Movie releases 14 June 2013 - Box Office Prediction

Two relatively major Bollywood movies are releasing tomorrow along with a summer blockbuster from Hollywood - Man of Steel.

Fukrey
Marketed as a reminder of those days of indulgence - college days, Fukrey marks the return of Pulkit Samrat in a completely new look and 3 others. Music of this movie is topping the charts and this should help this otherwise hopelessly faceless movie. It could be seen in the promos that this movie is produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, while Music is by Ram Sampath. This movie should get low opening but some opening.

Weekend: 4-5 crores
1st Week: 8-10 Crores
Lifetime: 12-14 Crores

Ankur Arora Murder Case
Another movie which is marketed quite differently. There is no music (at least nothing memorable), but story is quite apparent. I don't see this movie generating a buzz before the opening. Promos shows a new comer as an intern who turns on his idol as grows a conscious after a medical negligence happened while an operation was in progress. There is also a court room drama waiting for the viewers featuring Paoli Dam. This could help the movie, but only if the WOM for the movie is good.

Weekend : 3-4 Crores
1st Week: 7-8 Crores
Lifetime: 10-11 Crores

Man of Steel
Much awaiting movie from '300' fame Zack Synder is finally hitting the theaters tomorrow. Superman is very popular in India, and promos suggest that Superman is looking much more realistic and soulful this time. Promos also suggest that fight is going to physical as opposed to mind game in previous superman movies. Ratings on RottenTomatoes and IMDB may hurt this movie, though a blockbuster opening is guaranteed. I think this will make more than double of above mentioned movies combined.

Weekend: 25+ Crores
1st Week: 35 Crores
Lifetime: 45+ Crores
