Tiger 3 advances continues at good pace with five days to go. The national chains have topped the 1 lakh mark at around 12.30pm on Tuesday (around 4.5 days before release) but there is a slower pace outside but there the sales are more post the first day. Its actually not about nationals and non nationals and more about where your presence is and the non nationals have many cinemas where collections on Diwali puja are very limited so they are recording better advances after the first day.

Till date no film has even got 20 crore nett on this day. Infact the 20 crore nett number has been a dream with films like Krrish 3 and Housefull 4 recording figures of around 16 crore nett on this day and till date these are the highest numbers. Obviously Tiger 3 is a bigger film than these and is coming when business is much higher but still it will struggle in many circuits..

The opening day number on advances looks big especially as ticket rates are at a record level but from past expecrience we know how this day works as collections come to a stand still in all the Hindi speaking areas and the target will be to get over 30 crore nett which would be a huge number.. The number may not look big due to what some films have done post the pandemic but you cant fight history and the slowing of collections on day one will happen and there is nothing that can be done about that. 

The little plus as compared to the releases before the pandemic is the ratio of business from South has gone up for the bigger films and with the Diwali Puja being less of an issue in South this could take the film to a higher number than 30 crore nett. Nizam / Andhra is looking the leading market for the film on advances.
