Will the double endings in Housefull 5 prove beneficial for its box-office or not? Will it start a trend of multiple endings in films?
– It may actually not make a difference to the film’s box-office. It is very unlikely that it starts a trend of two or more endings in films. For, this has been tried earlier in Hollywood but did not become popular. Incidentally, while 70% of the screens are playing the film’s first version, only the balance 30% are showing the second version. That is how the producer has planned it.
Will the sequel to Jaat be made or was the announcement just a publicity gimmick?
– The producers of JAAT had announced its sequel after seeing the first week’s box-office collections. But the collections dropped quite markedly in the second week and went on falling in the subsequent weeks too. Ultimately, the film could not recover its cost, leave alone making a profit. It did not net even Rs. 100 crore. But the public perception, probably because of the impressive collections in the first week, is that JAAT did well at the box-office. The producers would rely on the public perception to promote their sequel at the time of its release.
Will Sitaare Zameen Par be available on YouTube from the day the film is released in the cinemas?
– No, it will be available on YouTube after several weeks of its theatrical release. Instead of an OTT platform, it can be viewed in the comfort of your home but only for a price.
