The box office trade is buzzing this week, as per latest prediction report has some genuinely interesting movement to unpack. From a Marvel re-release quietly setting the advance booking counters on fire to two small releases running out of steam before they even hit theatres — here’s the complete breakdown of what’s coming to Indian cinemas and how each film is expected to perform on opening day.

No New Entry This Week — Here’s Why
The column skipped adding a fresh title this time. Udta Teer was lined up to be the new entry, but the makers haven’t released any promotional material yet, making an early forecast pointless. Adding to the caution, the genre it belongs to has been underperforming lately, so trade expectations remain modest until the trailer drops and does the talking.
Avengers: Endgame Encore — The Real Headline
This is where things get exciting. Avengers: Endgame, one of the biggest blockbusters in cinema history, is returning to Indian theatres, and advance bookings opened a full two weeks before release — a rare move that signals strong distributor confidence.
The response has been outstanding. As things stand, the film has already sold over 60,000 tickets for its opening weekend, including more than 25,000 tickets for opening day alone — and this is despite a limited rollout, with several major cinema chains and cities yet to even open bookings.

For context, if this level of advance selling belonged to a brand-new release, trade analysts would comfortably project an opening day north of Rs. 10 crore nett. Re-releases, however, don’t usually enjoy the same walk-in and last-minute momentum as fresh films, which tempers the final number slightly. Even so, It has revised its forecast upward — from Rs. 5–8 crore nett to a stronger Rs. 6–9 crore nett, with the pinpoint estimate climbing from Rs. 5 crore to Rs. 8 crore nett.
This is a reminder of just how enduring the Avengers: Endgame legacy remains — years after its original release, the film can still command serious footfall on the big screen.
The Vvaan Sees a Mid-Course Correction
The Vvaan had a rocky start on the buzz front. Its teaser landed with a thud and pulled down early expectations considerably. Since then, though, two songs from the film have clicked better with audiences, giving the promotional campaign some much-needed momentum.
The film also carries devotional undertones, though it’s still unclear how much that angle will influence footfall on day one. The bigger positive: industry insiders who’ve had early access say the trailer — not yet released publicly — marks a significant improvement over the teaser.
Factoring in these developments, It has revised The Vvaan’s opening day forecast upward to Rs. 3.50–7 crore nett. If the trailer lands as well as word-of-mouth suggests, expect another bump before release.
Vibe and Daayra: Buzz Fails to Build
Not every film gets a positive update this week. Both Vibe and Daayra have struggled to generate meaningful pre-release conversation, and as a result, It has trimmed the upper end of the forecast range for both titles heading into their release.

The Bigger Picture
What makes this week’s report interesting is the contrast: a nearly decade-old Hollywood re-release outpacing the advance buzz of several new Indian releases combined. It’s a strong signal of how much box office pull a genuine cultural phenomenon can still generate, re-release or not — while smaller films continue to fight an uphill battle for audience attention amid a crowded release calendar.
All eyes now turn to whether The Vvaan’s trailer can keep its positive momentum going, and whether Vibe and Daayra can find a last-minute spark before their September 18 release.
