Reason Behind Low Show Count For Bro?

Usually, Pawan Kalyan films are released on the maximum number of screens with the highest number of shows. Irrespective of talk or hype, his films have always created a festival-like atmosphere in almost all the theaters in the Telugu states.

But in a rare scenario, the show count for Bro, especially in Hyderabad, is very low as compared to previous Pawan Kalyan films. The show count is even lower than recent tier-2 hero films like Dasara and Liger.

This low show count is mainly due to the previous week’s films holding well at the box office. Baby, Oppenheimer, Barbie, and MI7 are still pulling in great numbers, so they are retaining most of the screens.

This week’s new release, Rocky Aur Ranii Ki Prem Kahani, is also expected to do well, and the multiplexes have given it a good number of shows. All these films are taking up more than 70% of the screens available, leaving very few theaters and shows for BRO. The remake factor is also working against it. This low show count may affect the first day’s numbers considerably.

The advance bookings gross for Bro have touched the 5 Crore mark in Hyderabad, which is good but behind Bheemla Nayak.

The film is sold at high prices to the buyers, and so it needs to get exceptional word of mouth to sustain itself amid so many films and achieve break-even.
