Crew Advance Booking Report
Helmed by Rajesh Krishnan, the comedy entertainer has made the right buzz among the audience. The fun-filled teaser and trailer of Crew have hit the ball out of the park. Moreover, the music of the film has also been received pretty well by the audience. It goes without saying that the songs Naina, Ghagra, and the remix version of Choli have elevated the excitement to a new level.
The advance booking of Crew comes as a surprise to many as the movie has already crossed the pre-sales of some recently released Hindi movies.

The Kareena Kapoor Khan, Kriti Sanon, and Tabu starrer Crew is looking for a total pre-sales of 40,000 in PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis (PIC) before its release.
Crew & Godzilla X Kong Opening Day Prediction
As of now, Crew is expected to open with a respectable number of Rs. 8 crore, while the Hollywood live-action movie is likely to take a double-digit start of Rs. 10 crore at the Indian box office. Both movies have a different target audience, but at the end of the day, a clash is a clash!
The Good Friday holiday proves to be a big support for both releases. It will be interesting to see how they perform over the weekend after a good start.
