Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and starring Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol and others is on the crest of a wave. The advance bookings for the film are terrific and the momentum is only increasing as we head closer to the film's release. As at 11am on 28th November, 2023, the Ranbir Kapoor drama has sold 1.51 lakh tickets in top Indian movie chains PVR, Inox and Cinepolis for the opening day. Of the 1.51 lakhs, 1.21 lakh tickets are booked in PVRInox and the rest in Cinepolis.

Animal Has Sold 1.51 Lakh Tickets In Top National Chains For Day 1 As At 11AM On 28th November, 2023

The number of tickets sold is one thing and the momentum is another. The prebookings of Animal have remained constantly strong even on its second and third day of advance, with numbers matching or even bettering the first day of sales, which is a rarity for big films. The pace indicates that Animal is very much on track to sell over 4 lakh tickets in top chains to end up registering the third best presales of 2023, only behind Pathaan and Jawan.

Animal Is Likely To Face Capacity Constraints Due To Its Long Run Time And Clash With Sam Bahadur

While Animal's presales are terrific, the film is likely to face capacity constraints due to its long run time of over 3 hours and 20 minutes and also because of the release of Sam Bahadur on the very same day, which has some genuine hype backing it too.
