The third week will have the Eid holidays boosting the business on the weekdays but there will be competition from new releases like Acharya in Telugu, Heropanti 2 and Runway 34 in Hindi and various others in Kerala. The business will take a major hit in AP/TS and Kerala during the weekend, though North India will have enough capacity to continue maintaining strong holds and by the time Eid boost start on Tuesday, it may get a lot of screening in AP/TS as well. The Rs. 1000 crores plus final is still a possibility which will need the third week to be closer to Rs. 100 crores, which again is very much possible.
