The fight for more screens continues. Till evening today, the bookings for the movie were open only in IMAX and other premium formats, and not the regular screens.

The last one month has had one blockbuster in the form of F1, 1 solid hit in Jurassic World: Rebirth and 1 decent performer in Superman.
