Tere Ishk Mein registers decent occupancy in day 1 morning shows
Speaking about the entire country, Tere Ishk Mein recorded an average occupancy of 15% in the morning shows of day 1, which is a decent start to the film’s box office journey. For a non-holiday release and a romantic drama genre, this is good, and throughout the day, it is expected to perform well.
With a 15% occupancy in the morning shows, Tere Ishk Mein opened better than some Bollywood biggies, such as Sikandar and Housefull 5. For those who don’t know, Sikandar had an occupancy of 14% in the morning shows of day 1. Housefull 5 had an occupancy of 14%.
The occupancy is also better than Akshay Kumar-led Jolly LLB 3 (10%) and Ajay Devgn’s De De Pyaar De 2 (7%).
All set for a solid start
Considering the advance booking of over 5 crore+ gross and the morning occupancy of 15%, Tere Ishk Mein aims for a solid start at the Indian box office. Since initial word of mouth is decent, footfalls are expected to grow significantly in the evening and nighttime shows. So, it seems that the film will target a day 1 of 12-15 crore net at the Indian box office.
