Evening shows and mass belts have registered excellent occupancy at 50-60 per cent and 65-70 per cent, said film trade analyst Sumit Kadel. However, trade analysts believe that coronavirus scare could dent the box office collections of the Sajid Nadiadwala and Fox Star Studios backed action film. Notably, the IIFA Awards 2020 and the release of the upcoming James Bond film 'NO Time to Die ' have also been postponed due to the COVID-19 scare.
