USA: Star Wars affects Loafer

J J Abrams directed Star Wars The Force Awakens is releasing on 18th December in nearly 4,500 theaters in North America. On the other hand two other big Bollywood movies – Shah Rukh Khan’s Dilwale and Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone starrer Bhajirao Mastani also are releasing on the same day, leaving no room for other movies to get sufficient screens.

With three big movies having wide release in USA, Puri Jagannadh’s Loafer has failed to get enough screens for the weekend. The movie is to be screened in very limited screens from later tonight.

Even SRK’s Dilawale and Deepika’s Bhajirao Mastani are also affected by the mammoth screen count of Star Wars The Force Awakens in USA. In Loafer, Varun Tej has acted in the title role and his earlier movie Kanche had good run at USA box-office.
