In recent times, there’s been a new way of gauging the popularity of buzzy upcoming films — by the number of “interests” generated by a movie on Book My Show (BMS). For those who don’t know, Book My Show is a ticketing website that is also a fast-growing paid video on demand Indian OTT platform.
Audiences show their preferences for upcoming films by clicking the “Interested” button for a film on the upcoming films section in Book My Show. Fan clubs of actors have begun the trend of sharing the “Interests” numbers for their favourite actors’ films on social media.
The more the number of interests generated by a title on Book My Show, the more buzz and heft it carries in the minds of potential audiences.
September is a stacked month, as far as movie releases are concerned. A raft of movies are releasing in cinemas and OTT this month across languages, most with big stars attached.
We’ve ranked all the upcoming films releasing in India in the month of September on the basis of BMS “interests”. Six of the top ten ranks are taken up by Hollywood films, pointing to the fact that audiences are waiting to watch buzzy English films, both in theatres as well as on OTT.
Meanwhile, a surprise Punjabi film has beaten several films that are making a lot of noise on social media. One such noise-generating film is right at the bottom of the list. But the film that is at Number 1 for the month of September is no surprise at all!
