For the unversed, Game Changer is releasing in a variety of formats, giving moviegoers further options. The film is slated to hit theatres in IMAX, Dolby Cinema, and 4DX formats all over India. The film's advance booking numbers in these formats go on to reflect its appeal, with advance sales in IMAX and 4DX driving the ticket revenue further. The Telugu IMAX 2D version has already made Rs 4.4 lakh, with 1,124 tickets sold. On the other hand, the Hindi IMAX 2D format has contributed Rs 3.53 lakh, signalling a surge in interest in North India.
Furthermore, ticket prices were raised in select states, adding to the film's pre-sales earnings.

On top of that, the film's producers are making sure it reaches every corner of the country, with screenings scheduled in multiple regional markets.

TREMENDOUS response💥
Game Changer marks Telugu superstar Ram's first solo hero film in six years, after the global success of RRR. With fans eagerly awaiting his return on the big screen, the actor's performance as an IAS officer has added to the interest. Meanwhile, director Shankar aims for a successful comeback after the underperformance of his last film Indian 2.
Game Changer Production Cost
The film's producer Dil Raju has spared nothing in making Game Changer a visual spectacle. With a budget of Rs 400-500 crore, and songs like Jaragandi featuring 600 dancers, the scale promises to captivate audiences in the theatres. While the advance bookings look promising, the film's fate lies in its opening-day performance.
