Animal has taken a huge opening across the nation. The film registered more than 60% occupancy in the morning shows in Hindi markets. Delhi and Rajasthan have seen big rushes, and the occupancy is getting better after the noon shows.The film is relying on Mumbai territory for the big numbers that will come at night. The market has a huge number of multiplexes, which also have higher ticket prices, and the capacity in the evening and night shows contributes a lot to the overall opening day collection.Animal is looking to cross the 45 crore nett mark comfortably in the Hindi markets, and that number seems almost certain at the moment. But can it hit the 50 crore nett mark in Hindi? That is the question.A long runtime has caused limited shows, and A-rated certification has kept the family audience away. So, 45–50 crore is a much bigger number than what it usually looks like. Animal will also become the biggest opener in Clash, surpassing Sunny Deol's Gadar 2, which collected 40 crore on opening day in the clash.
