Among a crush of new product coming our way this long Christmas weekend, the Indian-Telugu language action epic Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire hopes to ignite some interest when it opens December 22nd. Clocking in at 175 minutes, Prashanth Neel directs with a cast including Prabhas, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Shruti Hassan, and Jagapathi Babu.

For comps, you don’t have to look back far. September’s Jawan is from a similar genre and is nearly the same length (169 minutes). It opened in early September to $6.1 million on just over 800 screens (the reported number that Ceasefire will see). That was over a traditional three-day weekend, but this arrives on the extended holiday frame with Christmas falling on a Monday.

While this is expected to make the vast bulk of its money overseas, this could have a similar start stateside and perhaps a bit more due to the holiday. Yet the marketplace is so crowded that this may struggle to reach what Jawan did in three days.

Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasfire opening weekend prediction: $4.4 million (Friday to Monday estimate)
