As this year's Diwali offering - Thugs Of Hindostan - hits the marquee today, trade industry is betting big on the Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan starrer. The adventure drama, that releases across 5,000 screens in India, is expected to register the highest opening weekend collections in Bollywood.

Trade analyst Amod Mehra says, "The first weekend collections of Thugs Of Hindostan is expected to be in the range of Rs 150-200 crore. The advance booking may have started off slowly, but it picked up yesterday. I am sure the occupancy in theatres will not be less than 90 per cent till Sunday."
