The film’s pre-teaser and teaser left audiences in awe of Ranbir’s intense performance, creating an anticipation for the movie. ‘Animal’ is scheduled for release on December 1 in India, coinciding with the release of Vicky Kaushal and Meghna Gulzar’s ‘Sam Bahadur‘, which portrays the life of India’s first Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, the leader who steered India to victory in the 1971 war against Pakistan.Few weeks ago, ETimes had reported that ‘Animal’ is going to first release in the USA on November 30 and now we have a major update on the release of the film.
ETimes has now learnt that ‘Animal’ is going to be the widest Ranbir Kapoor release in the USA beating the numbers of ‘Brahmastra’. We are being told that ‘Animal’ is going to get more than 888 screens beating the ‘Brahmastra’ number of 810 screens. The USA shows on November 30 are slated to start from 6:30 in the evening (5 AM IST, December 1) and the advance booking for the film should begin from next week.

Over the past few days there has been a confusion about the length of the film, where one ticket booking app showed the length of the film as 3 hours and 18 minutes, while IMDB, says the length of the film is 2 hours and 26 minutes, yet no official word has been issued around this confusion.
A source reveals that given the genre of the film and the way audiences have been lapping up the action genre, the makers are very confident about the prospects of the film not only in India but also across the globe. Coming to action genre films Thalapathy Vijay’s ‘Leo: Bloody Sweet’, Rajinikant’s ‘Jailer’, Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Pathaan‘ and ‘Jawan‘ have already scored huge at the box office.
Animal was earlier supposed to release on August 11 where it was clashing with ‘Gadar 2’, but because of production issues the makers decided to postpone the film to December 1.The film also stars Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol and Rashmika Mandana.
