Opening Maximisation Engine. Before any asset is cut or positioning locked — understanding what the film genuinely has to offer, and building the campaign around that.
Before the first trailer launches. Before creatives are locked. This is the moment to understand exactly what the film has to offer an audience — and how to communicate it for maximum Day 1 impact.
Film (pre-trailer, before campaign assets are locked)
CDE Score — Universal + Genre drivers
First day ₹ forecast + full campaign strategy
A campaign doesn't create a film's opening. It unlocks — or fails to unlock — what the film already has to give. SDI identifies what the film has before the campaign is designed, so every asset, every message, and every platform decision is grounded in what the film can actually deliver.
The most effective campaigns are built from assets the film genuinely provides — the hook, the hero moments, the music, the cultural trigger, the emotional core. SDI identifies which of these are strong, which are weak, and which should drive the communication.
The audience a film can reach is not a marketing decision — it's a content decision. SDI identifies the primary, secondary, and potential stretch audiences before the first trailer is cut — so creative decisions are made with the right target in mind, not retrofitted afterwards.
The output is a first day ₹ forecast, a positioning and messaging strategy, and a full asset rollout plan — before the campaign begins. Not a critique of what was made. A blueprint for what should be made.
What will this film open at?
CDE rating and first day ₹ forecast — before the campaign launches.
Who exactly are we targeting — and where?
Primary, secondary, and stretch audience identification. Not segments — actual people with actual behaviour patterns.
What should we communicate?
Positioning and messaging strategy built from the film's actual campaign assets — not from generic templates.
What is the asset rollout plan?
Creative, media, and PR strategy with sequenced asset deployment — from first look to release day.
Pre-trailer — before campaign assets are locked.
The earlier SDI is engaged, the more the campaign can be shaped — rather than reacting to decisions already made. Ideal entry: before the first trailer is cut.
