Trade analyst Ramesh Bala predicted the film will definitely perform much better than Ranbir Kapoor's previous film Brahmastra but would not be able to beat Pathaan, Jawan and Gadar 2. However, it may compete with Tiger 3's opening day numbers. “Having said that, this is Ranbir's biggest advance collection in his career," Bala told India Today. Meanwhile, Animal is the the fourth Indian film to release in Bangladesh after Pathaan, Jawan and Leo. It also the second movie after Jawan to release on the same day in Bangladesh as the rest of the world.
