Scholarship has seized the top spot in Iran, overtaking Khanom valede with an FDI of 41.9 against its rival’s 23.9. The SEATmio Film Demand Index (FDI) is a film’s percentage share of all tickets SEATmio tracks in Iran, combining tickets for the last 7 days of screenings and advance tickets for future screenings. All ticket counts are rounded SEATmio estimates.

Borzoo Niknejad’s action comedy, from the director of Amphibious and Inadvertent, rose 30.4 points in a week and sold 000,000Unlock tickets in the last 7 days. Starring Javad Ezzati, Amir Jafari, Abbas Jamshidifar and Pantea Panahiha, Scholarship turns on a fictional robbery made chaotic by extreme clumsiness. Its 000,000Unlock advance tickets show that the lead is not built only on the week just passed.

Khanom valede is now the chased film, not the chaser. Soheil Movaffagh’s comedy, from the director of Cloture and Pastarioni, fell 16.8 points after leading 7 days ago, even as it sold 000,000Unlock tickets in the last 7 days. The Reza Attaran and Abbas Jamshidifar starrer, about two cash-strapped brothers who suddenly receive an inheritance, still sits well clear of the rest of the field.

Behind the top two, local titles are fighting over a much smaller but fluid band of demand. Hadi Mohammadian’s animated family comedy Savior Ship climbed from fourth to third, passing Killing Without Killing, even though it fell 1.5 points to an FDI of 6.0. Killing Without Killing slipped to fourth with an FDI of 5.8, as the Shahab Hosseini and Mohammad Reza Foroutan drama fell 5.4 points over the week.

Last weekend, from October 30 to November 1, Scholarship sold the most tickets with 000,000Unlock. Khanom valede followed with 000,000Unlock and fell 28% from the previous weekend, while Killing Without Killing sold 000,000Unlock and fell 41%. Savior Ship was the riser among the top weekend titles, up 10%, and none of the weekend top five opened that weekend.

Iranian productions dominate the upper table, led by the top four films and reinforced by Successor in seventh place. Mehdi Shamohammadi’s war thriller, about Hossein Amalaki, one of the commanders of the iran-iraq war, climbed from 10th to seventh and overtook Escort, The Death Bath, Idol and The Pool. It has an FDI of 2.1 after rising 0.6 points.

The next layer of demand is being shaped by smaller but active advances. بادبادک‌ها climbed from 11th to sixth, overtaking five titles, and now has 000,000Unlock advance tickets. Scholarship still sets the pace for future screenings with 000,000Unlock advance tickets, ahead of Khanom valede on 000,000Unlock and Savior Ship on 000,000Unlock.
