# No BookMyShow or District bookings for Jacob Elordi’s The Dog Stars in India 2026-08-27T05:38:38+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Two days before its scheduled August 28 India release, Ridley Scott's post-apocalyptic thriller The Dog Stars has no show timings or ticket bookings on BookMyShow or District. The platforms still list the release date but only offer an option to mark the film for notification when bookings open. The film, starring Jacob Elordi as a pilot surviving a flu pandemic, was originally set for March 27, 2026 before Disney rescheduled it. Its Indian rollout falls on the same date as Rocking Star Yash's Toxic, which opened on August 26. The absence of shows does not yet confirm a cancellation, but theatre allocations may simply not have opened for advance booking. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The Dog Stars premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2024 and has already streamed internationally on Disney+, which often depresses theatrical appeal abroad. In India, Hollywood films typically open advance bookings a week in advance, a two-day window is unusually late unless a release has been quietly delayed. Yash's Toxic, releasing on the same date, commands the bulk of multiplex screens in Karnataka and has secured premium-show allocations in other circuits. The real test is whether exhibitors add shows by Wednesday morning, or if Disney India simply skips a wide theatrical run and routes the film straight to Disney+ Hotstar, as it has done with several mid-tier Hollywood titles in 2024. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com Leads with uncertainty and questioning headline but offers no attributable sourcing or confirmation of cancellation, framed as speculation This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
