but am damn sure...7th sense will release in max. screens than velayudham.....but there is ra.one....srk has a huge mass and support in malaysia....it will be a tough call...

85 crores -nnu ippa news odittu irukku... graphix-kke 10c vaarikkum spent panrangalame...

me too heard ...
uday told sometime back in twitter 50C

[yellow]

2. why do you expect Nanban to make twice that of Mangaatha ?? i dont think its a normal Shankar big budget film ..

Ithu konjam Over i feel..

[yellow]

7 th sense will not reach even 50 CR...as it is releasing in Diwali day..
But if they release the movie after Diwali(after 2 weeks) it may reach the budget cost.. otherwise it will not collect that much..bacause in tamilnadu B& C centers Velayudham will rock i feel.Infront of V cannot stand 7 am arivu...Better relase 7th sense post Diwali otherwise producer in soup...This is my personal thought.

[NOV]

1. Surya's market in Malaysia has grown tremendously. I noticed it in VA - which made a lot of money. The next movie of Ayan made more. Aadhavan made more than Ayan and Singam made more than Aadhavan. Do you see a pattern here? Even Karthi's movies are promoted as Surya thambi....
And unlike Leo, I dont think its becos of his choice of movies but his personality. Otherwise silly movies of his wouldnt have become hits.

2. As far as I have seen, Vijay's mass market is second only to Rajni. His movies always open in the best of cinemas.

3. Hindi movies have lost the market in Malaysia. Their biggest film can only match the smallest Thamizh film.

chandramukhi released in 2005.... now the inflation rate is totally different in india... but what abt malaysia ? still its holding 5th position ?

[Mahen]

how did Adhavan make so much money ?? is Surya that much popular there ??

also, Mahen.. why do you expect Nanban to make twice that of Mangaatha ?? i dont think its a normal Shankar big budget film ..

simple anban..multi starrer/vijay/shankar..im very sure the family audience are gona love the movie..naane 3I 3 times patthen...the WOM is gona be super positive..and i assume 90% of tamil speaking people here have not watched 3I..
Shankar and vijay have huge following here:)

[Mahen]

Mankatha's ROI is much higher considering its budget $6-7 million ...
for the information... 7 aam arivu's budget is $19 million....
agree..mangatha's ROI will much higher than the rest..we audience like to see the total collection :) ROI ellam producers oda territory :)

[Anban]

Shankar and vijay have huge following here:)
but still double that of Mangaatha ellaam romba over .. i dont think tickets will be very heavily priced for nanban like an endhiran .. ok lets have a bet .. nanban wont cross sivaji .. i am damn sure .. that movie wont create that much of excitement or hype ..

[Anban]

7 th sense will not reach even 50 CR...as it is releasing in Diwali day..
But if they release the movie after Diwali(after 2 weeks) it may reach the budget cost.. otherwise it will not collect that much..bacause in tamilnadu B& C centers Velayudham will rock i feel.Infront of V cannot stand 7 am arivu...Better relase 7th sense post Diwali otherwise producer in soup...This is my personal thought.

ennappa ippiddi sollitta.. compare Kavalan and SIruthai .. two hit movies ..

7am arivu is going to be released by Sun pics and red giant .. and it will be generate more hype than velayudham for sure... results ellaam padam vantha thaan theriyum .

[Mahen]

looking at the figures again, yeah i agree with you..chances of matching Sivaji is quite tough..i predict 1.5-2.0mil

[SoftSword]

enna anban kuttiya potta poonai maadhiri indha pakkamae sutthittu irukkaaru??? :roll:

Yes even i feel so....Since the budget is big they will target first 3 weeks collection so it will be released in more number of theaters....as we know surya has good market in other states also so sure overall collection will fetch ROI but for sure inside TN it will face tiff competition with Velayutham......

only disappointment thing for 7th arivu is songs producers gonna have tough time in promoting :D

I guess mankatha could reach 9 cr mark to the max

[Siv.S]

I guess mankatha could reach 9 cr mark to the max
Chances were there for 10Cr mark , 2.5C in another 3-4 weeks is very much possible,but now it will have good collection only in this week, from coming weekend Sun pics replacing Mankatha in almost all the major theatres with Vedi... mostly it will shift to suburban theatres... expect few shows in multiplexes...

[Avadi to America]

IMO, As for as concerning Overseas and out side of tamil nadu, There is a huge gap in market between (rajini or kamal) and younger actors including Ajith, VJ, surya etc....... The overseas demographic heavily favors them more than anyone..... so it is quite difficult to reach the collection of sivaji. Eventhough adding steroids (marketing gimmicks) to younger heros movie and showing it as a monsterous like hulk does not help them to beat the collection of sivaji. The bottomline is sivaji was genuinely a monsterous hit in overseas in 2007 with newly tested medicine, call it marketing strategey or innovative business model for TFM.

[Anban]

Dasa made around 97 lakhs in the opening weekend.. Sivaji also around same figure i think .. so Rajini/Kamal hit movie grosses around 9% of its total in the opening weekend ..

Assuming Mankatha reaches 10c, it would mean that a Ajith hit movie grosses 30% or so in its opening weekend .. !!

it means two things ..
1. awesome opening - great youth base
2. follow up lacks the same momentum - weaker family audience base

Rightly said,especially the second point.
Techinically speaking, the revenue graph with time (week) for younger heros would be more of "S" curve with much steeper slope than rajini/kamal which means the faster/increasing rate of reduction.

[HonestRaj]

A2A.. i was about to reply for point 2..
infact, they have the advantage because of wide release + media hype..
if we still follow the old method of.. max. 3 screens per city + more films to compete + film need to run atleast 25 days to get back the invesment... only very few actors can stand...
one thing they are fighting is.. piracy..

[Anban]

Rightly said,especially the second point.
Techinically speaking, the revenue graph with time (week) for younger heros would be more of "S" curve with much steeper slope than rajini/kamal which means the faster/increasing rate of reduction.

Among the younger heroes this trend is most prominent for ajith ... Surya or vijay won't have such a high opening percentage ..

[CHELLA(M)PORIKKI]

what do u mean by opening... the time circle keep on changes... so dont under estimate... VJ's opening percentage and with standing the collection in long run.... for those who doubt so will b answered very soon...

[Avadi to America]

Among the younger heroes this trend is most prominent for ajith ... Surya or vijay won't have such a high opening percentage ..

So the factor "Sustainability" or family audience support in box office would grow big as they grow old.

[Siv.S]

Mankatha will not fall under point 2 , usual-aa Ajith movies family audience lack than, but not mankatha... 4th weekend 40 laks than collection... weekdays 80-90 lakhs-laam mainly family audience than... eppavum wide release-la ivlavu success aaka mudiyathu.. Sathyam 8 shows la than start pannainga.. booking rushes paathuthan 12 15 nnu poyi kasaisi 30*5 = 150 shows... it will not happen always...

All points were taken based on relative analysis...... if you compare Ajith's movie with his previous movies whta you said woudl make sense. My point here is how the demography and star power plays a vital role in boxoffice success. that's it. the conclusions are made by data driven approach rather than theory or personal agenta on anyone....If you rise question at quality of data, sorry i do not have answer to your question.

[Siv.S]

A2A agree with you completely...

I am just comparing his youth vs family base ... Though family base might be good on its own , youth/family ratio is lower compared to others due to factors like lack of tv interviews / appearances , "thala" / "dada" branding .. But todays youth base will be tomorrows family base ... And if they implement the first two weeks ticket hike rule , ajith will benefit the most in the industry ...


Coming to Mankatha , my house is behind jayathi and opposite thiyagaraja ... They just removed the movie last week ... didnt see much family audience ... The previous hit movie here was kanchana ... Sema ladies crowd ..

I guess multiplex family crowd must have contributed heavily to those numbers ..

If ajith gives attention to family crowd , he will eat other youth heroes alive ..

siva, is it possible for you to get the "Chennai Box office Opening" for Ajith, Vijay Vikram and Surya for their last 4 movies...just want to see whose opening is best.
No sarna,Antha alavukku porumai illai... '09 munnala records-lam kidaikkirathu kastam...

[petston]

Ippadi oru padamae BO la vasool kodukkudhunna, Vijay oru nalla padam kodutha????


thalaiva.. itha sonna enga namala namburanunga.. vijay has more fan base after rajni... even he has the capacity to overtake rajini......Vela vantha therinjudum ulagathukey vijay yaaru nu

[Sarna]

atleast last two movies of the respective stars Opening weekend collection ?

[petston]

To understand better, please list the movies where Surya has selected script. For eg: Ajith selected Vaali script from SJ Surya. How many exciting scripts has Surya selected from newcomers? IMHO Surya acts in established directors' movies who take care of the script and do bulk of the work. Nothing wrong in it, but it is not entirely right to say he selects good scripts either. Maybe his choice of directors is good-nu sollalaam.

yaaru sonna weak nu.... have look on 7 am arivu audio launch.. surya vey sollitan enaku vantha story ethuvumey enakga vanthutahu illa .. matra stars reject pana story than nu .... so directors chioce is still vijay and ajith... they have both mass and multiplex audiences.... suryah just cant compete with vijay and ajith as he gave hits in last 3 years.... ajith is king of opening... vijay is vasool chakravarthy... vijay minimum guarantee.. red card distribution prechana ellam dmk govt thundi vittathu.... vijay ku collection agama than chennai distribution rights and some other distributions la irunthu paisa pogutha.... suryah ku athu ippa than start ayiruku... nanga pala varushama apdi than irukom boss..

[ajaybaskar]

Siv,

Mankatha got a 5 day weekend opening. I am not taking the credit off Ajith (he anyways is known for opening) but that helped the bumper opening too. If not similar to the collections of Mankatha, the other films wouldve got a pretty decent collection figures if they had released in 5 day weekend.

[Siv.S]

Ajay,

5 days weekend-nnalum the booking opend with 7-8 shows in multiplexes and 1 or 2 screens in sangam,Abhirami,Devi,Rohini and all...but after saw the rushing of advance booking the major theatres played mankatha in all of their screens, and 30 shows in Sathyam,AGS and 20 shows in PVR,INox.. that increasing shows didnt happened for other movies,including Ajith's previous movies.

The 1.79Crs collection is not from 5 days, those figures are from 3rd,4th,5th day collection.

[ajaybaskar]

Ajith, even with a mediocre film, gets the 2nd best opening after Rajni. So the long weekend only helped the collections further. Thats what I meant. Had the 3rd, 4th and 5th day been sunday, monday and tuesday, then the case would've been quite different, right?

[Anban]

Paavam Gemini films and Shankar ... Vera hero va potu eduthurukalam ... ippovae ootha aarambitchutaanga :banghead: Nanban wont create as much hype as Sivaji/Endhiran .. naan padam oothikkumnu sollave illa.. i too think that it will be a hit .

[Siv.S]

Ajith, even with a mediocre film, gets the 2nd best opening after Rajni. So the long weekend only helped the collections further. Thats what I meant.
There is no second thought 5 days opening helped for the overall collections,but there were several movies from lead actors went for wide relases and 5 days weekend,but avangalukku intha mathri success kidaikkala. :) So Mankatha is something spl for Ajith even though he is one of the best to get biggest opening.


Had the 3rd, 4th and 5th day been sunday, monday and tuesday, then the case would've been quite different, right?
Ithu enna puthu kathai Ajay, fri,sat,sunday thaana weekend ... ella movie-kkum antha 3 days thaana compare pannom..But Monday matinee-lam 80-90% full pochunkirathum unmai. 515

FYI, Mankatha's second weekend i.e. Sep 9,10.11 collection was 1.3 crs which is still higher than other movies opening weekend collection. :)

[ajaybaskar]

Siva,

I know the weekend is Friday, sat and sunday. Had the film released on a friday, lets assume the film collects 1.8 C in its opening weekend - which itself is phenomenal. I was referring to the 2.7 c mark.

ohh ok ok, I think noone compared those 2.7 figures with other's opening ;) second weekend 1.3C also phenomenal :p and the monday screenshot i was given was second week monday sep 12 :)

And I also dont remember a similar long weekend solo release for any other actor in recent times.

Ajay, if u see, most of the people(working-batchelors) in chennai are from others parts of tamilnadu... for 2 or 3 days weekend, people rarely go to their hometown... considering 5 days weekend, most would have gone to their home town.... right ? in that case, the collections should have been lesser comparitively... am I right ?
I went to my hometown bangalore for 5 days weekend and i didnt watch mankatha here at chennai in the first 5 days.... many would have done the same.... so, other than batchelors, this time, family audience who rarely go to their hometown (because wife will say "lets go to my parents house" but husband wont will to go to his parent in laws house), thronged the theatres.... i guess this is why mankatha collected more in first few weeks and went to saturation.....family audience dhaan long run'ku reason'aa iruppaanga, but this time they watched in first few weeks.... and most of the batchelors might have seen in their respective home towns, so angeyum padam nallaa kallaa kattiyirukkum...
For this movie, audio release was not that grand... only promotions in sun tv(correct me here if i am wrong)... because of Ajith's kolgai, his movie never enjoys a huge publicity .... so, this movie is a true and genuine hit :bow: :bow:

Now Surya's 7 aum arivu is enjoying a huge publicity.....Last movie was Endhiran I remember... sorry using Endhiran(Rajini), sun and kalanidhimaran enjoyed publicity :cool: thats a different case.

[BM]

Biggest release of the year thus far; Sun Pictures; Thala 50; Ajith in a full fledged bad-man character; Action King; Yuvan’s music – things don’t get bigger. It looks like a juggernaut at the moment.

Trade Talk:
You know about Ajith’s openings. And, if the response is anything to go by, this one is in for a long run.

Public Talk:
Thala Pola Varuma.

No. Days Completed: 5
No. Shows in Chennai over this weekend: 774
Average Theatre Occupancy over this weekend: 95%
Collection over this weekend in Chennai: Rs. 1,79,35,278 ie Sep 02nd 2011 to Sep 04th 2011

Verdict: Grand Opening


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Velayudham might be the remake of the Hindi film Azad, but that’s exactly what his fans asked for. There is Vijay in all his glory, fights, comedy, sentiment and songs. What more could a die-hard Vijay fan ask for.

Trade Talk:
Though it fell short of making as good advance collections as 7aum Arivu, Velayudham was not quite far behind.

Public Talk:
Velayudham might just be the surprise winner for Diwali what with Vijay delivering what his fans expect out of him.

No. Days Completed: 5
No. Shows in Chennai over this weekend: 492
Average Theatre Occupancy over this weekend: 90%
Collection over this weekend in Chennai: Rs. 11,701,270 ie Oct 28th 2011 to Oct 30th 2011
Total collections in Chennai: Rs. 1.95 Crore ie Oct 26th 2011 to Oct 30th 2011

Verdict: Very Good Opening

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Touted to be a sci-fi thriller, 7aum Arivu opened with huge expectations quite unseen for any movie in recent times. Suriya is paired with Shruti who is making her Tamil debut. Murugadoss wields the baton while Harris scores for the movie.

Trade Talk:
Although the movie received a phenomenal opening, thanks to the stupendous advance booking record, sustaining the opening mayhem depends solely on the movie’s performance in the coming weeks.

Public Talk:
It is a mix bag response for 7aum Arivu and it seems like fans are voicing disappointment over the movie’s inconsistencies.

No. Days Completed: 5
No. Shows in Chennai over this weekend: 594
Average Theatre Occupancy over this weekend: 90%
Collection over this weekend in Chennai: Rs. 13,217,553 ie Oct 28th 2011 to Oct 30th 2011

It's Mankatha, Mankatha, Mankatha all the way...The festival season of Ramzan and Vinayaga Chathurthi became an event at the CBO with the release of Thala Ajith’s Mankatha on August 31. The Ajith film went on to take an earth shattering opening and is the clear number one by a mile!
Mankatha has netted an unbelievable whopping Rs 2.72 crore in the five-day festival weekend from 19 screens in Chennai city. The multiplexes gave it the maximum number of shows including morning shows in all screens. Sathyam Cinemas reported a net of Rs 33, 72, 000 from two screens for the five-day weekend.

evvlo azhagaa sila vishayam maraikkeenga :rotfl2: They mentioned 5 days collections. And in special note they had mentioned this "* Diwali special shows are not considered while calculating box office collections.". Under all cases they would have considered those as special shows. Also Diwali morning special shows they would not have considered for both Vela and 7th sense.

NOV,
With those special shows a day before diwali, 7th sense collection would be extremely good. For the matter of fact, Sathyam Cinemas itself screened overall 27 shows on Tuesday. Approximately Sathyam cinemas itself would have collected 8 lakhs on Tuesday. Looks like BW dont want to upset Rival fans. So they safely mentioned Diwali special shows were not considered :lol2:

Overall it is again proved that Surya is the King / Emperor / Emperor's Wife of Opening :wink: And he is proving his opening BO pulls in consistency. Not once in a No moon day :wink:

mankatha is a solo release. 7aum Arivu and Velayudham competing against each other. They both still manage to do well. If both Vela and 7am released solo it can easily beat Mankatha.

With those special shows a day before diwali, 7th sense collection would be extremely good. For the matter of fact, Sathyam Cinemas itself screened overall 27 shows on Tuesday. Approximately Sathyam cinemas itself would have collected 8 lakhs on Tuesday. Looks like BW dont want to upset Rival fans. So they safely mentioned Diwali special shows were not considered :lol2:

Overall it is again proved that Surya is the King / Emperor / Emperor's Wife of Opening :wink: And he is proving his opening BO pulls in consistency. Not once in a No moon day :wink:

mankatha is a solo release. 7aum Arivu and Velayudham competing against each other. They both still manage to do well. If both Vela and 7am released solo it can easily beat Mankatha.

Mankatha has netted an unbelievable whopping Rs 2.72 crore in the five-day festival weekend from 19 screens in Chennai city. The multiplexes gave it the maximum number of shows including morning shows in all screens. Sathyam Cinemas reported a net of Rs 33, 72, 000 from two screens for the five-day weekend.

http://www.sify.com/movies/boxoffice.php?id=14978423&cid=13525926

There should be some difference between this "netted 2.72 Cr " and total collection for all movies by behindwoods.

As I mentioned they might have wanted to satisfy Rival fans or Since officially not a release day they dont want to include or some other stupid reason.. basically what was mentioned in 5 days collection. And yes kidaichatha vachchithaan sanda poanum :lol2:

Yellow,
Theater occupancy over the week end shows it is receiving good response from Media and public. With lots of negative reviews and response surrounded and along with huge rains in Chennai theater occupancy of 7th sense is very better. Probably you might want to check previous movies theater occupancy too to get a better idea.

Sekar_Suman,
Why to check previous vijay movies alone, you can check for previous Ajith movies too :p

Velayutham Becomes a Winner in UK and USA :2thumbsup:

The Diwali releases are going over the top in box office results. While Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Ra One’ is rocking at its best spinning bigger profits, the Tamil releases aren’t an exception. Udhayanidhi Stalin’s ‘Ezham Arivu’ has grossed with a whooping collection of Rs. 25Crores within first five days after release.

On the pars, Vijay’s Velayutham is doing a fabulous business in box office not alone in Tamil Nadu but across the overseas region as well. :clap: :happydance:

Bollywood’s most prominent trade analyst Taran Adarsh has mentioned that the film has taken a good opening in all areas of Mumbai while the overseas response is tremendous.

There are flaws in his views, but the message he is trying to convey is sensible.

Few discrepancies.

1. Opposite from his views most of the fans blindly believe whatever any magazines says.
2. W.r.t Mangatha, how come he was sure about abt the collection figures. 80 crores or so overall and 35 crores in the first 5 days.. That is also coming from websites and magazines only right? Anyone released official figures?
Leaving this aside without any doubt it is very basic sense that Mangatha would have collected much more than Vela and 7th sense in the opening 5 days. Overall collection too, at the end for this year for sure Mangatha would be the highest grosser and probably second would be KO.

Eppadi paarthaalum ezhaam arivu and vela collecting 50 crores / 40 crores each in 5 or 7 days is crap.

Also mankatha(gambler) is hit in telugu also recently completed 50 days.

USA - 260000$ only opening weekend
Malaysia around 6C - 1194000$ approx
UK 1.24C,then singapore,europe,UAE ,collections will contibute to some extent
then add up Karnataka,rest of india,Kerala,
solo release so mankatha has more possibility of that figure even if you go by radhika tweets.
Even uday tweeted KO collected 18C totally but chennai itself 8C.

Also mankatha(gambler) is hit in telugu also recently completed 50 days.
overseas.
USA - 260000$ only opening weekend
Malaysia around 6C - 1194000$ approx
UK 1.24C,then singapore,europe,UAE ,collections will contibute to some extent
then add up Karnataka,rest of india,Kerala,
so solo release mankatha has more possibility of that figure even if you go by radhika tweets.
Even uday tweeted KO collected 18C totally but chennai itself 8C.
If you still dont agree say vela 50C or 7 sense 55C i cant help
atleast i am happy mankatha is considered as benchmark this year.

[CSK]

But Ayngaran officially confirmed 40C for Vela.

How come radhika tweet is believed n Ayngaran (more trustable) not accepted???

Even Udhay's tweet is believed.

[Parthyy]

Karthick thaanpa radhika source reliable pola post pannaanga.naana sonnaen
i said possibility of that figure EVEN if you go by RADHIKA tweets didnt say reliable.

Do you think 80C is possible in 5 days for tamil films?

[CSK]

If single movie released and nets 30 C something, y cant 2 movies net 40 each on festival days??

And almost all shows for both movies were houseful for first five days.

It was same for mangatha too, all shows houseful

And overseas 1 day collection = 3 (more) days collection in TN. (approx, not sure though)
Both movies opened big in overseas . Simple

[BM]

Its not only about trusting or not trusting the people who are giving the figures (BO collection figures). As TM quoted, if we apply our very basic sense we could figure it out whether its possible or not. Mankatha's collection will be anywhere between 70 to 80 crores, that too we were able to get these details after one month.

[CSK]

If so, wat is the need for world class distributor/Producer Ayngaran to come with tat statement?? Wat is the need for them. As someone said, antha incomeku avanga tax kooda pay pannanum.

Did the distributor who did for 7am came up with tat info???

[Siv.S]

Do you think 80C is possible in 5 days for tamil films?
Its something new that "producers" revealing the collection so soon,as someone told here it is giant sized ego that releasing figures like this, a cheap tricks for post release promotions.

CBO - 2.5C
UK - 1C
US - 1C
My - 5Cr
Other overseas - 4Cr
kerala,karnataka - 3Cr

so both movies should have been collected around 25 crores in 300-400 screens in tamilnadu :)

p.s. Enthiran the solo release and the biggest release of tamil cinema said to be collected around 30 crores in its first week.

So if 3 big movies released 120cr, if 4 big movies 160 cr and so on. Ennai kodumai logic ithu.

Let me take CBO For example, if we go by today's sify cbo report,

7aum Arivu ( incuding Oct 25 Matinee shows) - Rs 2.35 Crore
Velayudham - Rs 2.10 Crore

ie from 26 to 30 both movies collected almost equal in CBO. But Ezham arivu released in more screens and big screens (except sathyam) with more special shows. Going by any logic both movies getting the same collection in first five days is impossible in reality.

A word on why would producers claim more profit by lying: suppose you are a producer with 15 cr black money in your hand. Suppose your movie earns actual money of 60 crores. For simplicity, let's assume 33 percent tax. If you announce 60 cr profit, then you pay 20 cr tax. After paying tax, your assets: 40 crore White Money, 15 Crores black money(which you already had). . Total: 55 cr. Now, suppose instead you add the black money to the profit and claim 75 crore revenue: then you pay 25 cr tax. Net Assets after paying tax: 50 crores white. That is 5 crs loss compared to other scenario but the loss is in black money, which you can't account for anyway. You actually gain 10 crs in white. 15 cr illegalA blackla sambAdichavanukku, 10 crores out of that becomes legal white money.Ofcourse, it will not stand scrutiny but then so wouldn't it if they are lying for pride anyway. So, the possibility of a producer claiming inflated profits could be for a very valid reason.

[Parthyy]

not included overseas collection..
thats only tamilnadu net 50C.as seems u too following radhika

(Oru padathula 50 kodi black convert pannaa kooda, 100 padathula 5000 cr black money dhaan convert panna mudiyum)CMP - no comments on Velayudham vs 7Am Arivu. I just mentioned why producers might want to lie.

[CSK]

So if 3 big movies released 120cr, if 4 big movies 160 cr and so on. Ennai kodumai logic ithu.

Let me take CBO For example, if we go by today's sify cbo report,



It depends on whether the movie runs houseful or not.

[vithagan]

It depends on whether the movie runs houseful or not.

Can you prove it??
Lets do a simple math.For example take the total number of seats in chennai (including all theaters) as 100,000. If the ticket price is Rs.10, total collection would be Rs.1,000,000.

If movie A releases and occupy the total seats(solo release) with houseful shows, max collection would be 1,000,000 rt?

If movie A and Movie B releases at the same time, they will be sharing the 1 million rt? instead of 1 million each as you are claiming.

Am I missing something? Please explain if you have a different theory. Just curious.

[raghavendran]

That too distributors share aka net collection.....Sivanna

Ayngaran International
Vijay starrer Velayudham has beaten Surya's prestigious 7aam Arivu at the Tamil Box Office (BO) in its first week. M.Rajah directorial movie has successfully managed to rock at the BO.
Trade reports say that Velayudham has managed to collect Rs.52.2 crore plus, whereas 7aam Arivu raked in Rs. 50.2 crore in the first week. Surya's movie had edge over Vijay starrer film because it hit the screens with 1200 prints worldwide. On the other end, Jayam Raja's movie, which was approximately released in 820 theatres, started attracting audience after getting thumbs up from the fans and good word-of-mouth from the viewers.
It is said that the state government's permission to increase the screenings during the 5-day weekend have helped the producers of both the films to large extent.

However, the collections of 7aam Arivu are expected to slow down, as the theatre owners are now planning to reduce the number of screenings thereby increasing Velayudham.
