do you realize no matter how much the ticket price is for the first weekend when reporting to box office, they only show the actual ticket price for tax purposes but not the price they sold for? if you are actually counting 25$ full weekend price for endhiran/sivaji etc, it could easily touch say PK's collection in US.Quote:

The so called flop Lingaa collected 3 times more than your above average UV (without considering inflated ticket price), do the math to find how much it actually could have collected.
less ticket price then Mass... and UV overall collection higher then MASS.. ok got it!Quote:

neenga naan sonnatha purinchikave illannu nenaikiren.. for BO they only consider standard ticket prices not inflated ones. it could be true UV collected more than MASS means it sold more tickets at the counter than MASS.. (not necassarily the actual money to distributors)Quote:

I do not think the Eelam diaspora have the kind of impact on the box office like the Indians who migrated due to the IT revolution from the beginning of 2000 do. The Indians who came in after 2000 had the purchasing power and more importantly believe in entertainment mainly shopping, eating out and cinema. It is only after the arrival of the South Indians to London from 2000 onwards things changed in the 3 areas mentioned. You would have noticed how things changed over the last 16 years if you happen to live in London.I think it is the same in USA. The box office figures in UK, USA,Malaysia and lately Australia are mostly decided by the South Indians living in these areas.Quote:

(In a way it was similar to Aboorva Sagothargal's run in KL in 1989; a trendsetter). The large scale migration from South India from 2000 changed things. The box office numbers of Sivaji and Dasa in the overseas market in 2007 and 2008 were largely due to this migration.
