almost full for weekday! doing great
Genesys is/was terrible - Rotten Tomatoes rarely goes wrong in its review/aggregate(s) for a given film - Spy was/is great!
The reason Genesys is doing 'well' is coz of past record and nostalgia from Terminator franchise fans..
Having said that its not appropriate to compare Papanasam or for that matter even Bahubali with many Hollywood films BO - the demographic profile matters - Arnie is popular all over the world - Indian stars are popular only in niche audiences speaking respective languages

Rajja, it is difficult for anyone to hide the performance in the coming week, For this weekend Spi cinemas has increased to 26 today(as of yesterday it was 23) because of the demand.. it may go up to 30 which no film got this year so far... still these idiots may downplay the collection :lol:Quote:

As oer their reports (which are now getting re-published by several other sites), Papanasam which is running so well, especially in TN, Malaysia and SG has grossed just half of Kaaki Chattai and is in position 47, next to Poda Podi! And these guys say it is the total gross from 68 locations in Malaysia which is unbelievable.Quote:

Director Jeethu Joseph discusses his well-reviewed film.
http://www.rediff.com/movies/report/...l/20150715.htm
Malayalam filmmaker Jeethu Joseph's latest film Papanasam, starring Kamal Haasan, is getting rave reviews.
The film is the Tamil version of Mohanlal's Malayalam blockbuster Drishyam, directed by Jeethu himself. In an exclusive interview with Rediff.com contributor Vijay George, the ace director talks about Papanasam and his forthcoming projects.
How is the reaction to Papanasam?
I am feeling very happy. If you ask me if such reviews were expected, I would say since there is a cultural difference, we were curious about how the viewers would react. But the original had a fabulous run in Malayalam and receiving such a response from the Tamil audience is so exciting.
There are reports that Papanasam was rejected by Rajnikanth, before Kamal Haasan agreed to do it.
Not exactly. During the initial discussions, the producers asked about my favourite choices to play the lead in Tamil. I thought either Rajni sir or Kamal sir should do it. Both of them saw Drishyam. Rajni sir liked it but he was not sure about how his fans would accept certain scenes, if he were to do it. Like the scene where he is beaten up by a cop. Meanwhile, Kamal sir loved the film and agreed to do it. Later, Rajni sir was willing to take it up but by then, the project was already on with Kamal sir. We conveyed it to Rajni sir and he was fine with it.
You made the film in Malayalam and Tamil. Was the second experience any different?
I couldn't add more to the original beyond a point and obviously, the fun of creating something new was missing.The main area of difference was the characterisation of Kamal Haasan. When Swayambhulingam was created, his mannerisms and behavior was given a different dimension. Whenever such a change was made, I felt interested.
There have been obvious comparisons made between the acting styles of Kamal Haasan and Mohanlal. Did you discuss them while venturing into this project?
Even during our initial discussions, Kamal sir said his greatest challenge was that a terrific actor like Mohanlal did the original. He had to look different, without the core of the subject being changed. He asked me what kind of person Georgekutty (Mohanlal's character in Drishyam) is. I told him that he is bold and even when he is scared, Georgekutty won't show it. Kamal sir's character Swayambhulingam has been presented as a normal guy, who is not that bold. We have also worked on the mannerisms and style.
You have directed the Malayalam and Tamil versions of Drishyam. What is your opinion about the Telugu and Kannada versions, which were directed by other filmmakers?
I have not seen the Kannada and Telugu versions yet.
What is your reaction to the trailer of Hindi version, starring Ajay Devgn?
I loved the trailer and it has been presented in a really different way, revealing more about the story than what I did in the Malayalam or Tamil versions. I am looking forward to watching it.
The pirated copies of Papanasam have created a crisis of sorts. What is your take on the issue of piracy?
It is so sad. Even if we forget the efforts put in by the artistes and technicians, what about the investment made by the producer? There should be strict measures against this menace.
You have also completed Life of Josootty, with Dileep in the lead. What is the film about?
It's the life of a person from 10 to 40 years. It's a simple tale, with no real twists or suspense.
What next?
I am in the process of completing the script for my next film, with Prithviraj. It's an action film. I have also announced another film with Kavya Madhavan in the lead. There are also a few offers from Tamil.

#Papanasam still running to packed houses in spite of #Maari and #Baahubali in its 3rd week in Singapore!
Kolly News @ImKollyNews
#Papanasam Is Super Hit
#Bahubali Is Blockbuster
Both Doing Well In TN , So New Releases May Suffer For Good Occupancy
if Singapore is running that well, the scene shud be no different in malaysia too, i guess!
Please do not EVER, EVER lump Malaysia with SingaporeQuote:

Nov AnnE,
Any idea on how many theaters Papanasam will continue for this weekend..
Will be greatly reduced, because of Eid festival tomorrow. More halls for compulsory screenings of Malay movies.
Also Maari will open big.

Prime media is not continuing Papanasam shows in Texas after today - I dont know about other areas in NA
Checked Malaysia Status for tomorrow
Papanasam - 25 cinemas
Maari - 41 cinemas (many cinemas showing in more than one screen)
Bahubali - 56 cinemas
Bajrangi Bhaijaan - 8 cinemas :rotfl:
Three shows for today and shows for tomorrow are not listed @nc. Most likely not. But in general collections for Papanasam in the US are sucking wind .. very disappointing for a Kamal strong hold. UV made about 700k - although less than a million, its still good considering that its a ave-below ave overall. What happened to our makkal .. dont want to watch a great movie or what !?Quote:

forget the 700K value - lets see how much did PN make in terms of returns vs actual investment vs amount for which it was sold - that margin will tell the tale
Well, wrt. to ROI, PN is far ahead despite the rejection of tax exemption. Not the case for UV which barely broke even. I dont think we'll hear the actuals on PN as they'd want to shield their income from further taxation. But a super-hit nonetheless.Quote:

I had the very satisfying experience of watching 4-5 kiddos (in their 20s) getting kicked out of a hall for constantly chatting while the movie was on - much to the annoyance of others in the hall!
Thank U Ji ! Felt like seeing Indian & Saw it :) :) Dumbstruck is One Word to Sum Up :bow: NOSTALGIC... Have kept film in Mobile to see Fav Scenes !Quote:
