leo, jokes apart.. Adhavan mokka padam-paa .. even songs kooda hit aavala ..
yes true..horrible movie....never expected such a movie from KSR....but Surya does have good fan base abroad...this is my guess purely my opinion...
did VA come before Aadhavan?
Mankatha's ROI is much higher considering its budget $6-7 million ...
for the information... 7 aam arivu's budget is $19 million....
no siva 7sense budget 50C +not more than that.
M -30C+
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...
even big hindi movies scores les than flop smal tamil movie in malaysia considering the tamils there
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..
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.
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.
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:)
looking at the figures again, yeah i agree with you..chances of matching Sivaji is quite tough..i predict 1.5-2.0mil
enna anban kuttiya potta poonai maadhiri indha pakkamae sutthittu irukkaaru??? :roll:
Better not to speculate, and wait for the results....
ithu speculation illai..this is called hypothesis :lol2:

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
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...
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.
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
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..
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...
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.
