kerala is one of the tiniest markets for tamil movies... A big budget/star movies have to perform well in TN, AP/NZ and overseas.... these areas constitute 80-90% of revenue.... For Rajini/kamal/shankar movies have to perform well in these areas otherwise it will be termed as flop/disaster.
I'm surprised to see I movie was stopped screening after second weekend in DC metro including Telugu version.
The movie is still running in the UAE though.
'I' has crossed the $1M mark in the US. Only Endiran and VR have done it so far .. But VR and Endhiran certainly ran for more than 2 weeks. Infact VR ran for 4 weeks in many locations. Not sure how 'I' managed that number in US. Didnt do well in AP/Telugu either but still emerged as 200c+ grosser. Surprising.Quote:

Are you sure it was only Endhiran and VR? Please do not compare Endhiran with other movies here.... With highest ticket price and no of shows per day and no of weeks? it was a dream run and went on collected more than 4M. I do not see any other movie has potential in near future to come close..... I do not want to compare a movie that just collected above 1 million with a movie that went on collected more than 4M...Quote:

balajee ... thanks for your posts man :thumbsup:
others are just coming here to defend their own stars and prove that I didn't do well in this and that area (why they don't just post in their own threads and leave this one alone ? don't know ... we have to ask them)
anyway, i am just coming here for ur updates these days, let's enjoy I's huge success :thumbsup:
cheers buddy
One Million is an index for performance in the US .. Even if Endhiran made 10M plus, it'll be in the list of movies that crossed $1M in US. Not really comparing collections here.Quote:

A top telugu star movie easily makes more than 1.5M.... Being released in both tamil and telugu, I did not make it big.... that's why.
For Telugu/Hindi 1M is not a yardstick. But only a handful of Tamil movies have breached the 1M mark. That has been only Kamal/Rajini so far. For a Vikram movie to have done it is a feat .. Maybe you overestimated what it could collect. Although released in record screens, the run seems to be short ( < 2 weeks) to achieve a bigger #. The other movies which did 1M+ have run more than double this.Quote:

Second, this wasn't family friendly as Enthiran was, so am not surprised it was taken off after first weekend. I just made the 1 mil mark, but no where will it touch Enthiran/VR level of collection. Graphics and China scenes aside, it's really a DVD watch for an ordinary output.
Lingaa was removed like I here. I am surprised how it collected 1m. I think if we assume same ticket price, it will be in the range of 500-600k. But Lingaa will be more than I for sure given the no of screens/shows compared to I

You missed his point. With all the record screens and the Tamil/Telugu release combined, 1M is not much for I .. And nobody is comparing this to Endhiran. As per a lot of media it has crossed 200C. If you know anything to the contrary, please post reference links.
Really shocked to see Ai still running in Dubai. Not many Tamil films reach the 4th week here. :clap:
yea heard the news about dubai 4th week ... some said "first south indian movie to reach 4th week"-nu ... athu unmai illa yaa ? :cry:Quote:

So, I am not surprised but only perplexed at total collections at 1m. If I assume both did well, Kochadayaan should be in the same range. That's why I asked why there is a huge gap. May be Kochadayaan wasn't priced like this. If I is touching Lingaa and is true, it means more people have watched it in relatively less screens.l at low price!!!Quote:

This was not the "status" for "anniyan" (Te). Neither was the case of "padayappA" (narashimma)!
Illiterate idiots like Singaravelan need to understand the change in "trend" when you release a movie in every theater around you!
