I did not say that you have a problem with Nanban becoming a hit and I'm not here to oppose your opinion on things. I agree that people rejected all those reports saying it's not legit, which leads me to question what is the 'legitimate' source. Anyway, I'm happy that Nanban is doing so well. Collection ellam partha oru padumum pArka mudiyathu.

And for cbo total collection is concern, Mankatha and 7am arivu netted more than 9crs, means grossed over 10crs. Now its Vijay's turn.

Average stuff?. Theatre occupancy is still 95% during its second week. Collected 50 crore more than its competitor with 80 screens minimum.I can accept with more number of holidays but other film also getting good word of mouth and it's also a hit.
And i dont think taxes are subtracted from the collection amount before published.

Yes, Taxes are subtracted from the Collection amount AFAIK, and WOM is good, the Movie is a sure BB no doubt about that.

BTW it did not collect 50 Crores More, it is <50 Lakhs = 10% more than Mankatha, entertainment taxes are roughly 30% to 20%.

Amount coming in BW and Sify are NET (-15%, if movie has ET. Sridhar pillai confirmed this long back). When comparing with 1st week Velayutham gross, Nanban falls 5L short.

@Podas, after including 1st 2days collection from Sify (which was excluded in BW), 7am arivu and mankatha's final net collections were around 9.19cr and 9.22cr respectively. This discussion has been beaten to death. If you have any doubt, go back few pages or PM me.

http://www.moviecrow.com/News/615/mu...ers-for-nanban

With SHANGAR Factor

A number of questions have been asked about the Box Office Collection of Nanban - whether Nanban has beaten Enthiran? We looked at multiplex collections for 3 major territories which had a number of surprising observations. Nanban is far behind in terms of beating Enthiran even in A centers. But, it is performing in par with Mankatha and 7aum Arivu in Tamil Nadu.

Note: As we go through ignore the first partial week collections due to varying number of shows for each of the movies. Week 2 has the full week collection with almost exact number of shows for all the movies which makes the comparison fair and square.

A. Coimbatore
________________________________________
Nanban did marginally better than 7aum Arivu and Mankatha. Probably because of music release and a number of local starcast including Sathyan and Sathyaraj hailing from Coimbatore.

B. Chennai
________________________________________
Mankatha had collected 2 Lakhs more than Nanban in the multiplex center for almost exact number of shows. The trend is consistent across PVR and other A centers as well. Nanban performed in comparative terms as Mankatha and 7aum Arivu.

C. Bangalore
________________________________________
Nanban fared below average in Bangalore (slightly better than Velayudham). Multiplex managers attributed to two reasons -- 1. people who had watched 3 Idiots did not want to watch Nanban 2. Another big release Businessman attracted a lot of metro audience away from Nanban.

Conclusion
________________________________________
Overall, Nanban is making good collections in par with Mankatha and 7aum Arivu. There are no signs anywhere to show that the collections have touched Enthiran as claimed by people associated with the movie. All the recent movies took a huge nose-dive during the 3rd weekend. It will be interesting to see whether Nanban can sustain the collections as the family audience pour in.

MDsherin Can you confirm from Behindwoods that this is Gross collection? we are not frustrated, we both are trying to prove a point.

Also it is proved that Mankatha >> vela in terms of collections, you called it a solo release and now we call that shankar factor + satyaraj + jiiva +srigaanth = 50 L more than mankatha minus entertainment taxes which concludes Nanban<< Mankatha in terms of profits.

Then this Report is not making any sense. It has released in more number of scenes than velayudham. theatre occupancy is more.How come it falls 5L short.

mankatha collection eh yar partha, enaku 7aum arivu beat pana podhum..

You people(BM) may request to check the behindwoods top ten collection...you will clearly get an idea about collection whether it is gross or not

For eg: Take first week collection of velayutham and 7am arivu...the no.of shows are 498 & 494 resp and theatre occupancy is around 85 to 90 and still that both collected around 1.10 crore.So Definately the movie having 534 shows and 95% average theatre occupancy would have collected more than that(1.38 crores).....

Please use your logic and don't bluffer stupidity over here ....Please accept the fact that nanban is leading in the race as of now

Many times their (BW and Sify) reports don't make sense. Athuku thaan mudinja varai rendu report'ayum compare panni oru conclusion panrOm.

Dear brimmer the same question Iam asking to you ....can you show me a proof that bw showing net collection,and more over BM I'm not provacating ,I want you to wake up from your sleep that's all

I loved the Movie, but I still consider Mankatha's collection is yet to be broken, possible with the movie's extnded run and good WOM, but it is too early to declare.

I am stopping here, no more digs from me on this topic.

For bo reports, they will mention net amount alone. Sridhar pillai who updates cbo details for sify mentoned this during Mankatha. Since BW always trying to match cbo with Sify’s, it must be NET collection.

Good logical question, let me explain with your example.

7am arivu and Velayutham, one film got wide release and got 95% of the big screens in chennai, another film got all home theatre like screens. Still the later one was able to make equal/more than the former’s weekend collection. Height of Stupidity, height of manipulation isn't it. Surprisingly you din't get this logical doubt that time. May be you would have forgotten to question this stupidity Or Would have been busy with some homework. Fine, I don’t care.

So the moral is, Sometimes logic misses in reports, we need to live with the given numbers. If a person didn't question the logical error since it favours him, Needs to close all the holes if the same goes against him. Giving vacation to logic as per wish is not fair.

Ban statistics I say :evil: - inga ella fansum captain fanA maaRi padu bayangara statistics details pEsittrukkeenga :lol2:

You didn't get it. 50 kodiyo, 50 kodiyE oru latchamo - doesn't make a difference. Ipdi thalaivanukkaaga thudikkum idhayangal indha hubla mattum illai, veLilayum dhaanE irukku. Producers don't go into a movie thinking I want to get record collections - they want profit, big or small. With these kind of fans, profit is a good possibility, although it is clear flops outnumber hits for most of these "heroes". Surprisingly, that never seems to be a factor - every producer who goes in believes his film with this hero will not flop. Adhu oru pakkam irukkattum. If such naked fandom is not visible and noise not made like this, these heroes become like any other hero. This is their usp. Hit or flop, ivangalai nambi ticket edukka oru koottam irukku. If this koottam stops this kind of statistical fights, automaticA hype koRainju pOgum and their USP will be affected. Idhu dhaan sootchumam. IdhulaiyE neenga kai vechA epdi? Udane Rajini Kamal-na kooddadhu - avaingalukkum ipdi fans irukkaanga but they are far too talented to depend on these fans for survival. Infact, if Rajni hadn't got into his fans' trap(willingly, one must say), he would have done far better films.

perfect! vidunga, mobocracy is prevalent everywhere! oNNiyum paNNa mudiyaadhu :)
