Tamil Cinema Box Office

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

Any films with "Eezha Sentiments" will do well "overseas" , as the "Majority (85%) of Tamil population" , especially in USA/Canada and Europe are of "Eezha " diaspora , few more films which did well due to "Eezha sentiments " are the likes of KannathilE mutham ittal, 7am Arivu, and now MASSS, I am not sure how Captain Prabakaran did over sears (too young to understand these box office issues ), but I remember seeing loads of people standing outside the cinema to get the tickets (obviously these online booking did not exists that time ) even though the film had nothing to do with eezha struggle, the name it self made it a BB!

what eezha sentiments did Aboorva Sagotharargal or Indian had? Kamal had a real good overseas market which made those and Tenali a very big success overseas. nothing like eezha sentiment

I can't remember how Indian did over here, and I am not sure how late 80's and early 90's film did over here as well, IIRC Indian films screening here were limited to "Odeon " Cinemas, and not all Odeon Cinemas screened Indian films, but since the introduction of "Cineworld Cinema" Indian movies were screened a lot more than in the 90's

thenali title card had 'Ulaga Nayagan' for KH, i presume KSR had a crystal ball to predict it's box office success in overseas?

business means selling the movie, which happens b4 the release of movie!

Industry and media doesnt have the integrity to highlight Kamal's BO success and always portrays him for his performance and talent only. Same thing what MGR did on Sivaji, rajini and co, and media is doing on kamal. as simple as that.

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

And Naayagan his salary was 17 lakhs! not less than anybody, in 89 itself!

Even in overseas kamal films have slight less rate tickets than, say rajini. But he has done records despite that. These kinda statements, like less ticket rates, movie sold for less price etc makes no sense. rajni inspite of having bigger rate and sale has still given 2 biggest flops. industry's biggest. Shankar has proven without rajini, in AI(though i never will like that film) but rajini cleverly rode on shankar & co for 2 times. also the image ppl have that he will never experiment and will always do commercial films only, will help. he kind of retains family and kids/lady audience with help of all the needed forces. kamal kinda lost it many times but he still is able to give commercial success when he attempts for that

Not sure about other European countries or N.America, but the ticket price for all the films ( except 3D / VIP lounge) regardless of "Actors" are the same price in UK.

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.

even for latest massu movie i had paid 15 which is a norm for all recent blockbusters except for UV it was 11.. Most KH movies sell for regular ticket prices. anecdotal evidence does not a truth make. you don't make up stories based on what you hear. 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.
