Top 5 US box-office grossers in 2014

Dhanush's Velai Illa Pattathari (VIP) is breaking records with huge numbers. Dhanush himself tweeted that VIP is his biggest opening in his career of 25 movies.

At this juncture, we hear that VIP's 2 day collections have already put the movie in the fourth place in the list of Top 5 US Box-Office grossers for Tamil Movies in 2014. It is already profitable for the US distributors and exhibitors and is also likely to become the first Dhanush movie to cross the 100,000 USD mark in box-office gross in the US.

According to official sources, the numbers for the Top 5 US box-office grossers in 2014 are:

1 Kochadaiiyaan - 633K USD
2 Veeram - 243K USD
3 Jilla - 228K USD
4 VIP - 72K USD (in just 2 days)
5 Maan Karate - 72K USD

Dhanush's VIP falls short of Jilla and Veeram

Dhanush's 25th film, Velai Illa Pattathari, has emerged as a blockbuster and is running strongly in its 4th week too. The film is expected to hold on, till Anjaan releases on 15th and we have to see how many screens VIP is left with, after Anjaan.

The film is Dhanush's biggest hit in the USA too. Distributed by ATMUS Entertainment in the US, VIP has already grossed upwards of 225,000 USD and is expected to wrap its lifetime run at around 226,000 USD (close to 1.38 crores). VIP has been declared a blockbuster here too as the pre-release gross expectation from the film was just above 100,000 USD.

VIP's gross in the US is just short of Ajith's Veeram (243,955 USD) and Vijay's Jilla (230,221 USD), which released early this year.

The expectations from Dhanush's next release, the K.V.Anand directed Anegan, are huge, needless to say.

Remains to be seen if it can hold on to its momentum .....

Thanks to the promotion & buzz, 'Anjaan' has set a new record in the opening week collections by garnering more than 30 Crores in the first 3 days. No other movie in the past has achieved this feat in Tamil & Malayalam. The Surya - Samantha - Vidyut Jamwal starrer was opened to huge expectations for the Indepence day across all over the world in more than 1500 screens.

The film industry is amazed by the response so far, and expecting more to come. The movie is trimmed close to 6 mins owing to negative reviews in the social media & from critics. However, the Telugu version remains unchanged.

Dhanush's 'VIP' has bagged 50+ Crores in 25 days (nett) and 'Anjaan' has crossed 30 Crore mark within 3 days itself. Finally, the theatre owners/distributors got nothing to complain. Meanwhile, 'Jigarthanda' & 'Sathuranga Vettai' too declared as hits by the trade sources. It will be interesting to see whether Surya can pull off the magical 100+ crore for the first time in his career.

Bad wom may curtail its momentum.

Anjaan Box Office Collections: Earns Rs.38 Crores In Total In Opening Weekend

Despite getting negative reviews from critics and audience, the sole silver line that could make Anjaan producers happy is the fact that the movie has done roaring business at the Box Office. The Surya and Samantha starrer film has earned Rs.38 crores in total from Tamil and Telugu versions!
As per the trade reports, the combined collection of Tamil and Telugu versions is Rs.38 crores. While the Tamil film has earned Rs.30 crores, the Telugu version has earned Rs.8 crores. The first weekend has been really good for the Kollywood version due to rigorous promotional activities organised by the makers of the film.
This helped Anjaan to get such an opening. The Tamil movie has done good business in three key domestic circuits like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala. The film had opened up in 1500 screens in Tamil and Telugu and the wide release played a vital role in generating good revenues in most centres. It got grand reception in Malaysia, UK, US and a few other countries.
But the bad word-of-mouth might hit the movie badly and it is predicted that the business might see a huge dip in the week days starting from today.
