ஐ - Shankar + Vikram + Amy Jackson + ARR

[Adox]

Ok I leave it up to you....

The reason i was shocked to see I movie was taken after 2nd weekend is Shankar is a brand in his own league among Telugu audience... In DC metro, there are more Telugu people live than Tamil (easily 2 to 1 ratio)... The movie was released in record no of screens in US particularly for Telugu version....but shocking to see the movie just made above 1 million.... 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.
