Box Office Collections

[BM]

Is 'Yennai Arindhaal' a profitable venture?
.Though, the film did rocking business in USA by collecting 400k$, the opening in UK and Australia is not up to the level of other biggies like Kaththi and I.

How generous to mention a $480K+ collected movie (in 5 days weekend) as $400K and compare it to a 6 days weekend movie.


-deleted with warning-



This is what US distributor says about the hurdles this movie faced in US and still made money for them.

ATMUS Entertainment @ATMUSent
This is winter release, non festival release and beat prev thala best by a mile.

With all this negative factors Yennai Arindhaal 5 days weekend collection including premier shows = $480432
Per day collection = $96086

The movie which he compares,

kathi 6 days weekend collection including premier shows = $570207
Per day collection = $95034

This is for US.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now for AUS,

Yennai Arindhaal's 4 days weekend collection = $153,680
Per day collection = $38,420

Kathi 5 days weekend collection = $160,979
Per day collection = $32,196

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Tamil Nadu,

Yennai Arindhaal's 4 days weekend gross = 32C
Per day gross = 8C

Kathi 5 days weekend gross = 36c
Per day gross = 7.2C

Now, deducting 1st days collection of both the films to know how well the respective movies held at box office from day 2,

Yennai arindhaal's 1st day (Thurs) TN gross = 11C.
So the remaining 3 days TN weekend gross = 32C - 11C = 21C
Per day gross from Fri, Sat and Sun = 7C (mixed word of mouth.. average grosser.. seriously.. you arsehole..)


Kathi's 1st day (Wed) TN gross = 12.5C.
So the remaining 4 days TN weekend gross = 36C - 12.5C = 23.5C
Per day gross from Thurs, Fri, Sat and Sun = 5.8C

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now Chennai,

Yennai Arindhaal's 4 day collection = Rs 2,92,55,762
Per day collection = Rs 73,13,941

Kathi 5 days collection = Rs 3,01,09,817
Per day collection = Rs 60,21,963

Now further shrinking the comparison by comparing only the weekend Chennai Box Office collection from Fri-Sun,

Yennai Arindhaal Fri,Sat,Sun had 486 shows and collected = Rs 2,17,95,337
Per show collection = Rs 44,846


Kathi Fri,Sat,Sun had 411 shows and collected = Rs 1,74,79,424
Per show collection = Rs 42,529

Still i did not bring the factors like Deepavali holidays, ARM or Worst possible weekday release while students and families are in exam preparation mode, out of form GVM whose genuine blockbuster was a decade back in the form of VV.

People can still say UK da. Kadaisi varai verum tiffin mattum than da ect.


Yennai Arindhaal won hands down especially in TN and CBO.
