Anegan is a new movie , so it is understandable. If anegan does not do that well, you'll see that YA will immediately take it back. You obviously have new movie from good director+seal able star combo which is bound to have some impact. the same would have happened even if it was I or Kaththi. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I do not think so it would have happened if YA was doing great. So it should be doing good or decently well is what I presume. That is why I also mentioned the tickets for Anegan are not getting filled up quickly.On the other hand I think that the U certificate for Anegan might have tilted the odds in it's favour as I think that the bigger screens are mostly allotted to films that have tax exemption in a scenario when 2 films are expected to do equally well.

I think otherwise. This is movie from KV and dhanush is good on his own. So this combination might attract new crowds. So chances of selling more tickets is higher. The same was not the case for Kaththi since people already knew how bad poojai was. There was obviously no other choice. If YA released 1 week after I, they both would have shared screens too. I hope you understand what I mean

Freedom,

I would agree to you if there is pressure for Anegan tickets. And there is absolutely none. You can try now and get it for any screen in Chennai. I just booked mine. I do not think 'I' would have shared screens with Anegan. In fact I believe Anegan would have never released in a week's time after 'I'. And speaking about non festival opening for YA. Then ideally it should be viewed by lesser people in the opening weekend compared to a festival release and that means more people will be catching up with the film in the second weekend. So I see no reason why YA should not be preferred for bigger screens in the second weekend.

Kind of agree but not 100%. We'll see how Anegan goes, my prediction is if it doesn't do that well, then YA will take it back. But I agree with you on the tax thingy.

IMO AMR clearly missed it by 1 week. they should have gone for release on Jan29th and it would have been ideal.

This could be the case in single screens. But in multiplexes they open bookings for a full week and they do not tamper with the schedule in between. And regaining the main screen in the 3rd week would be tough. But if that happens can be rest assured that the movie is indeed going great guns.

your agreement is valid if there are no subsequent biggie release. There was no huge competition for Kaththi until Lingaa came, which gave Kaththi a good 31/2 weeks.
