    what fairly took me by surprise is how Careless Ayngaran are in UK market if they are the distributors/investors. even in US, I atleast know 7 family friends of mine who didn't go to watch in theatres because Hd print was available and say wat? they all liked the movie. Piracy killed the movie pretty big in US (no comments about UK), otherwise the numbers would have been close because the movie had +ve WOM.

    I have only couple of things to point out.

    1.Both YA and Kaththi had full capacity crowds on opening 3 or 4 days. If YA released in more screens(520), then how come their collections can be of similar range? Unless Kaththi recorded 100% on all screens and YA recorded 85-90%, they both cannot be equal. I know for a fact that YA was packed for 1st 4 days, so that throws some questionable collection details from BW or Sify. I just smell something fishy with the numbers reported. My guess is Ajith doesn't give any mileage to those websites and they don't pay back, so it is a simple math.

    2.People comparing 5th day collection of Kaththi in India Vs YA are completely hopeless. It was a extended diwali weekend and people are bound to visit theatres while 5th day for YA was actual working day(Monday). So before thumping your chest just think for a moment before you do so.

    3. For most part IMO collections are comparable. UK, we know the story ... you play HD print in local cable channel and it is bound to affect collections drastically. But I'm not going to debate that VJ has higher presence in UK and definitely in Kerala.

    4. In US, Atmus reported 480K, But we also have this website(US based) which shows cummulative figure of $590K (I guess it takes into account Atmus + other distributors).http://moviecitynews.com/2015/02/the...nd-report-124/

    See under Cummulative and read the numbers standing 0.59 mil.



    to call YA flop or average is atrocious IMO. BTW nobody knows what transpired for Kaththi after 5th day and suddenly it became 100C in 12th day which took even Jalra pillai by surprise.
    In Florida, Sunday evening there was about 25 People which was not bad, My friend was the one who screened the movie and he has made a sizable profit. some folks claim that the movie is a disaster - Truth is for a non festive Thursday release, the collections are awesome. and some folks who claim Kaththi released in October in Winter - It is still winter here in US for most of February and is colder than October.

For Kaththi, they reported for 30 odd screens whereas the screen counts were much much higher. Same for YA too. For movies like 7A and Velayudham, they didn't report at all. It doesn't mean they didn't release in Malaysia
    there is nothing to act as how can assume rentrak give correct info from certain screens only? who gave that data? GSC cinemas? TGV cinemas ? LFS cinemas ? CHATAY cinemas?

    Freedom,

    Good points, buddy.

    Regarding the 4th one, here is what ATMUS, the distributors of YA, had to say about Movie cine news

    Media Friends, moviecitynews website do not publish actual numbers. Those are estimates only and do not spread that as US BO numbers.

    Bimmer, I don't think anyone claimed or called YA as a disaster here...at least for US. Infact SMK (who is a Vijay fan) contributed with his 4 friends and bought YA for his area. He also wrote in YA thread that they made 20% profit.

    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.
