Box Office Collections

Thats why I said at least for me. While comparing with Veeram, I have clearly mentioned as the second weekend. Pongal is not celebrated for 10 days. After 4 days, all the films are the same.

Ok. Sathyam is not an yardstick. Then which one is?

This discussion will go no where. Do you have stats for Veeram's second week's or are you pulling it out from somewhere? After 4 Days all films are the same- Nope depends on various factors - Movie's quality, Summer Vacations, Winter Break, other movie releases, Cricket matches, IPL a lot of influential factors.

Why only Satyam - why not consider all Multiplexes why not Maayajal where YA got more screen counts than Kaththi

Bimmer,

I guess MovieBuff and Ajay had already explained why it is Sathyam. Sathyam, for some of us here in Chennai including me, is the first-stop to catch our favourite movies. Most of the times we burn the midnight oil, just to see if we get lucky on day 1 @ sathyam, when SPI cinemas open their bookings. When Sathyam is gone, secondary options come in for day 1 FDFS. Even then, after FDFS, most of us make sure, we catch the movie @ sathyam at a later day.

So, some of us here, based on our personal experiences believe that Sathyam is the primary hub for Chennaites and it probably fills earlier than most screens here. That's our personal opinion and I think previous posts clearly mentioned it.

After 4 or 5 day first weekend, all movies whether it is a festival or a saturated release, would move out of the fan-phase and enter into a crucial phase where things like family crowd, WOM, repeat values, come into the picture. It is level playing ground from there although the eventual fortune, depends on a lot of factors. That is what Ajay meant.

Having followed the fortunes of Jilla (and Veeram, inevitably), I am also of the opine that things were a lot less Green than what it is now. My views, strictly.

But as you rightly say, this discussion will take us no where.

Very glad to know that Vijay fans are checking every Chennai screens to check how YA is doing, as I posted here earlier the movie is doing well at least in Chennai multiplexes.. if u want to know check yennaiarindhaal hashtag, there are screen shots haven been posted and good thing is u can come to know the timings of the screen shot taken.

I agree with you vithagan, the movie got Mixed WOM and another thing this it is been seen as a drama genre

Certainly that has nothing to do with your post,bro. I didnt read that first, TBH. I checked YA status late night only for spicinemas and it showed green except Sathyam like how it is showing now for tomorrow's shows. Why go to twitter when u can straightaway go to spicinemas.in to check status?

This ticket book status checking of each and every theatre, taking screenshots of it are not my agenda. But had to respond to the post from Freedom (#3778) and hence went and checked the booking status for today. Thats all

Vithagan - We are not offended. I could have collected more, But which movie was more profitable matters - You rope in Shankar, ARR, PCC - Take 2 Years to complete the movie, you lose weight, put on weight - Toil for the movie spend crores, Final result was an very average movie not upto Shankar's standards - But OMG we all felt the movie need to succeed for Vikram's effort.

You're right bimmer ... The movie 'I' for all the time (about 3 years), effort Vikram put in and the cost, ideally should have been a BB. For that to happen, it should have matched Endhiran collections. Thats a little far-fetched. Atleast hopefully it sees a profit and Vikram gets a break.

Good sensible arguments

Coming back to YA - The movie did not have any lagging moments - Please go to Twitter and check out the Negative Publicity by VJ fans - This reviewer itsprasanth - He visually looks drunk, He tweets between movies constantly and comes out and gives a review - Movie la croud illayam - is this a movie's drawback- Did KK, VV, VTV, have a star studded crew or always shot at a crowded location,

Agree with your views on "Ai", I'm not in the game of comparing BO numbers ( Ai or YA or Kathi).. My point is YA doesn't have enough substance to become a BB but you think otherwise which is totally fine. Second week collection report will give us the clear status so lets wait.

VJ fans negative publicity I partially agree, when I watched YA with one of vijay fan, he is so desparate to pull the movie down before even it started. Starting from Ajith's name appeared on the title he started with Ajith nilmai ippadi aagiduche yaarume whistle adikkalainnu.. even though there were some..from that point till interval he was always with the phone.. not sure he was updating the status in twitter Seriousa yosichen edhukku ivan padam paarka vandhaannu?? odanae vijay fanss sandaikku varadheenga.. just i'm talking about that particular guy..

Idhukke ippadi solliteenga? Unga frienda aachum twitter edho pannituu irundhaaru. Some Vijay fans work day and night to bring the movie down. Not sure what their grudge is against Ajith nor I'm sure why they feel so insecure. shown is an example below:
