Box Office Collections

[Mr.GreyShirt]

There was a twitter update that Mankatha still holds record opening. BM posted sify report on the opening weekend collection. He quoted links from overseas collections. So, my earlier comment is based on the initial reports and opening. I did mention clearly that I have no problem with nanban becoming a hit given WOM it is generating and the logic behind the same Twitter ah reject panniyachu as a thala fan report. moviecrow rejected. Sify has given two diff reports on nanban 1 about weekend collection and other about opening. Ithellam vachu paartha subjective statement thaan ennodathu. Shankar kooda vanthu ivvalavu thaanah? Read it clearly.

Atha vittutu pona vaaram pesunvangala ippo pesa sollunna enna aartham. Pona vaaram thoongitta iruntheenga. that was a provocation and my reply is for that. Kambila pudichu nadakkura logic ellam thiruppi thiruppi Plum solli iruppaaru. Puriyalenna naan onnu seyya mudiyaathu

I did not say that you have a problem with Nanban becoming a hit and I'm not here to oppose your opinion on things. I agree that people rejected all those reports saying it's not legit, which leads me to question what is the 'legitimate' source. Anyway, I'm happy that Nanban is doing so well. Collection ellam partha oru padumum pArka mudiyathu.

Nanban has tax free advantage, 6 holidays out of first 11 days run and and shankar's value. Whereas movies like Mankatha, 7am arivu, Velayutham didn't have these many advantages. Having all this advantages (mainly tax benefit) and making 4.95cr is average stuff. Even Velayutham netted 4.36 crore in its 1st week, that made its gross to be around 5.01cr.

And for cbo total collection is concern, Mankatha and 7am arivu netted more than 9crs, means grossed over 10crs. Now its Vijay's turn.

4.95 almost 5, its a good stuff considering, its a vijay film & not super star's..mankatha 9c??

Average stuff?. Theatre occupancy is still 95% during its second week. Collected 50 crore more than its competitor with 80 screens minimum.I can accept with more number of holidays but other film also getting good word of mouth and it's also a hit.
And i dont think taxes are subtracted from the collection amount before published.

Billa 2 might become a superhit blockbuster OR can also become an average. But if it becomes a blockbuster, can you guys compare a film with Chakri vs Shankar (as you mentioned in your argument against solo release and Surya using established directors always). Even then if Billa 2 is lesser, I wouldn't worry. But Shankar kooda vanthaey 0.5 thaan extra naan, enna solla?

inga onnum solla vendam na, poi shankar kitta sollunga only 0.5 dhan diff nu...shankar vera itha therima vijay kuda innor direct padam pana pesitu irkuar ,once he completes his current project wth ags..

Yes, Taxes are subtracted from the Collection amount AFAIK, and WOM is good, the Movie is a sure BB no doubt about that.

BTW it did not collect 50 Crores More, it is <50 Lakhs = 10% more than Mankatha, entertainment taxes are roughly 30% to 20%.

[podaskie]

Read my previous posts. I wouldn't be surprised if it collects more money given the WOM that rarely happens for your movie.

our movie nu sollunga more apt ah irkum..

Amount coming in BW and Sify are NET (-15%, if movie has ET. Sridhar pillai confirmed this long back). When comparing with 1st week Velayutham gross, Nanban falls 5L short.

@Podas, after including 1st 2days collection from Sify (which was excluded in BW), 7am arivu and mankatha's final net collections were around 9.19cr and 9.22cr respectively. This discussion has been beaten to death. If you have any doubt, go back few pages or PM me.

With SHANGAR Factor

A number of questions have been asked about the Box Office Collection of Nanban - whether Nanban has beaten Enthiran? We looked at multiplex collections for 3 major territories which had a number of surprising observations. Nanban is far behind in terms of beating Enthiran even in A centers. But, it is performing in par with Mankatha and 7aum Arivu in Tamil Nadu.

Note: As we go through ignore the first partial week collections due to varying number of shows for each of the movies. Week 2 has the full week collection with almost exact number of shows for all the movies which makes the comparison fair and square.

A. Coimbatore
________________________________________
Nanban did marginally better than 7aum Arivu and Mankatha. Probably because of music release and a number of local starcast including Sathyan and Sathyaraj hailing from Coimbatore.

B. Chennai
________________________________________
Mankatha had collected 2 Lakhs more than Nanban in the multiplex center for almost exact number of shows. The trend is consistent across PVR and other A centers as well. Nanban performed in comparative terms as Mankatha and 7aum Arivu.

C. Bangalore
________________________________________
Nanban fared below average in Bangalore (slightly better than Velayudham). Multiplex managers attributed to two reasons -- 1. people who had watched 3 Idiots did not want to watch Nanban 2. Another big release Businessman attracted a lot of metro audience away from Nanban.

Conclusion
________________________________________
Overall, Nanban is making good collections in par with Mankatha and 7aum Arivu. There are no signs anywhere to show that the collections have touched Enthiran as claimed by people associated with the movie. All the recent movies took a huge nose-dive during the 3rd weekend. It will be interesting to see whether Nanban can sustain the collections as the family audience pour in.
