Box Office Collections

[NOV]

Malaysia collection adhigama kammiya?

romba kammi... and as predicted by Mahen (who said it will sweep away all records) it didnt happen.

Why? Thats anybody's guess.
but some pertinent points.

1. My personal experience: it was fully booked on wed after pongal in mid-valley
2. It was fully packed on wed, thur, fri after CNY at IOI mall
3. But the movie was screened in the smallest halls with only abt 100+ seats.
4. Nanban did not open in many of the cineplexes that usually shows big movies, like Summit, CapSquare, etc.
5. Colliseum, the only stand alone cinema nearly seats 1000 ppl. There Nanban shared space with Vettai (2 shows each)
6. The greatest shock for me was for the premium 9.00pm show, Vettai is being screened.
7. Possibly, because of the low turnout, Vijay visited Malaysia a couple of days ago with wide publicity in TV and radio
8. The effect of above will be seen in remaining weeks.

As for Mankatha, it was a five day holiday period (Eid festival - 2 days, National day & weekend)
Comparatively Pongal is not a holilday here.


We can only go on guessing, but will never know the real reasons.
