Tamil Cinema Box Office

[ajaybaskar]

Not sure if Atlee film will be sold before the first day but I am sure the shooting will not be stalled because of insufficient funds. Thanu earned some good revenue because of his previous releases.

I know, Thanu earned a lot from Sachin...

Maatraan was loathed as a flop here. It has collected 90C overseas alone as per Eros. Does this mean the bar for a hit is 100c now? Then all the 100c films don't look odd if we go by that logic. I don't think KVA is bigger than Shankar

No, a lot of movies have been classified hits/superhits/blockbusters mainly on ROI. Movies that made 20c and costs were about 5c. If your movie cost 150c and you made 100c, then going by common wisdom, its a flop. So the criteria is primarily profitability. Then comes the collections .. movie in a 100c club need not be a hit. Going by what you said, Maatran lost money, so its a flop.

For sometime 'I' which is reported to have made 250c didnt break even.

Bill4u, you didn't get my point. Has 100c become the new benchmark for a "hit" movie for popular stars? I am not talking movies made at 1c collecting 50c or 100c. Those will be Mega blockbusters.

And if Maatraan lost money even after collecting 90c just in overseas, I wonder what amount it was sold

Selva,

this 100c/200c/300c crossing business is propagated by bollywood. Even Aamir Khan spoke against it last year .. It really pays no attention to ROI or profitability or movie's quality .. the bench mark you're talking about is more a status symbol for big stars - how much business they're capable of achieving. Linga crossed 100c yet is classified a flop but 'maintains Rajini's status symbol. I dont think he's too happy about its failure.

No idea about Maatran .. 90c just overseas seems a heck of a lot of money!

Bill - given that genuine box office records are missing in TFI, disclosing profitability is not going to happen ever.

what eezha sentiments did Aboorva Sagotharargal or Indian had? Kamal had a real good overseas market which made those and Tenali a very big success overseas. nothing like eezha sentiment

I can't remember how Indian did over here, and I am not sure how late 80's and early 90's film did over here as well, IIRC Indian films screening here were limited to "Odeon " Cinemas, and not all Odeon Cinemas screened Indian films, but since the introduction of "Cineworld Cinema" Indian movies were screened a lot more than in the 90's
