Boxoffice Review - 2012 Week 35

RANK # 1 - RUN BABY RUN

Run Baby Run is indeed the Run'away' Onam Winner for 2012, and that too by a good distance. The film has held up remarkably well during the week days with less than 15% fall in collections from the first weekend.

Gross : 3.95 Crores (5 Days)

Verdict : Excellent Opening

RANK # 2 - THAPPANA

Thappana held up reasonably well in its second full week,with the third Sunday showing 10 - 15% growth from the second Sunday. It has registered marginally better collections than Mr Marumakan last week.The battle for Number II is live and kicking, This week, its Thappana.

Gross : 5.15 Crores (15 Days)

Verdict : Above Average

RANK # 3 - MR MARUMAKAN

Mr Marumakan has been hampered to an extent by smaller theaters in some of the major centers. Despite negative reviews, the film is lapped up happily by families. A bigger production cost means, a higher gross needed to break-even. Mr Marumakan also has cashed in well, during the weekend after Onam.

Gross : 5.50 Crores (16 Days)

Verdict : Average

RANK # 4 - THATTATHIN MARAYATHU

Thattathin Marayathu magic is still super strong in the cities during weekends. But not much can be expected from here on.

Gross : 12.25 Crores (59 Days)

Verdict : Blockbuster

RANK # 5 - FRIDAY

Despite managing to generate a favorable public opinion, Friday never kicked off at the Boxoffice. May be the release strategy could have been better, going by the fact that viewers normally prefer mass movies in the festive season.

Gross : 0.95 Crores

Verdict : Flop

COLLECTIONS FROM 27 AUG 2012 TO 02 SEP 2012 CONSIDERED FOR DETERMINING THE RANKINGS.
