Boxoffice Review - 2012 Week 40 - Banking Hours and Manthrikan Opening Dull
RANK # 1 - TRIVANDRUM LODGE
Trivandrum Lodge remained the number one performer at the Kerala boxoffice in Week 40, with the total gross touching the 4 Crore mark this past week. Though the film is quite unpopular with the families, it has found tremendous appreciation amongst the youth, especially in the major centers.
GROSS : 4.05 Crores
VERDICT : ABOVE AVERAGE
RANK # 2 - MANTHRIKAN
Manthrikan failed to kick start at the major centers, with the family audience in the evening shows providing respite to the films collections. The collections are expected to be wiped out next week with the release of Ayalum Njanum Thammil, which bears the Lal Jose brand, which is quite popular with the families.
GROSS : 0.51 Crores
VERDICT : BELOW AVERAGE OPENING
RANK # 3 - BANKING HOURS 10 TO 4
Banking Hours 10 to 4 had a dull opening this past week at the boxoffice, with about 45 - 50% attendance on the weekends, which further dropped to 20% on the weekdays. The future looks brittle for this investigation thriller, as the word of mouth is not very encouraging. The film looks set for a 65 - 70 lacs first week and not much after that.
GROSS : 0.42 Crores
VERDICT : BELOW AVERAGE OPENING
RANK # 4 - HUSBANDS IN GOA
Husbands in Goa fell heavily in its third weekend, which shall now prevent the film from being declared a clean hit. The movie has done enough to recover costs and is a safe venture for UTV Motion Pictures, but has lost the battle to Trivandrum Lodge, two weekends in a row now.
GROSS : 4.35 Crores
VERDICT : AVERAGE
RANK # 5 - RUN BABBY RUN
Run Babby Run is finally losing some steam, the past one being its 6th weekend, The movie had grossed a whopping 14 Crores from 40 days of theatrical run from Kerala, and still continues in 20+ theaters across the state. The 4th Blockbuster of the year, behind, Ordinary, Mayamohini and Thattathin Marayathu.
GROSS : 14.00 Crores
VERDICT : BLOCKBUSTER
Note : Collections upto 07 Oct 2012 considered.
