Singham II grosses 6.70 Crores from Kerala - Boxoffice Update

Suriya's Singham II has raked in 6.70 Crores from 17 days at the Mollywood Boxoffice. The film earned a mammoth initial in the first weekend from 142 theatres, and grossed 4.90 from the opening week,but dropped to 62 theatres in its second week, which was more or less expected considering the high number of extra theatres, and the mixed word of mouth.

Singham II has fallen well short of the two-week gross of 7.35 Crores registered by Vijay's Thuppakki in late 2012. The life time gross of Thuppakki from Kerala stood at a whopping 10.70 Crores, and chances are low that Singham II would cross the 8 Crores mark considering the number of high profile releases for Ramzan, and shall end up a losing venture for its distributors in Kerala who had a huge premium for the film.

A large number of Singham II's theatres have already been taken over by Dhanush's Mariyan which is also expected to take a decent opening from 70+ theatres in the state. Honey Bee and ABCD also have managed to make comebacks at rural centers.
