Kerala Box Office Update (26.1.23)
1. Pathaan - 1.94 Cr (Day 1 Kerala)
SRK's comeback after 4 years set a new record for a Bollywood movie in Kerala taking the highest opening day. Also, the theatres in Kerala saw a great rush for tickets for a Bollywood movie after years.If it can maintain the buzz, it can easily collect around 5 Cr from the first weekend which would be a great number considering Kerala isn't a big market for Hindi cinema.
RECORD OPENING
2. Malikappuram - 40.02 Cr (27 days)
It went past 40 Cr mark worldwide although it had to give up its top spot to Pathaan but the strong hold in weekdays continues and the Republic Day weekend will boost the business. All eyes will be on how the new releases perform and will it pose a challenge for Malikappuram or else it will get close to 50 Cr.
Kerala - 29.50 Cr
BLOCKBUSTER
3. Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam - 6.37 Cr (7 days)
It performed below expectations on weekdays despite the good word of mouth around the movie and now with Pathaan and other releases taking charge, it seems tough for Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam to cross 10 Cr.
Kerala - 4.17 Cr
AVERAGE
4. Varisu - 12.04 Cr (15 days Kerala)
It is almost nearing the end of run and it has fallen short off the breakeven mark by almost 1 Cr and follows Beast as another loss causing venture for Thalapathy Vijay at Kerala box office.
FLOP
5. Ayisha - 0.87 Cr (6 days)
It has completely fallen off on weekdays and gives another box office failure for Manju Warrier, creating huge doubts over her Lady Superstar status.
DISASTER
6. Avatar 2 - 39.89 Cr (41 days Kerala)
it continues in big multiplexes and slowly inches towards 40 Cr which it looks to achieve in the long run.
BLOCKBUSTER
7. Poovan - 0.45 Cr (6 days)
It completely failed to impress.
DISASTER
8. Thunivu - 4.43 Cr (15 days Kerala)
It has reached very close to the breakeven mark but has almost reached the end of run and wont become a clean hit.
FLOP
