Except Hindi belt , Master is a HIT

 

After 6 days ( Monday Jan 18) gross collections in Tamil Nadu stood at Rs 79.80 cr. Theatrical rights sold at Rs 62.5 cr. After rentals, taxes the distributors would comfortably make their profits. TN collection was Rs 7.10 cr on Day 6. Total collections in Chennai for 6 days was Rs 6.10 cr with 0.67 cr on day 6. Multiplexes stuck to the occupancy rate  with 510 shows a day with average of 81.25% occupancy Coimbatore was the next highest with 132 shows and 86.75% occupancy average. Madurai with 71 shows and Trichy with 50 shows per day were those with high occupancy averages.

In small towns and cities of TN, Salem with 30 shows a day had 91.50% occupancy rate, Vellore with 40 shows a day had 82.50 % occupancy. Dindigul in Tamilnadu with just 8 shows a day had the distinction of all shows being full for 6 days. Puducherry with 32 shows a day registered a 99.75% occupancy. Across all centers in Tamil Nadu, evening shows clocked an average of 90% occupancy followed by night shows.

In Kerala, the total gross collection after 6 days was Rs 7.70 cr. It was sold for Rs 4.3 cr. The highest collection points were Thiruvanthapuram with 108 shows a day clocked only 67.50% overall occupancy while Kochi with 84 shows had only 41% occupancy and the morning and night shows having less patronage.

Andhra / TS region sold for Rs 8.5 cr had gross collection of  Rs 12.20 cr gross in 6 day. This was achieved with Ravi Teja Krack going full houses when Master arrived and coming behind was Ram’s RED. Nizam and CEDED areas contributed 50% of the collection.

Karnataka area distributor got a whooping profit as bought for Rs 5.5 cr the film gross collection stood at Rs 11.30 cr. Bengaluru screened 482 shows a day and they were Tamil prints. The response to Kannada dubbing was poor and those theaters collected a measly 0.37 cr. In contrast Telugu dubbed prints did a business of Rs 10.22 cr ( it includes overseas and within India). Similarly Tamil straight prints did a total of Rs 109. 98 cr  out of which Rs 79.80 cr was got from TN theaters.

Hindi market took a beating  as Master was dubbed and released like a Hindi film by B4U. The major release in North India for a Vijay film was Puli which had Sreedevi in it.  Master was bought for Rs 6 cr and after 6 days, the gross stands at Rs 2.05 cr and most metros had only 8% occupancy for 230 shows in Mumbai and 245 shows in Delhi. A decent occupancy average was in Kolkata with 170 shows a day and a 17.50 % overall occupancy. Lowest was in Chandigarh with 5% occupancy. The surprise is that Master’s Hindi remake rights has been bought for Rs 10 cr even after the film having miserably rejected by Hindi audience is something one cannot fathom. One of the buyers is the person who bought Arjun Reddy and remade it as Kabir Singh , which was a hit. The buyers one of whom is Endemol Shine, producers of Bigg Boss show in the South had seen the film before release in Hyderabad and agreed to buy. If the film’s Hindi dubbed version had been a hit, then what will  the buyers do?. Remake the dubbed Hindi film which is a hit ?.

Overseas collection is the best with Rs 34 cr approximate for 6 days. The rights was sold for Rs 15 cr.
