Ajith's "Arrambam" is doing fantastic business in overseas markets.
The action-packed
entertainer has turned out to be the fifth highest grosser of all Tamil films
in the US. According to Behindwoods, "Arrambam" grossed $369,150,
approximately ₹2.3
crore (as of 9th November), at the US box office.
The film has surpassed
the collections of Vijay's "Thuppakki" and "Thalaivaa" and
Suriya's "Singam 2". Only four films including "Endhiran"
(Robot - $1.6 Million ), "Vishwaroopam" ( $1 Million),
"Sivaji" ($600,000) and "Dasavatharam" ($500,000) are ahead
of "Arrambam" in collections.
The Ajith starrer has
been received well in other overseas markets including UK, Australia, Singapore
and Malaysia. Particularly in Malaysia, "Arrambam" has done great
business as against new releases in Tamil and other languages. The country is
one of the key markets for Tamil films and most of the films that have big
stars perform well at the box office.
"Arrambam"
has collected $788,469 (close to ₹5 crore) in its opening weekend (October
31 to November 3) at the Malaysian box office. The film opened at the second
spot next to "Thor: The Dark World" in the country.
Karthi's "All in
All Azhaguraja" was in the third spot, while Hrithik Roshan's "Krrish
3" was in the ninth position. "Arrambam" has reportedly
continued to stay in the top 5 list of films at the Malaysian box office in its
second weekend as well. However, details about the film's second weekend
collections are yet to be available.
The film is also
performing well in Tamil Nadu and other Indian states. "Arrambam"
rules the Chennai box office reportedly earning around ₹8 crore. The business
of "Arrambam" is steady in Karnataka, while other Tamil releases have
failed to create an impact.
The film's overall
collections are pegged at over ₹53
crore. With the increase in the film's screen count, the mass entertainer is
likely to cross the ₹100
crore mark soon.
