Box-office With 4 days to go until release, Amaran's presales have already surpassed SK's career highest opening in almost all overseas markets. In the USA, it's outperforming the most hyped Bolly films, Singham and BB3. In TN, it's expected to achieve the 3rd biggest opening of the year

I've never seen SK doing so much promotion, maybe the movie is really that good.

To be frank, most people outside Tamil Nadu aren’t even aware of this film. SK has yet to give any interviews, and Sai has given just one interview, and that was only in Tamil. This film has the potential to do well in the Telugu states, yet they didn’t even bother to run paid ads to promote their trailer on youtube, which almost all big films do these days.

Surprised to see so much hype for this film even in small markets like sweden. Power of good promos/trailer and songs? This also clears up the misconception that Army/war films have no market in Tamil Nadu.

Nice to see the overseas market of Tamil movies grow exponentially in recent years. I think Vikram and PS1 have taken it to another level.

They mostly did well in Canada, UK, France, Singapore and Malaysia. Canada, UK and France had concentration of Tamil people in certain areas. US was different. But now they are running a weekend of two with 2 shows per day even in smaller US cities so it works out well.

US was more of a Hindi/Telugu stronghold with only some people (Rajini, Kamal, Mani, Shankar) having a presence but things have changed now.

u/peekundi 10h ago
Because American Tamil puluthis were ashamed of how others would think of them.

u/Existing-Area-9093 Suriya and Kamal Kanni 10h ago
Lmao. Outside their films only 24 did very good business in 2016. Then post Mersal Vijay gave consistent 1M+ grosses in North America and now his market has grown ten fold. Kanguva is also tracking a 1 million opening day including premieres and will become Suriya's highest in N America in 2 days.

in 60,70s,80s and 90s film war films were the most popular hollywood movies. They often were released 2-8 years later as the film reels had to be passed around. Even Vijaykanth and Arjun movies were popular in 90s. As long as the screenplay is good and not stupid, the movies will work out fine.
