Thappana Vs Mr.Marumakan Battle At Box Office|Pepper Media

The Big Bonanza Onam releases, Dileep's MR MARUMAKAN and Mammootty's THAPPANA have taken above average openings over the weekend. Mr Marumakan released on 18 August 2012, a day ahead of Thappana. Early estimates hint that Mr Marumakan has grossed about 1.35 Crores from 2 days, releasing in 70 theaters, and Thappana also has done well, rak

ing in about 70 Lakhs onits opening day, from 77 theaters in Kerala. While the word of mouth for Mr Marumakan is predominantly negative, Thappana has managed a better public opinion,in fact the best for a Mammotty star in recent times, which may work in its favor in the long run.
The opening day figures are much lower than other recent releases like Spirit, Bachelor Party or Usthad Hotel. But it is perfectly justifiable as the releases took place towards the fag end of the Holy Ramzan period. The collections are expected to pick up significantly this week,as the holy season has come to an end, and the schools are about to close for Onam vacation.Both the films have just one open week in front to make use of, as Joshiy directed Mohanlal starrer RUN BABY RUN is due for a hugerelease in the forthcoming week.
At the moment, Mr Marumakan looks good for an opening week gross of 3.20 - 3.40 Crores, while Thappana might end the week slightly better. Though the weekdays have definitely belonged to the Mega Star'sfilm, the second week shall decisively prove the winner out of these two. Thappana shall cash-in its positive reports, but Mr Marumakan can never be written off due to the acceptability of Dileep amongst families.A fiery battle for Boxoffice supremacy is sure on the cards this week...!
