Now that both the Diwali releases, Vedalam and Thoongavanam have completed their first week run, we have been taking stock of how they have performed in the various release markets. Yesterday, we had reports on their TN box office performance and now, we look at how the two films fared in the USA, a leading market for Tamil films.
Vedalam took an early lead after the pre-release premiere shows but Thoongavanam soon caught up and has been distancing itself from the Ajith starrer steadily. After the first 6 days, Thoongavanam has reportedly grossed $424,570 (2.8 crores) & Vedalam has grossed $266,786 (1.75 crores).
Both the films are reportedly doing good in spite of competing with each other. This has been a good week cumulatively for Tamil films in the US, say sources.
