Thattathin Marayathu and Usthad Hotel held up well during the past week, in Central and Southern zones of the State, and have cashed in the benefit of having no new releases. Thattathin Marayathu has become the Numero Uno movie of the year 2012, on the basis of profitablity. The film has gone on to gross a whopping 10.15 Crores from 29 Days, thus becoming the 3rd highest grosser of the year.
Run Baby Run brings the ultimate commercial combination of Mollywood to the table, Mohanlal + Joshiy + Big Budget. RBR had the potential to break all opening records, but for the congested release schedule during the August last week.
Friday is the Dark Horse for this Onam. This can be yet another new generation, small budget, hyperlink movie making its mark at the BO, starring Fahad Fazil and Ann Augustine, directed by Lijin Jose.
Usthad Hotel has taken its share of success over the past weeks. Though the collections took a hit due to the runaway success of Thattathin Marayathu, the movie has managed 8.41 Crores from 36 Days and still continues in 25+ theaters in its 6th week.
The trade now awaits the release of the Onam biggies for the year, and one can expect nothing short of fire works at the boxoffice during the festive season, as atleast 5 big films are awaiting release. It has been 3 years now, since Mollywood has had big Onam releases, as previously the Ramzan season has more or less overlapped with Onam, preventing the distributors to release the films during this period.
Mr Marumakan seems to be the best bet at the boxoffice, as Dileep is on a roll with Mass Comedies with the tremendous success of Mayamohini. The film is sure to take an earth shattering opening and it needs to be assumed that the families will flock in from the 2nd week, regardless of word of mouth.

Mammootty still continues his quest for an outright blockbuster through Johnny Antony directed Thappana. A huge opening is more or less ensured for the movie, and the golden question will be how much it can compete with the other biggies.
