Worldwide Box Office: Tamil Movies With Best Openings in 2015

Undeniably, we are living in a time which witnesses the release of a Tamil movie almost every week. This never seen before frequency has redefined the way we look at box office collections, making the term 'weekend opening' ever so important.

2015 was no different as many big budget flicks relied heavily on its respective opening, which subsequently played an important role in deciding the film's box office fate.

Also, one prominent factor that helps these movies mint money in just 3-4 days is their overseas screenings. Kollywood movies are crossing the boundaries like never before and hence their overseas weekend collections has to be taken into consideration.

Speaking about box office performances of Tamil movies in foreign nations, Vikram's I stands tall this year as the revenge drama minted 30 Crore rupees from its 5 day opening weekend (overseas alone).

Thala Ajith's Yennai Arindhaal stands second in this particular list as the movie managed to collect 19 Crore rupees from all foreign nations combined. Yennai Arindhaal though had a 4 day opening weekend.

Ilayathalapathy Vijay's Puli has amassed 16.5 Crore rupees (approx) from the overseas box office. This too cashed in on its 4 day opening weekend.

When we take into account the worldwide gross (opening weekend), there are no changes in the standings as I, Yennai Arindhaal and Puli take the first three positions for best Tamil openers in 2015.
