The
Priest,
the
Mammootty
starrer
has
been
performing
exceptionally
well
at
the
box
office.
When
it
completed
the
first
three
days
of
its
release,
it
is
safe
to
say
that
The
Priest
has
revived
the
pandemic-hit
Malayalam
cinema
with
its
box
office
collections.
In
that
case,
the
Mammootty
starrer
will
earn
blockbuster
status
just
with
its
first
weekend
collections.
According
to
the
trade
experts,
The
Priest
has
made
a
total
gross
collection
of
approximately
Rs.
5
Crore
at
the
Kerala
box
office.
The
horror
thriller
has
made
a
gross
collection
that
exceeds
Rs.
2
Crore
on
its
second
day
alone,
thus
crossing
the
2-Crore
mark
in
two
consecutive
days.
A
detailed
box
office
collection
breakdown
of
The
Priest
is
expected
to
be
out
very
soon.
Coming
to
The
Priest
worldwide
box
office
collections,
the
Mammootty
starrer
had
crossed
the
4-Crore
mark
on
the
first
day
of
its
release.
While
considering
the
excellent
response
of
the
audiences,
the
Mammootty
starrer
will
easily
cross
the
prestigious
10-Crore
mark
at
the
worldwide
box
office,
with
its
gross
collection
after
the
first
weekend.
However,
now
with
The
Priest
performing
exceeding
well
at
the
box
office,
it
is
safe
to
say
that
the
Mammootty
starrer
has
singlehandedly
revived
the
pandemic-hit
Malayalam
cinema.
If
things
go
at
this
rate,
the
horror
thriller
has
all
chances
to
emerge
as
one
of
the
highest-grossing
films
in
its
leading
man
Mammootty's
acting
career.
The
Priest,
which
marked
the
directorial
debut
of
young
filmmaker
Jofin
T
Chacko,
features
Manju
Warrier,
Baby
Monica,
Nikhila
Vimal,
Saniya
Iyappan,
Ramesh
Pisharody,
and
so
on
in
the
other
key
roles.
The
horror
thriller
marked
the
first
onscreen
collaboration
of
Mammootty
and
Manju
Warrier.
