The
Priest,
the
Mammootty
starring
horror
thriller
is
performing
exceptionally
well
at
the
box
office
and
has
already
earned
blockbuster
status.
When
it
completed
the
first
weekend
(4
days)
at
the
worldwide
box
office,
The
Priest
has
crossed
the
prestigious
10-Crore
mark.
While
considering
the
fact
that
the
Kerala
theatres
have
a
50
percent
occupancy
policy,
the
Mammootty
starrer
has
unarguably
exceeded
expectations.
According
to
the
latest
reports
from
the
trade
experts,
The
Priest
had
made
a
total
gross
collection
of
over
Rs.
7
Crores
at
the
worldwide
box
office,
within
the
first
3
days
of
release.
On
the
4th
day
alone,
the
Mammootty
starrer
made
a
gross
collection
of
over
Rs.
3
Crore.
Thus,
the
movie
crossed
the
prestigious
10-Crore
mark
with
its
first
weekend
box
office
collections.
The
trade
experts
suggest
that
The
Priest
has
made
over
Rs.
15
Lakh
from
the
Aries
Plex
theatre,
Trivandrum
alone
with
it
completed
the
first
weekend.
It
is
one
of
the
biggest
collections
made
by
a
Malayalam
film
so
far,
from
a
single
theatre
complex.
A
detailed
box
office
collection
break
down
on
the
Mammootty
starrer
is
expected
to
be
out
very
soon.
The
Priest
had
made
a
tremendous
opening
at
the
box
office
on
its
release
day,
by
making
a
total
gross
collection
of
Rs.
2.2
Crore
on
Day
1.
Thus,
the
Mammootty
starrer
beat
Master,
the
Thalapathy
Vijay
starrer
which
is
in
the
second
position
by
making
a
gross
collection
of
Rs.
2.17
Crore
on
its
first
day
at
the
Kerala
box
office.
The
Jofin
T
Chacko
directorial,
which
features
Manju
Warrier,
Baby
Monica,
Nikhila
Vimal,
and
Saniya
Iyappan
in
the
other
key
roles,
is
all
performing
brilliantly
in
the
overseas
releasing
centers,
especially
the
UAE-GCC
areas.
If
things
follow
at
the
same
rate,
The
Priest
will
definitely
emerge
as
one
of
the
biggest
blockbusters
of
Mammootty's
career.
