The final tally of Tamil releases for 2011 stood at 133 releases.
It is 16 short of 2010’s record 149 releases. If you take the number of dubbed films into consideration it may touch 185 to 190.
There are about 50 to 60 dubbed films from other languages- English, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi.
Out of these 133 releases there are two blockbusters, three super hits four hits and three films that may break even. That means the films which have been profitable are a measly 7 %.
Theatrical collections have come down after the introduction of 30 % entertainment taxes.
Today the scenario is frightening that out of every Re 1 collected at the box-office, 30 paisa goes for taxes, 35 paisa for exhibitors, 5 paisa as distributor’s commission and only 30 paisa goes back to the producers.
Films which have been profitable from Indian domestic theatrical collections alone are Mankatha, Ko and Kanchana. Another seven may be profitable if you take into consideration their audio, overseas, Home video and television rights
