Chennai Box-Office: December 13 - 15

Another below-average week at the CBO, as footfalls are down. Once again an OLF (other language films) has dominated, the box-office, with Jumanji: The Next Level grossing Rs 90 lakhs in three days.

The surprise showing of Telugu film Venky Mama has made it to the number two position. And at number three is the Hindi film Mardaani 2, which had a decent opening in multiplexes.

At number four is the Tamil new release Kaalidas, which has got good reviews but limited screens. In the fifth position is last week’s Iruttu, which can now be termed as an average grosser.
