It has been four days since Pongal 2019 releases Petta (Rajinikanth) and Viswasam (Ajith) hit theater screens and the occupancy they have brought into movie screens seems to have delighted theater owners more than ever.
Earlier today, Nikhilesh Surya of Rohini Silver Screens tweeted that the first 4 days occupancy they witnessed is greater than what was seen for Baahubali 2 and that such a crowd was not witnessed for any movie in the last 30 years.
We witnessed the best four days in our almost 30 years history surpassing the first four days of #Baahubali2 with the two blockbusters #Viswasam and #Petta rocking the BO @RohiniSilverScr Looking at another grand festive Pongal week ahead 💥🔥

Movie theater owners are also in for a longer ride as Tamil Nadu will be seen celebrating Pongal between Tuesday and Thursday and more crowds are expected to throng the screens of Petta and Viswasam till the end of this week.
