GOAT Box Office Collection: Thalapathy Vijay’s Film Faces 43.75% Drop On Day 2

Thalapathy Vijay’s much-anticipated film The Greatest of All Time (GOAT) opened with impressive box office numbers but experienced a significant decline in earnings on its second day. The film, directed by Venkat Prabhu, grossed ₹44 crore on its opening day across all languages, showcasing its strong initial appeal. However, on Day 2, the film’s collection dropped by 43.75%, earning approximately ₹24.75 crore, bringing its total domestic earnings to ₹68.75 crore.

The Tamil version of GOAT was particularly successful on its first day, contributing ₹39 crore to the total. Unfortunately, this figure fell to ₹22 crore on the second day. The Hindi version saw a slight decrease from ₹1.85 crore to ₹1.5 crore, while the Telugu version faced a more substantial decline, dropping to ₹1.25 crore, which reflects a 50% decrease in earnings.

Despite the drop, the film’s opening day global gross was reported at ₹126.32 crore, marking a strong start. However, this figure is notably lower than Vijay’s previous release, Leo, which amassed ₹148.5 crore on its first day. GOAT is particularly significant as it marks Vijay’s first film following his announcement of a political career.

The film’s budget is estimated at ₹400 crore, making its performance crucial for its overall success. As the weekend approaches, industry experts are hopeful that positive word-of-mouth and regional holidays might boost ticket sales. The film’s overall occupancy rates varied, with Tamil Nadu showing a healthy 60.38% occupancy on Day 2, especially during evening shows, which reached 74.32%.

The ensemble cast of GOAT includes notable actors such as Prashanth, Prabhu Deva, and Mohan, among others. The film features Vijay in dual roles, adding to the intrigue and appeal. As the box office numbers settle, the next few days will be critical in determining whether GOAT can sustain its momentum and potentially surpass the lifetime earnings of Vijay’s earlier hits like Bigil and Varisu, which grossed ₹304 crore and ₹303 crore, respectively.

In conclusion, while GOAT experienced a notable drop in its second-day earnings, its strong opening and the potential for recovery over the weekend keep its box office prospects alive. The film’s ability to resonate with audiences in the coming days will be pivotal in achieving its financial goals and solidifying Thalapathy Vijay’s status in the industry.
