On day two, the box office collections for ‘Thalapathy’ Vijay’s latest action-thriller, GOAT (The Greatest of All Time), saw a considerable decline. After an impressive opening of Rs 44 crore on Thursday, the film experienced a 43% drop in earnings.
On its second day, GOAT collected Rs 24.75 crore nett across all languages in India, bringing the total India collection to Rs 68.75 crore after two days, according to early estimates by industry tracker Sacnilk.
The Tamil version, which had contributed Rs 39 crore on day one, saw its collections drop to Rs 22 crore on day two. The Hindi version also dropped from Rs 1.85 crore to Rs 1.5 crore, and the Telugu version witnessed a 50% decline, collecting Rs 1.5 crore compared to Rs 3 crore on its opening day.
However, GOAT is performing exceptionally well in international markets, bringing in USD 3 million (Rs 25 crore) on Friday. With a total overseas collection of USD 8.60 million (Rs 72 crore) in just two days, the film is on track to become Vijay’s highest-grossing film abroad, after Leo. The worldwide box office total for GOAT currently stands at Rs 155 crore, and it is expected to surpass the Rs 275 crore mark by the end of its opening weekend.
AGS Entertainment, the film’s production and distribution company, announced on Friday that GOAT earned Rs 126.32 crore globally on its first day. While this figure is lower than Vijay’s previous film Leo, which grossed Rs 148.5 crore on its opening day, GOAT is still poised for strong box office performance.
Leo remains Vijay’s highest-grossing film, having collected Rs 618.5 crore worldwide, but GOAT is on pace to potentially surpass the lifetime collections of some of his other successful films, including Bigil (Rs 304 crore), Varisu (Rs 303 crore), Mersal (Rs 257 crore), and Sarkar (Rs 253 crore).
The Tamil version of GOAT saw over 3,000 shows across India, with 1,024 shows in Chennai alone. It also had a significant presence in other cities, including 788 shows in Bengaluru, 104 in Mumbai, and 69 in the Delhi-NCR region. In total, the film had over 4,500 screenings across all languages, but the overall occupancy rates varied. The Tamil version had an occupancy of 60.38%, with higher attendance during night shows. In contrast, the Hindi version saw a 12.43% occupancy rate, while the Telugu version recorded 19.53%.
