Liger had a poor opening weekend at the box office, collecting just Rs. 46 crores in its four days extended the first weekend. The Vijay Deverakonda starrer had a decent opening day, but due to negative audience reception, the film faced a big crash on its second day and then never really recovered over the weekend. The situation for the film was so bad that it was trailing behind Karthikeya 2 in Andhra Pradesh on Saturday and Sunday, which is in its third week. There will be another big crash today, the film will likely wrap up inside Rs. 50 crores in its first seven days. It won't be adding much from there on and will likely close under Rs. 60 crores for lifetime box office number.

Thursday - Rs. 19 crores
Friday - Rs. 9.75 crores
