Top opening day box office in Tamil Nadu; Valimai Second, All Time Record in Chengalpat & Coimbatore
In the story posted earlier today, we reported that Valimai is reporting numbers closer to the all-time record for opening day in the two biggest circuits of Tamil Nadu. As more numbers pour in, that is now confirmed. The number in Chengalpat is Rs. 8.50 crores approx while Rs. 5 crores approx in Coimbatore, both overtaking Sarkar Rs. 8 crores and Rs. 4.90 crores respectively. With that, the Tamil Nadu opening day now totals Rs. 28 crores approx, making it the second-biggest opening day in the state behind Sarkar (Rs. 32.84 crores).
The top ten highest opening days at Tamil Nadu box office are as follows:
The top ten is dominated by the three box office legends of Kollywood; Vijay, Ajith and Rajinikanth. Ajith had big openings in the list to his name, but a Rs. 20 crores plus day was missing. That was due to the fact that the only release he had after 2017 was a clash with another big film. With Valimai he now has not only Rs. 20 crores plus opener but almost close to Rs. 30 crores and with a holiday release probably that would have been done as well.
The capacity today is there for a Rs. 35 crores plus opening day in Tamil Nadu, in fact probably even closer to Rs. 40 crores if everything goes right for the right film. April 14 will see the release of two massively hyped films this year i.e. Beast and KGF Chapter Two. It is highly unlikely that we get a new opening benchmark from the two due to clash, but it will be interesting to see if the combined collections of two can go over Rs. 40 crores.
