GOAT box office collection day 2: ‘Thalapathy’ Vijay’s latest film, The Greatest of All Time (GOAT), witnessed a significant drop in its box office collections on day two. The film, which opened to a strong Rs 44 crore on Thursday, collected Rs 24.75 crore India nett in all languages, according to early estimates posted by industry tracker Sacnilk. The film’s India total stands at Rs 68.75 crore nett after two days.

On day one, the Tamil version of the film alone contributed to a staggering Rs 39 crore, but on day two, the Tamil collections dropped to Rs 22 crore. Meanwhile, in the Hindi language, the film dropped from Rs 1.85 crore to Rs 1.5 crore.

On the other hand, GOAT is doing extremely well in the overseas market. The film pulled in USD 3 million (Rs 25 crore) on Friday. According to Pinkvilla, the two-day total offshore stands at USD 8.60 million (Rs 72 crore). With an extended weekend, the film might become the highest-grossing Thalapathy Vijay film overseas after Leo. The film has collected Rs 155 crore worldwide in two days. It is expected to cross Rs 275 crore mark in its opening weekend.

On Friday, AGS Entertainment (the production and distribution company behind the film), announced that GOAT had earned Rs 126.32 crore globally on its opening day, which is considerably lower than the global opening day numbers of Vijay’s last venture, Leo. That film, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, earned Rs 148.5 crore on its opening day last year. GOAT is touted to be ‘Thalapathy’ Vijay’s penultimate film before he embarks on a career in politics.

Leo, made on a budget of Rs 225 crore, remains Vijay’s highest-grossing film, with a whopping Rs 618.5 crore collection worldwide. However, there are chances of GOAT surpassing the lifetime collection of Vijay’s other four highest-grossing films — Bigil (Rs 304 crore), Varisu (Rs 303 crore), Mersal (Rs 257 crore), and Sarkar (Rs 253 crore).
