In a remarkable display of resilience after the holiday period, the movie ‘Jailer’ showcased its robust grip on the box office. On the seventh day of its release, the film amassed an impressive sum of almost 20 crores in India, elevating its total domestic earnings to around 254 crores. Notably, the seven-day box office gross of ‘Jailer’ secures the second-highest position in the history of Tamil cinema, closely trailing behind Rajinikanth’s magnum opus ‘2.0’, which garnered a substantial 345 crores within the same timeframe.
As the film concludes its extended eight-day week, industry insiders anticipate a closing figure of approximately 270 crores.
On the international front, ‘Jailer’ garnered an additional USD 17.75 million (roughly 147 crores), contributing to its worldwide cumulative total of over 400 crores. The movie’s achievement of crossing the 400 crore mark cements its position as only the fourth Kollywood film to attain such an accomplishment, following the footsteps of ‘2.0’, ‘PS1’, and ‘Vikram’.
Breaking down the box office collections of ‘Jailer’ within India, the numbers stand as follows:
- Thursday: 50.50 crores
- Friday: 28.50 crores
- Saturday: 38 crores
- Sunday: 45.50 crores
- Monday: 30.50 crores
- Tuesday: 41.50 crores
- Wednesday: 19.50 crores
Total: 254 crores
In Tamil Nadu alone, the film reaped 8.50 crores on the preceding day, amassing a cumulative sum of nearly 117.50 crores. Although the seven-day figures here stand as the second-highest ever, ‘Ponniyin Selvan 1’ clinches the top spot with an impressive 125.50 crores. Wednesday’s numbers have reinforced the likelihood of ‘Jailer’ surpassing ‘Vikram’ to secure the second-highest grosser position in Tamil Nadu.
The ascent to the 200 crore mark also remains a strong prospect, with the second weekend’s performance playing a pivotal role in determining the outcome.
Comparatively, ‘Jailer’ currently holds a lead of 27 crores over ‘Vikram’, considering the parallel performance of both films up until Wednesday. Notably, ‘Vikram’ proceeded to add an additional 90 crores, culminating in a Tamil Nadu total of 181 crores. For ‘Jailer’ to touch the 208 crore mark, maintaining daily collections on par with ‘Vikram’ would be paramount.
Across the Telugu states, ‘Jailer’ galloped across the 50 crore gross milestone, securing its position as the third highest-grossing Kollywood film in the region. The film is anticipated to ascend to the second position during the upcoming weekend, potentially surpassing ‘Endhiran’.
Although the summit held by ‘2.0’ with a towering 92 crores seems formidable, the prospect of ‘Jailer’ challenging this achievement remains uncertain but not implausible.
