Box Office: 'The Greatest of All Time' Opening Day Early Estimates
Chennai, September 5 - One of the biggest films of the year, Thalapathy Vijay's action thriller The Greatest of All Time was released on the big screens on September 5 amid huge anticipation. The movie received mixed to positive reception from the audience, but it didn't stop the movie from taking a huge opening at the box office. ## Thalapathy Vijay has proved in the past that his movies are critic-proof and have scored a big collection at the box office. The GOAT, as far as the opening is concerned, is proving critics' reviews as a secondary thing once again. ## According to the early estimates, The GOAT is expected to score 28-30 crores in gross collection in the home state, Tamil Nadu. The TN collection might vary depending on offline ticket sales in smaller centres which is a massive aspect of South Indian movies. ## Outside Tamil Nadu, the action thriller is looking to score in the range of 9 crores gross collection in Karnataka, and 6+ crores gross in Kerala. The movie, however, has a below-par opening in Telugu states as estimates suggest around 4 crores gross start, which is nowhere near Vijay's last film, Leo's opening in this region. In North India, the movie is expected to gross 2.50 crores. ## Overall, The GOAT is expected to gross around 50+ crores (42-43 crores net) at the domestic collection which is by far the biggest opening for a Tamil title this year and one of the biggest of all time. As per the estimates, the opening of the film is very much in line with industry projections. ## South Indian films tend to go down after the big opening and with mixed reviews, the drop is likely to be bigger than expected which remains to see.## Stay tuned...
