Ajith Kumar's Valimai Second week box office; Held steady in the weekdays
Valimai held steadily at low levels on the weekdays in the second week at the Indian box office, posting Rs. 15.50 crores approx, for a total of Rs. 110.30 crores approx in two weeks. The way the film dropped last week on weekdays, a similar drop was certainly a possibility this week as well but the collections of film settled on Monday and remain there for the next two days. There was a drop on Thursday due to the release of Suriya starrer E.T. Etharkkum Thunindhavan and there will be a further drop today with Radhe Shyam releasing, but Saturday and Sunday shall see a big jump similar to the second week.
The box office collections of Valimai at the Indian box office is as follows:
Week One - Rs. 94.80 crores
2nd Friday - Rs. 1.75 crores
2nd Saturday - Rs. 3.25 crores
2nd Sunday - Rs. 5.25 crores
2nd Monday - Rs. 1.50 crores
2nd Tuesday - Rs. 1.50 crores
2nd Wednesday - Rs. 1.40 crores
2nd Thursday - Rs. 0.85 crores
Total - Rs. 110.30 crores approx
In Tamil Nadu, the Ajith Kumar starrer grossed Rs. 14 crores in the second week for a total of just under Rs. 91 crores. The second-week numbers are quite fair given the way film trended in the first week. Last year's Diwali release Annaatthe had similar drops on weekdays and collected just Rs. 7 crores in its week two, while this one did double of that. For what it's worth, it's not too far off Master's second week of Rs. 23.50 crores, when the day eight business was just about half of Master. Despite the two new releases, the film has retained 200 plus screens in the third week and if weekend jumps and weekdays holds are as good as the second week, it will continue to run till the release of RRR and get close to Rs. 100 crores in the state.
Outside Tamil Nadu, the film has closed its business, both India and Overseas, and will barely add anything.
