Ajith Kumar's Valimai second weekend box office; Ride past 100 crores in India
Valimai dropped heavily in its second weekend at the Indian box office, grossing Rs. 10 crores approx, taking its eleven-day running total just shy of Rs. 105 crores. The film crossed Rs. 100 crores in India on Sunday, making it the second Ajith starrer to go over the century mark after Viswasam. The second-weekend drop from the opening weekend was steep 80 per cent but that was known when the collections dropped to very low levels during the weekdays. The only bright spot was Sunday business, which recorded a big jump of 50 per cent or so, though that wasn’t nearly enough to save it from the crash.
The box office collections of Valimai at the Indian box office is as follows:
Week One - Rs. 94.75 crores (8 days)
2nd Friday - Rs. 1.75 crores
2nd Saturday - Rs. 3.25 crores
2nd Sunday - Rs. 5 crores
Total - Rs. 104.75 crores approx
Tamil Nadu was virtually making up all India collections, with the weekend of Rs. 9.25 crores for a total near Rs 86 crores. Sunday recorded a huge jump in all centres, with numbers more than the combined sum of Friday and Sunday. It will add another Rs. 3 crores or so on the weekdays before the release of Suriya starrer Etharkkum Thunindhavan and Prabhas starrer Radhe Shyam next week and that will mostly mark the end of the run for the movie, closing over/under Rs. 90 crores. The distributor share in the state stands at Rs. 45-46 crores approx in eleven days.
The territorial breakdown for Valimai in India is as follows:
Tamil Nadu - Rs. 85.75 crores
Karnataka - Rs. 6.10 crores
AP/TS - Rs. 6 crores
Kerala - Rs. 2.90 crores
Rest of India - Rs. 4 crores
