Key Highlight
  • Black trends well after a very low opening
  • Black needs to have a banger second week to succeed
  • Black plays in theatres now

Black directed by Balasubramani KG and starring Jiiva, Priya Bhavani Shankar and others had a low week, as a counter-programming feature for Tamil Nadu exhibitors, alongside Vettaiyan. What has caught the attention of every box office enthusiast is its terrific trend. Black opened with collections of Rs 20 lakh in the home state and ever since then, there's not a single day where it has collected less than what it did on its opening day.

Black Has A Low Opening Week Of Rs 3 Crore In Tamil Nadu; The Trend However Is Exceptional

After an opening day of Rs 20 lakh, the movie more than doubled on Saturday. It then grew almost 50 percent from Saturday on Sunday, to pack a weekend of Rs 1.30 crore. The weekday trend was exceptional, with the movie grossing Rs 40 lakh or more, everyday from Monday to Thursday. The week 1 of the film stands at slightly over Rs 3 crore and while that is low, it can turn things around by grossing higher in the second week than the first week.

The Trend Of Black Suggests A Box Office Breakout

There is a possibility of the movie breaking out in its second week. If that happens, Black can go on to pose a decent lifetime number. If not, it'll end up with sorry theatrical results. The Jiiva film has two more weeks to score before Amaran and other Diwali releases take over the reigns.
