Rajinikanth's Jailer , directed by Nelson Dilipkumar had another strong weekend at the Indian box office as it raked in Rs. 24 crores approx. After the third weekend, the domestic total of the film has reached Rs. 376 crores approx. The film has grossed another USD 23 million (Rs. 190 crores) overseas, which give it a worldwide box office take of Rs. 566 crores approx.

The drop from the second weekend is 60 percent, while Tamil Nadu held better at nearly 50 percent drop. Outside Tamil Nadu, film had some competition from local releases which led to higher drop. In Tamil Nadu, the third weekend was Rs. 13.50 crores which is slightly behind Vikram (Rs. 14.80 crores). Vikram added Rs. 24 crores to its total after the third weekend, for Jailer one can accept something between Rs. 15-20 crores, which would give it a final number of Rs. 190-195 crores in the state. That would be second highest ever, just behind PS1 (Rs. 222 crores) and ahead of Vikram (Rs. 181 crores).

The box office collections of Jailer at the Indian box office are as follows:

Week One: Rs. 263.50 crores (9 days)
Week Two: Rs. 88.50 crores

3rd Friday: Rs. 5.50 crores
3rd Saturday: Rs. 8.50 crores
3rd Sunday: Rs. 10 crores

Total: Rs. 376 crores

In all, the film stays on track to hit Rs. 400 crores in India, which will be a second for Kollywood after 2.0. That film had a big contribution from the Hindi version, while the Hindi version of Jailer has grossed a mere Rs. 6 crores, so in that regard, this is the biggest Tamil film ever in South India. If the film lands on the high end of expectations in some of the territories, it can go on to cross Rs. 600 crores worldwide as well.
