Meiyazhagan Opening Weekend Box Office: Karthi and Arvind Swami starrer earns around Rs 24 crore gross; Takes good start globally
Meiyazhagan, starring Karthi and Arvind Swamy, ended its opening weekend at an impressive note. The movie collected Rs 24 crore gross at the worldwide box office.
Meiyazhagan starring Karthi and Arvind Swamy is selling tickets at the box office like hot cakes. The Tamil movie has met with positive word of mouth which is boosting its business at the box office. The heartwarming drama, directed by C. Prem Kumar of 96 fame, has recorded an impressive start as it ended its first weekend at Rs 24 crore worldwide.
Meiyazhagan Takes A Good Start In Tamil Nadu, Grossing Rs 10 crore
Bankrolled by Suriya and Jyothika under their home productions, 2D Entertainment, Meiyazhagan opened with Rs 2.8 crore in its home state. The Kollywood movie further saw an upward trajectory and jumped by 33% on Day 2 and collected Rs 3.75 crore. The movie saw another spike on its third day, which was Sunday, and took its first weekend total to Rs 10.7 crore gross in Tamil Nadu, by adding Rs 4.15 crore on Day 3.
This is a good start for a small-budget movie at the Kollywood box office. However, the performance in other states remained flat and slow. It could collect around Rs 40 lakh in Kerala and Rs 3.25 crore gross in APTS. It should be noted that the movie has to face the blockbuster waves of Onam releases Ajayante Randam Moshanam (ARM) and Kishkindha Kaandam in Malayalam while a direct clash with Devara in Telugu regions. The movie minted Rs 1.35 crore in Karnataka, while the rest of India contributed around Rs 25 lakh.
In its first weekend, the total cume of Meiyazhagan in India reached Rs 16.0 crore gross.
Meiyazhagan Performs Well Overseas; Positive WOM Should Sail It To A Favorable End
The sweet drama film successfully struck chords with the audience in foreign locations. The movie has grossed USD 950K (Rs 8.00 crore) from overseas territories, which is a good start. The total box office collection of Meiyazhagan currently stands at approx. Rs 24.0 crore worldwide after its opening weekend.
The Karthi-Arvind Swamy movie has received a positive public response, which will ensure a good hold over the weekdays and the following weeks. The movie can eventually emerge as a successful venture if it manages to collect a healthy total until the end of its theatrical run at the global box office.
The National holiday on October 2nd, on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, should give it a boost in business, especially in the home state. Moreover, it has a free run until Dussehra Biggie Vettaiyan releases and grabs most of the screens.
