GOAT box office collection day 1 prediction: Thalapathy Vijay's film eyes a massive opening with historic numbers
Thalapathy Vijay's latest film, Greatest of All Time (GOAT), is set to make a massive impact at the box office, both in India and worldwide. Vijay, known for his strong fan base and box office success, is one of the biggest stars in Tamil cinema. Over the years, his films have consistently performed well, and GOAT is expected to follow the same path with a massive opening. The film, directed by Venkat Prabhu, has generated huge excitement even before its release.
The advance bookings for GOAT broke records in Tamil cinema, showing just how eager fans are to see Vijay on screen. According to trade reports, the pre-sales of the film have already brought in around Rs 62 crore globally. In India alone, the pre-sales grossed an additional Rs 30 crore, including blocked seats.
The film has already sold 12.37 lakh tickets in advance on its opening day in India, an impressive feat for any film. With such strong advance bookings, GOAT is expected to perform well not only in the Tamil market but also in Telugu-speaking regions, where the bookings are looking even more promising.
Despite some mixed reviews from early screenings in the entertainment news world, the film's opening weekend is not expected to be affected. Trade experts predict that GOAT will earn more than Rs 100 crore worldwide on its first day. In India, the film is likely to earn between Rs 30 and 40 crore net during its debut weekend. Vijay's last film, Leo, made over Rs 142 crore on its first day, and GOAT is expected to follow closely behind, becoming another box office hit for the actor.
Director Venkat Prabhu is confident that the film will be a huge success. In a recent interview, he described GOAT as a "celebration" of Vijay's career. He wanted the film to stand out from Thalapathy's previous works and treated it like a farewell film for the actor, as it is Vijay's second-to-last movie before he steps into politics.
By the end of its first weekend in India, GOAT is predicted to earn over Rs 100 crore net. If the audience showers it with more love and positive word of mouth spreads more, the film could continue its success throughout the weekdays, making it one of Vijay's biggest box office hits.
