Hyderabad: Rajinikanth's latest film Vettaiyan, premiered on October 10, 2024, with high expectations and significant star power, marking Amitabh bachchan's Tamil debut. However, as the film reaches its 17th day at the box office, it faces challenges in achieving the anticipated financial success, particularly in light of Rajinikanth's prior blockbuster, Jailer. Despite solid performances, audience interest appears to be waning.
Vettaiyan Box Office Collection Day 17
As of its 17th day, Vettaiyan has grossed approximately Rs 143.35 crore in India. Early estimates for Day 17 indicate a collection of Rs 1.15 crore, contributing to a total global revenue of Rs 412.24 crore. The film's journey has seen fluctuations, with previous-day collections of Rs 0.8 crore on 3rd Friday. The consistent yet subdued performance raises questions about the film's long-term viability.
Occupancy Rates and Audience Reach
The film's occupancy rates reveal varied audience engagement. On October 26, Tamil screenings recorded an occupancy rate of 15.95 percent, with night shows showing a stronger turnout of 21.48 percent. Telugu and Hindi screenings were less robust, with occupancy rates at 12.70 percent and 6.33 percent, respectively. These figures illustrate Vettaiyan's broader appeal across different language audiences, particularly in Tamil and Telugu regions.
