With a stronghold on Tamil Nadu's box office, the film has enjoyed remarkable popularity. However, today marks the entry of two new contenders: the comedy-drama Nandhan, directed by Saravanan, and Lubber Pandhu, a sports comedy directed by debutant Tamizharasan Pachamuthu. Despite competition, GOAT is said to dominate the box office.

The overall occupancy for GOAT on Thursday, September 19, 2024, stood at 16.23% for the Tamil version, while the Hindi version saw an occupancy of 8.50%.
- Thunderous Opening Day
GOAT had a sensational opening, grossing Rs 44 crore on its first day, a figure that was anticipated given the film's hype surrounding Vijay's penultimate role. The film went on to collect Rs 178 crore in its first week and added another Rs 53.98 crore in its second week.
Globally, The Greatest of All Time is approaching a remarkable Rs 500 crore gross collection. As per the makers, the film has already earned Rs 413 crore at the international box office within just 13 days of its release.
