Reportedly the Greatest of All Time, also known as The GOAT, starring Thalapathy Vijay in the lead role, recently crossed the Rs 450 crore mark but the force required for a longer theatrical run seems to be missing. The film was expected to comfortably hit the Rs 500 crore club but the target is now out of reach. In fact, it will also miss the collection of ponniyin selvan 1 at the worldwide box office.
Perhaps the GOAT, directed by venkat Prabhu, was released on september 5. Upon its release, the film opened to mixed reviews from the critics. However, it failed to make much of an impact as the reaction from the fans was insane. Thalapathy Vijay has proved his superstar status as despite the strong music album and content, his film has managed to become one of the biggest box office hits in Kollywood.
Moreover in India, the daily box office has dropped to 1 crore, which indicates that The GOAT will end its run in the next few days. This will probably be the last weekend that the film will make a healthy jump, after which it will fall below a billion. It will not be able to do much overseas either.
With such a slow pace, The Greatest Of All Time will miss its target of surpassing ponniyin selvan 1 (Rs 482.70 crore gross). Thus, it will end its run at the worldwide box office as the 5th highest-grossing film of Kollywood.
Breakdown of The GOAT’s worldwide box office:
India Net – Rs 252.23 crore
India Gross – Rs 297.63 crore
Overseas Gross – Rs 158 crore
Worldwide box office – Rs 455.63 crore
