The Greatest of All Time (The GOAT) Box Office
This impressive start was further bolstered on the second day, as the film earned approximately ₹25 crore net across all languages. The Tamil version of the film saw a notable occupancy rate of 60.38% on Friday, September 6, 2024, reflecting a strong and sustained interest from the audience.
Examining the occupancy rates for the Tamil shows on the film’s second day reveals a positive trend throughout the day. Morning shows had an occupancy rate of 45.99%, which increased to 55.14% in the afternoon. The evening shows saw a further rise to 66.06%, and the night shows peaked at 74.32%. In contrast, the Hindi version, Thalapathy Is The G.O.A.T., experienced a much lower occupancy rate, averaging 12.43% overall. The morning shows in Hindi started with a modest 7.20% occupancy, gradually rising to 20.56% by the night shows.
Regional Performance and Strategic Release
The Telugu version of The GOAT also showed a strong performance on the second day, with an overall occupancy rate of 19.53%. The morning shows in Telugu recorded a 16.01% occupancy, which improved to 24.61% by the night shows. Interestingly, the film’s release strategy included skipping a Hindi multiplex opening in favor of a quicker OTT release. This approach aimed to maximize OTT revenue but resulted in a softer opening compared to Vijay’s previous film, Leo. While The GOAT is available in multiplexes in North India for Tamil and Telugu versions, it is only showing in single screens for Hindi.
Cast and Production Highlights
Directed by Venkat Prabhu and produced by AGS Entertainment, The Greatest of All Time boasts a distinguished cast including Vijay Chandrasekhar, Prabhu Deva, Prashanth, Ajmal Ameer, Sneha, Meenakshi Chaudhary, and Yogi Babu. The film’s strong box office performance and strategic release plan underscore its potential for ongoing success.
