- Sunday’s overall Tamil occupancy stood at 51.06% with stronger afternoon and evening shows, and Pondicherry leading city-wise at 69%, Sacnilk reported.
- Koimoi reported an overseas day-one gross of Rs 12.25 crore and a worldwide day-one total of Rs 27 crore, including a career-best $365,000 for Sivakarthikeyan in North America.
- The release followed late CBFC clearance after 25 mandated cuts, placing the film in theatres on Saturday as the weekend’s sole major Tamil offering during the Pongal frame.
- Early comparisons indicate the start trails Sivakarthikeyan’s recent highs, with the two-day haul less than half of Amaran’s Rs 46.65 crore and characterized as his weakest opening in two years.
