After an impressive opening-weekend run coinciding with Diwali, Suriya-starrer Scene is now nearing the ₹100-crore club at the box office on the first Monday after its release (day four).
The action comedy flick has so far collected ₹14.62 crore in India net earnings across 4,421 shows, which has taken its total India net haul to ₹77.77 crore, and its total India gross collection to ₹90.60 crore—just ₹9.40 crore away from entering the ₹100-crore club.
Within the ₹14.62-crore figure for day four of its theatrical run, 3,343 Tamil screenings so far contributed ₹12.46 crore, while 1,078 shows in Telugu raked in ₹2.16 crore, as per box office tracker Sacnilk.
This comes on the back of a stellar run in cinemas over the Diwali weekend, despite competition from films like Ramayana: Rise of a Legend.
In fact, the report also shows that the film saw a 6.2 per cent rise in India net collection on day two (Saturday) of its theatrical run to reach ₹20.35 crore. This figure then grew by 16.2 per cent on day three (Sunday) to reach ₹23.65 crore, as the opening (and Diwali) weekend came to an end.
Going by these figures, the film needs to earn more than ₹23.65 crore in India net collection for day four in order to keep up its growth spike post-Diwali.
With ₹14.62 crore in India net earnings already raked in today, Scene will now have to earn more than ₹9.03 crore to break its India net collection on day three.
This comes after the Jithu Madhavan film already crossed the ₹100-crore mark in terms of worldwide gross in its opening weekend, notching ₹117.10 crore on its third day after its total overseas gross rose to ₹43.75 crore.
Scene is now the third Suriya film to cross the ₹100-crore mark worldwide within its first three days, after Karuppu and Vishwanath and Sons.
While Karuppu had crossed the milestone in three days with ₹121.75 crore, Vishwanath and Sons did it in just two days, after which it ended the third day at ₹108.22 crore. This puts Suriya in an exclusive club of actors like Prabhas, Yash and Vijay, who have achieved this major milestone.
