The day-wise split from Sacnilk’s live table:

|---|---|---|---|
| Premiere (Wed, Oct 14) | Rs 95.50 lakh | Rs 88.81 lakh | 642 |
| Day 1 (Thu, Oct 15) | Rs 30.87 cr | Rs 26.72 cr | 13,910 |

Day 3 is running at 23% occupancy — healthy for a Saturday still three days out. The Tamil 2D version does the heavy lifting (Rs 6.02 crore), followed by Telugu 2D (Rs 1.14 crore), Hindi 2D (Rs 17.57 lakh), and Kannada 2D (Rs 6.57 lakh), with premium formats (Dolby Cinema, EPIQ, IMAX 2D) adding the rest.
A word on “blocked seats”: cinemas hold back a chunk of seats (complimentary, corporate, staff). Sacnilk shows both numbers. The Rs 57.24 crore figure includes them; the real cash-in-hand number is Rs 49.92 crore. Both are moving up every few hours.
The doubling nobody is talking about

Advances have roughly quadrupled in two days. Day 1 alone is now at Rs 30.87 crore gross — 54% of the entire advance pie — across 13,910 shows at 34% occupancy. CinemaExpress called the film “a sure shot 250-crore grosser” based on these trends, while noting that Coolie remains Rajinikanth’s biggest advance-booker ever and Jailer 2 “has a long way to go” to beat that record.
What happens in the next 48 hours
Tonight: premiere shows across 642 screens, already at 31% occupancy. First reviews and fan reactions will hit social media by midnight — they will decide the Friday walk-in crowd.
Tomorrow: Day 1. With Rs 30.87 crore already banked in advance, the opening-day gross is headed for one of the biggest Tamil openings of the year. Tamil Nadu leads the states (Rs 7.78 crore gross per TOI’s Oct 12 report), with Kerala and Karnataka strong behind it.
