BY SACNILK
Karuppu has officially completed eighteen days in theaters, and the latest box office numbers indicate that the film is holding its ground remarkably well. For any big-budget South Indian film, the third week is usually where the steam starts to run out, but this one is proving its longevity by maintaining a very steady flow of footfalls. On Day 18, the film managed to pull in a gross collection of ₹2.76 Cr across India. This brings its total India gross to a massive ₹213.75 Cr, while the total India net collection stands at ₹184.85 Cr. Looking at the collection trend, the Day 18 performance shows a 59.3 percent drop from the previous day net collection of ₹5.90 Cr. A drop on a Monday is quite typical for any big release, but the significant part is the show count. The film managed to pull in its numbers while running across 3,141 shows nationwide. Maintaining this volume of screenings into the third week is a clear indication that the demand is still strong enough to sustain a wide release across all major circuits. Let's break down the regional gross performance for Day 18. Tamil Nadu continues to be the primary engine, contributing a gross of ₹2.10 Cr yesterday. The Andhra Pradesh and Telangana markets also added a decent gross of ₹0.45 Cr. Looking at other southern states, Karnataka contributed ₹0.11 Cr and Kerala added ₹0.09 Cr. This regional spread shows that the film has found a wide audience beyond just its primary market. In terms of occupancy, the Tamil version recorded 21.0 percent, with major hubs like Chennai leading at 27.5 percent and Coimbatore at 24.5 percent.

Its third Monday Tamil net collection is now the second-highest ever in Kollywood history, trailing only behind Jailer. By doing so, it has overtaken the collections of major hits like Vikram and Amaran for the same day. This steady pace is a clear indicator that the word-of-mouth remains positive, helping the film maintain its momentum even as it approaches the end of its third week.

According to the latest data from BookMyShow, Karuppu sold approximately 27,260 tickets on its third Monday alone. This puts it at the third spot for the highest third-Monday ticket sales on the platform, staying ahead of major blockbusters like Leo. To date, the total tickets booked on the platform have crossed the 43.35 lakh mark, which is a testament to the film's popularity across different audience segments. Looking at the global picture, while the domestic gross collection is final at ₹213.75 Cr, the international numbers are currently coming in as early estimates. The overseas market added approximately ₹0.50 Cr on Day 18, taking the total overseas gross to ₹78.25 Cr so far. This pushes the worldwide gross collection to an early estimate of ₹292.00 Cr. With the film now just 8 crores away from the 300 crore worldwide milestone, it is well on its way to becoming one of the most successful outings for the industry this year. The coming days will be crucial as the film looks to sustain this momentum before new big releases hit the screens.
