Chennai, October 5 - Superstar Rajinikanth returns to the big screen after the blockbuster success of Jailer last year with the upcoming action drama Vettaiyan. Directed by TJ Gnanavel, the movie is scheduled to release on October 10, coinciding with Vijayadasami.## Vettaiyan has been carrying decent buzz among the fans and is expected to take a very good start at the box office. Overseas, which has always been a strong market for Rajinikanth, the movie is heading for a good start after looking at the initial pre-sales response. ## As per the latest update, the overseas pre-sales of Vettaiyan have crossed $1 million (8.50+ crores) for the opening day, including $700K+ in North America. In Malaysia, it has so far sold over 10K tickets worth $50K+ for the opening day. ## The pre-sales of Vettaiyan, however, are not as strong as that of Jailer which took the opening of 40 crores ($4.75 million). With 4 days left for the release, the upcoming film is heading towards the opening in the range of 20-30 crores depending on where the final sales finish. ## Produced by Lyca Productions, the film stars Rajinikanth in the titular role, alongside Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, Ritika Singh, Dushara Vijayan, and Abhirami. It will be released in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi, and Kannada, languages.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, October 5 - Warner Bros. Pictures' musical psychological thriller Joker: Folie à Deux/Joker 2 has scored a rare unwanted record. The movie is a sequel to a billion-dollar grosser, so there were high expectations from Joker 2.## However, unlike the high expectations, Joker 2 is turning out to be a nightmare for the studio and the talent involved, heading towards an all-time disaster at the box office. The chances of a box office rebound are also unlikely due to terrible audience reception. ## Joker 2 has become the first comic book movie to receive 'D' CinemaScore. It is the second-worst CinemaScore rating, just above the 'F' rating. It is also only the second movie post the COVID-19 pandemic to score 'D' CinemaScore, after fantasy horror The Exorcism. ## As far as the box office is concerned, the sequel minted $7 million in its Thursday preview and is heading towards a disaster of around $40 million opening weekend at the domestic (North America) box office, which is less than half of the first movie. ## Directed by Todd Phillips, Joker 2 stars Joaquin Phoenix reprising his role as the titular character, with Lady Gaga joining as his love interest Harley Quinn. In the movie, Arthur Fleck is institutionalized at Arkham, awaiting trial for his crimes as Joker. While struggling with his dual identity, Arthur not only stumbles upon true love but also finds the music that's always been inside him.## Stay tuned...

The movie received a mixed reception from critics and audiences, and despite that, Thalapathy Vijay pulled off a fantastic first weekend with approximately 281 crores gross worldwide. It was, however, a different story when it came to the different parts of the country as far as the box office was concerned. The GOAT, after the not-so-encouraging reception, didn't get the desired result in Telugu states and Kerala, where Vijay's popularity was soaring. The actor's last film, Leo, did wonders in AP/TG and Kerala with over 100 crores gross, but this time, things weren't the same as The GOAT minted only 27 crores gross approx. in those states. In Karnataka and the Hindi belt, the GOAT did reasonably well, but it was once again the home state, Tamil Nadu, where the movie was just unstoppable and turned out to be the biggest grosser ever there with over 217 crores gross. Overseas, the movie performed exceptionally well against all odds, displaying the sheer stardom of Thalapathy Vijay. Overall, The GOAT minted over 450 crores globally, which includes 372 crores gross from Tamil Nadu and overseas collections. Additionally, the movie sold approximately 1.77 crores of tickets in India, which makes it the most-watched Tamil title of 2024.
