Karuppu Day 18 Box Office: Earns Rs. 2.76 Cr Gross to Record 2nd Highest 3rd Monday; Beats Amaran and Vikram
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 βΉ2.76 Cr across India. This brings its total India gross to a massive βΉ213.75 Cr, while the total India net collection stands at βΉ184.85 Cr. Looking at the collection trend, the Day 18 performance shows a 59.3 percent drop from the previous day net collection of βΉ5.90 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 βΉ2.10 Cr yesterday. The Andhra Pradesh and Telangana markets also added a decent gross of βΉ0.45 Cr. Looking at other southern states, Karnataka contributed βΉ0.11 Cr and Kerala added βΉ0.09 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.

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.

The overseas market added approximately βΉ0.50 Cr on Day 18, taking the total overseas gross to βΉ78.25 Cr so far. This pushes the worldwide gross collection to an early estimate of βΉ292.00 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.
