The Film’s Impact Across Languages

Tamil Version Dominates

The Tamil version of GOAT is the film’s main success as it earned above 88% from total collections in first four days. Thalapathy Vijay has a huge fan base in Tamil Nadu and its adjacent areas, so this should come as no surprise.

GOAT made Rs 121.05 crore just by showing Tamil version, this figure beats many other Tamil films released recently including blockbusters like Raayan or Indian 2. The tremendous success of the movie in Tamil Nadu can be explained by local love for Vijay, Venkat Prabhu’s direction and massy action sequences appealing to them

Hindi Version Faces Distribution Hurdles

But even though GOAT was an absolute hit in Tamil, its Hindi version hardly could make any ripple. One of the key factors for this was the absence of such a movie in three major multiplex chains- PVR, INOX and Cinepolis. Hence within first four days, it just earned Rs 8.3 crore only through Hindi shows due to limited distribution. This figure is indeed good for a Tamil flick in North India but shows a lost chance. Had it been extensively distributed in these nationwide chains, it would have reaped much more from Hindi moviegoers.

Telugu Version Gaining Traction

However, much like their Tamil counterpart, the Telugu version of GOAT couldn’t set standards but still remained modest making a collection of a good Rs 7.85 crores in just the first four days. The cross-regional appeal of Thalapathy Vijay has made Telugu speaking audiences increasingly interested in his movies over time. GOAT may not have achieved what some consider as big blow outs by other Telugu films but it has consolidated Abdullah’s existence in Telugu land paving way for more to come.

A Competitive Box Office Landscape

The speed with which GOAT surpass competition ranks among most impressive aspects of box office performance. GOAT grossed Rs 155 crore internationally within 48 hours of release surpassing Raayan which had a lifetime gross of just Rs 154 crore. Thereby, becoming the highest earning Tamil movie in 2024. Importantly though, it did this despite mixed reviews on release confirming that viewers’ interests and star power may sometimes outweigh negative comments by critics.

Tamil cinema still records its biggest all-time winner with Thalapathy Vijay’s Leo (2023) flying off the shelves raking in Rs 605.9 crores globally. Some analysts claim that if she maintains this pace over the next few weeks she may happen to break these records soon enough. Presently GOAT is at Rs 137.2 crores locally but has made Rs 221.25 crores around the world which leaves its chances looking good without big releases lined up for September that can interfere with its box-office run.

Day-Wise Box Office Collection Analysis

The collections of the GOAT on a daily basis indicate an impressive beginning and enduring appeal during this long weekend. It was released on a Thursday when it collected an amazing Rs 44 crore which is the net collection amount. On Friday however it dropped to Rs 25.5 crore but bounced back over the weekend earning Rs 33.5 crore on Saturday and then peaked at Rs 34.2 crore on Sunday. This upward move during these days is due to effective word-of-mouth promotion carried out by fans that Thalapathy Vijay has built over time.

Day 1: Strong Opening

GOAT packed a powerful punch on its first day, raking in Rs 44 crore. Thanks to high expectations from die-hard fans eager to see Thalapathy Vijay in full flow, it had packed theaters on its opening day.

This pre-release marketing campaign that emphasized highly anticipated scenes of action and a famous star cast was one of the factors responsible for pulling in patrons on Day-1.

Day 2: A Minor Dip

On second day, the collections fell by a bit to Rs 25.5 crore, which is representing a decline of 42% as compared to day one. The decline was anticipated since usually Fridays see lesser movement than the very first day. However, GOAT’s revenues stayed solid enough to keep its pace going through the weekend.

Days 3 and 4: Weekend Surge

The collections were Rs 33.5 crore and Rs 34.2 crore on Saturday and Sunday respectively, which means that there has been a surge in the box office numbers. This is because weekend audiences usually come out in bigger numbers for films made to attract a larger mass of people. Moreover, GOAT’s positive word-of-mouth and fan reactions have helped it remain stable too, hence contributing to this increase.

Occupancy Rates and Audience Reception

Tamil Screenings

This indicates that GOAT had some high occupancy rates for Tamil shows, 71.39% on Sunday overall, signifying great demand across theaters. All weekend long the film kept drawing large audiences with afternoon and evening shows having more than 77% occupancy rates. Slightly lower numbers characterized morning shows with only 61.65% occupancy even if it gained more momentum with time.

Hindi Screenings

GOAT had an overall occupancy rate that was much less 24.55% in Hindi-speaking areas. Morning shows struggled with just 10.37% occupancy while afternoon and evening shows saw some moderate rises touching 35.42%.

In spite of these lower numbers, GOAT has been able to maintain its audience mainly in areas where Thalapathy Vijay is widely followed.

Telugu Screenings

Telugu screenings too recorded mediocre attendance for they made an overall occupancy of 21.66% on Sunday. Afternoon shows were more popular during the day with a 24.99% occupancy rate compared to morning shows that struggled at 15.72%. The film has not performed as well in Telugu markets as it has in Tamil Nadu but it shows that Vijay’s movies are gaining traction among Telugu people.

Can GOAT Surpass Leo?

On the one hand, continuing its box office run is what GOAT appears to do but on other hand, it has outperformed some of its competitors in 2024. However, it is still far from the success which Leo achieved. In our opinion, this will be clear in the coming weeks whether or not GOAT will become Vijay’s greatest box office hit ever.

Conclusion: A Milestone in Tamil Cinema

GOAT, with a remarkably impressive box office success in just four days, has marked itself as a major landmark in Tamil film industry.

This high energy action packed movie having top stars and being suitable for the common man has tapped into the sentiments of people all over India and even abroad. Throughout its lifetime, GOAT will always be remembered for making an indelible mark on Tamil cinema which ranks among 2024’s blockbusters.
