Vijay's 'GOAT' struggles; earns ₹246cr in 20 days
What's the story
Thalapathy Vijay's Tamil film, GOAT (Greatest Of All Time), has experienced a slowdown in its box office performance during its third week.
Despite crossing the ₹200cr mark swiftly and being one of the fastest Tamil films to reach ₹100cr within three days of release, the movie is now struggling to maintain momentum.
Released on September 5, 2024, it appears unlikely that GOAT will surpass the ₹300cr mark soon.

'GOAT' earned ₹1.15cr on Day 20
On its 20th day (third Tuesday), GOAT earned ₹1.15cr, bringing its net collection to ₹245.65cr, as reported by Sacnilk.
The film's overall Tamil occupancy stood at 16.41% on the same day, with Hindi occupancy at 7.2%.
Despite these figures, the worldwide gross collection of GOAT is estimated to be between ₹445.6-446.1cr, reflecting its global appeal and success beyond domestic borders.
