At the end of Day 7, the net earnings of Jana Nayagan in India stand at ₹149.50 crore while the gross earnings (also in INR) are at ₹174.63 crore. So far overseas markets have brought in a healthy ₹81 crore into gross collections, bringing the gross collections to over ₹255 crore worldwide within just one week.
Regarding Day 8, it will be a day in progress, so the final number is not set until the day is concluded at the time of writing. What is known is that the advance bookings of shows on the day were around ₹2.43 crore gross, with approximately 1.51 lakh tickets sold in advance in 6,566 shows, across 2,111 theatres in 925 cities. The second Thursday on the weekday, with the opening rush behind us, had an 117-9 ratio of fast-filling shows to housefull shows; a ratio that’s pretty standard for a second Thursday weekday show, and was 9-8 at morning occupancy. As per the trend of Day 7, industry sources believe that Day 8 would find itself in the vicinity of the ₹5-6 crore net range, taking the movie’s total net collection figure in India above the ₹155 crore mark.
Tamil Nadu is still the clear leader by far and even on weekdays, the cities such as Chennai, Coimbatore and Salem attract decent audiences for evening and night performances. The overseas centres such as the Gulf, the US and the UK have remained relatively unchanged over the last week and are adding to the global figure as the India numbers have been on a downward trajectory.
Word of mouth is still mostly positive, on the audience response side. Vijay’s screen presence and the action scenes, which are more apt for mass, are still being touted for and there is an emotional connection with fans, who are now referring to each show as a part of his farewell. This type of goodwill is the reason that these movies start to gain a bit of momentum again in the next day or two, instead of dropping off dramatically.
Final Word
Here’s the trend of Day 8 for Jana Nayagan on the box office. The movie has already grossed ₹149.50 crore on the domestic box office since it released about a week ago, while the global gross has already surpassed ₹255 crore. The numbers are still rolling in for Day 8, but early advance bookings and occupancy trends indicate another solid (though unspectacular) weekday. Now really to watch will be if the film enjoys a second weekend bump, as it will determine just how large its lifetime total is.
