Coolie Box Office Collection Day 7: Rajinikanth movie nears ₹220 crore at end of week 1; mints THIS much on Wednesday
The Rajinikanth movie, released on August 14 to mark the superstar's 50th year in the industry, enjoyed a record-breaking opening at the Indian box office but has since experienced a slowdown.
Coolie's earnings dropped massively by 65.96% on Monday and another 20.83% on Tuesday. The numbers for Wednesday, Day 7, are not as great either.
According to early estimates of industry tracker Sacnilk, Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, earned just ₹ 2.71 crore on Wednesday until 5:00 PM.
On Tuesday, the movie saw its first single-digit collection since its release, ₹ 9.5 crore, of which ₹ 5.65 from its Tamil variant.
With this, Coolie's 7-day total stands at ₹ 218.71 crore.
The total earnings will be revised later in the evening, once the figures for the evening and night show are declared.
The movie has been released in five languages: Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada, boosting a pan-India appeal.
Coolie had an overall 17.43% Tamil occupancy on Wednesday:
Coolie had an overall 8.87% Hindi occupancy on Wednesday:
Coolie, the biggest Indian opener of 2025 at the worldwide box office, earned a gross of ₹ 418 crore globally on Day 6. Of this, the movie minted ₹ 162.2 crore overseas, while its India gross was ₹ 255.8 crore.
According to the moviemakers, Coolie raked in ₹ 404 crore gross in 4 days, and touted it to be the highest worldwide gross collection in the Tamil film industry. However, Sacnilk numbers showed that the movie only crossed the milestone on Day 5.
Sacnilk said Coolie became the first Tamil movie to cross the Rs150 crore worldwide mark on its opening day, cementing its place in cinematic history.
Coolie's Day 7 global earnings will be published tomorrow, Thursday.
Rajinikanth's Coolie stars Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR, and Monisha Blessy. Bollywood actors Aamir Khan and Pooja Hegde also appear in a cameo.
Coolie is facing fierce competition from Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2.

Coolie Day 7 India Box Office Estimates: Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj's crime-drama finds the going tough; Registers another fall
Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, and starring Rajinikanth, observed yet another drop at the box office, grossing just Rs 8 crore in India. The film is ahead of War 2 on a day-on-day basis, after being behind it the day before, courtesy Discount Tuesday. The total collections of Coolie have crossed Rs 250 crore, but a Rs 300 crore India finish still looks uncertain seeing the way that it is dropping each day. Coolie Adds Rs 8 Crore On Day 7 In India; Crosses Rs 250 Crore When It Should Have Already Crossed Rs 300 Crore Coolie 's total collections after Wednesday stand at Rs 256.25 crore. The extended week 1 is headed for Rs 263 crore, compared to War 2's Rs 233 crore. For Coolie to remain as the higher grosser in India and overseas is a feat because War 2 has much wider appeal, and a much bigger audience to cater to. However, given the start that Coolie took, it should have been targetting Rs 450-500 crore in India alone, instead of worldwide. The Day Wise India Gross Collections Of Coolie Are As Under Day India Gross Collections Thursday Rs 75.50 crore Friday Rs 63 crore Saturday Rs 46.25 crore Sunday Rs 40.50 crore Monday Rs 13 crore Tuesday Rs 10 crore Wednesday Rs 8 crore Total Rs 256.25 crore gross in 7 days Coolie Will Be Seen As An Opportunity Lost Because... Coolie is set to end up with collections of under Rs 500 crore. The final numbers will be in the top 5 or top 6 highest grossing Kollywood movies list but that's not saying much when the target was an industry hit. After a record opening and record extended opening weekend, for the movie to end up with the collections just over Rs 450 crore, it will obviously be seen as an opportunity lost. However, that doesn't absolve the movie from the fact that it is a successful movie. It can be a hit provided it starts showing good holds from here, till the rest of its run. Coolie In Theatres

War 2 Day 7 India Box Office: Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani's movie falls off; Adds Rs 6.75 crore gross on 1st Wednesday
War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, and starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani among others, dropped big on its first Wednesday in India. After a slight uptick in collections on Tuesday due to the discount offers, the movie dropped steeply on Wednesday, grossing just Rs 6.75 crore. Most of the collections have come from the Hindi version. The drop from Monday is 30 percent, and that sums up the film's poor result. War 2 Adds Rs 6.75 Crore On Day 7 In India; Lowest Single Day Of The Run So Far War 2 's total collections in India after 7 days, stands at Rs 226.75 crore gross. The film heads for an extended weekend of Rs 233 crore or so. The rejection is across the board, and now, even a Rs 275 crore final looks difficult. Only if there is some sort of consolidation in collections in the second weekend, will it scamper through the Rs 275 crore India gross mark. The Day Wise Gross India Collections Of War 2 Are Are Under Day India Gross Collections Thursday Rs 59 crore Friday Rs 67 crore Saturday Rs 38 crore Sunday Rs 36 crore Monday Rs 9.50 crore Tuesday Rs 10.50 crore Wednesday Rs 6.75 crore Total Rs 226.75 crore gross in 7 days War 2 Heads For A Finish In The Vicinity Of Rs 350 Crore At The Global Box Office War 2 is also a no show at the overseas box office. The movie may, at best, cross USD 10 million. This is not a good place to be in, when you have two big A-listers and a massive budget. A Rs 350 crore gross worldwide finish is what looks realistic. That would mean that the film's worldwide gross will be lower than its budget. It will end up being a rare movie where even the producers lose money. Generally, producers end up making their money. But here, YRF will lose, and along with them, even the Andhra distributor and the actors who decided to get into profit-sharing will lose.

According to Sacnilk, this brings its total domestic collection to approximately ₹ 199 crore at the end of its first week.
