Coolie early box office Day 1: Rajinikanth inks Tamil history in Rs 150 crore gold
'Coolie' has done the unthinkable. It hit the ball out of the park as we watched - day after day - its advance booking numbers soared. Early estimates for its first day - hold your hearts - suggest that the Rajinikanth-starrer grossed around Rs 150 crore worldwide, a first for a Tamil reported by the trade website Sacnilk, the Lokesh Kanagaraj-directorial grossed around Rs 28-30 crore from Tamil Nadu alone. Add around Rs 16-18 crore gross from Andhra Pradesh/ Telangana, Rs 14-15 crore gross from Karnataka, Rs 10 crore from Kerala and over Rs 75 crore gross from the overseas market - and you will get a figure which looks the opening day box office breakdown for 'Coolie' (early estimates) - gross collection (Source: Sacnilk)Tamil Nadu: Rs 28-30 croreKarnataka: Rs 14-15 croreKerala: Rs 10 croreAndhra Pradesh/ Telangana: Rs 16-18 croreOverseas: Rs 75 crore (approx.)North: Rs 2 crore (approx., at least)Total: Rs 150 crore (approx.)While the final figures are yet to come, from what it seems, 'Coolie' might have just surpassed 'Leo' to become the biggest Tamil opener ever domestically.

Coolie All India Opening Day Box Office Estimate: Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj film takes a Kollywood record opening; Collects over Rs 75 crore
Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, and starring Rajinikanth, broke all time opening day records for a Kollywood movie, almost everywhere it released in. All past records have been obilterated and new records have been set. As per early estimates, Coolie has collected over Rs 75 crore on day 1 in India. This is despite clashing with a big release like War 2. If not for the clash, the movie could have collected around Rs 10 crore more. Coolie Opens To India Gross Collections Of Rs 75 Crore Plus, With Around Rs 30 Crore From Tamil Nadu The home state collections of Coolie, look to be in the vicinity of Rs 30 crore, only under Beast and Leo. Beast's collections are the highest because it had permission for early morning shows, unlike Leo and Coolie. The best performance in terms of potential realised has come from the two Andhra states. Despite playing alongside a movie with a tier-1 superstar, it did exceptionally. Infact, it has given War 2 a run for its money in most of the major cities. The same should continue for the rest of the weekend. Coolie Heads To Become One Of The Top 5 Highest Grossing Kollywood Movies Of All Time Coolie's word of mouth is on the mixed side, limiting its potential for record lifetime numbers. The extended weekend though, should propel the movie to a very safe position. Despite the mixed reception, it is likely to end as one of the top 5 Kollywood grossers of all time. For those who don't know, the highest grossing Kollywood film record remains with Rajinkanth 's 2.0. Rajinikanth is already busy with his next movie Jailer 2. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, the dark-comedy is already one of the most hyped Kollywood films, much like Coolie. The movie releases in 2027 but a confirmed date is still unknown. As about Lokesh Kanagaraj, his next movie is Kaithi 2. He also has a movie with Aamir Khan in the pipeline. Coolie In Theatres

Coolie North America Collections: Rajinikanth's movie SHATTERS RECORDS with USD 2.9 million gross from premieres alone
Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, and starring Rajinikanth is having a bumper first day at the box office worldwide. It has been Coolie-Mania all around. Kollywood records have been broken by a margin, despite the high-profile clash with War 2. While the numbers are excellent everywhere, they are best in North America. The film has amassed USD 2.9 million from premieres alone, and that is around USD 1 million higher than the previous record-holder, Rajinikanth's own Kabali. Coolie Smashes USD 2.9 Million In North America For Premieres; Day 1 Will Comfortably Be Around USD 4 Million The day 1 collections of Coolie look to be over USD 1 million, setting it up well for an opening day of USD 4 million. With good weekend advances, the movie has bright chances to end up as the highest grossing Tamil movie of all time in this region. The word of mouth of the movie is just about average but the huge opening and excellent advances should take it comfortably to the finish line. Coolie's Global Opening Is Pegged At Over Rs 150 Crore Gross; Sets All Time Kollywood Record The global day 1 estimation of Coolie is pegged at around Rs 160 crore gross. The final day 1 collections will be shared officially, tomorrow. A Rs 400 crore extended global weekend can't be discounted with the way things are going for the Rajinikanth movie. The actor has yet again proven his strong initial pull. Even after 50 years, he is able to get audiences to theatres, and not just the Tamil audiences but also the other language audiences. Lokesh Kanagaraj has also, yet again proven that the fanbase that he enjoys as a director is second to probably just SS Rajamouli. Lokesh's frequency of films, which is much better than Rajamouli, keeps him in contention to even claim the top spot. Yes, based on the feedback, there's a lot of scope for improvement. Coolie, despite the record opening, may find itself unable to reach the kind of number that it could and should have reached, in its lifetime. Coolie In Theatres
