's highly anticipated collaboration 'Thug Life' may have generated significant pre-release buzz, but the box office numbers so far reflect a slow start for the mega project.
After witnessing a sharp dip on Day 2, the film showed a marginal improvement on its third day. According to early estimates reported by the Sacnilk website, 'Thug Life' earned Rs 7.50 crore on Saturday, taking its three-day India net total to Rs 30.15 crore across all languages.
Modest uptick on Saturday
Following its opening day collection of Rs 15.5 crore, the film saw a drastic 53.87% drop on Friday, with only Rs 7.15 crore in earnings. However, on Saturday, the film saw a modest rebound, collecting an estimated Rs 7.50 crore.
This modest rise suggests some weekend momentum, although it is still short of initial expectations for a film of this scale and star power.
Tamil Nadu occupancy brings hope
The Tamil 2D occupancy on Saturday stood at 39.12%, offering some signs of engagement from local audiences. Chennai led the charge with 54.25% occupancy, peaking at 64% during night shows. Other regions like Madurai and Coimbatore hovered around 30–33%, with night show turnout improving slightly.

IMAX 2D versions in Tamil also saw improved footfalls later in the day, with night shows reaching 48.23% occupancy. These figures suggest growing interest over the weekend, although still limited to specific urban pockets.
Hindi belt yet to respond
The film's performance in the Hindi-speaking belt remains underwhelming. With just 8.92% average occupancy on Saturday and morning shows starting as low as 3.94%, Thug Life faces a significant uphill battle to connect with the North Indian audience. Despite Kamal Haasan's pan-India appeal, the film's underwhelming reviews from the audiences has drastically affected it's box office performance all over.
