Theri Re-Release Box Office: Thalapathy Vijay Loses Charm With A Surprising Decline In BMS Sales On Saturday!

The trend of re-releases has taken the South Indian film industry by storm, but it seems that the fatigue is finally hitting hard, since even the might of Thalapathy Vijay is losing its charm. While Jan Nayagan awaits its release, fans are being treated to cult classics of the superstar. Last weekend it was Ghilli, and this weekend it is Theri, which is performing at a decent pace at the ticket window!

The 2016 film directed by Atlee was re-released on February 27, and in two days, it has maintained its pace at the ticket window, hitting a total ticket sales of 11.6K in two days. However, usually, for a popular re-release, Saturday and Sunday witness a massive spike as the nostalgia hits!

Theri has shown a downward trend on its second day, Saturday, February 28. After a modest start on Friday, Thalapathy Vijay‘s film failed to grow, showing a decline in ticket sales on BookMyShow.

For a superstar who usually shatters records with his new releases, a total of 11.6K tickets over two days is a surprisingly low figure, especially when compared to the frenzy surrounding recent re-releases of his contemporaries.

The biggest concern for Theri is its standing among the all-time re-release giants. The current scoreboard is dominated by Ghilli, and Theri is nowhere close to touching these numbers at the current pace.

Ghilli: 535K
Padayappa: 315K
Mankatha: 260K
Sachein: 250K

While Theri remains a beloved film in Vijay’s filmography, its re-release performance at the ticket window is unimpressive. Starring Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Amy Jackson, the official synopsis of the film says, “When his daughter’s life is endangered by a local gang, Joseph Kuruvilla will do whatever it takes to stop them. However, at the same time, his dangerous past slowly resurfaces.”
