Beast has already recorded massive advance booking sales in the US and Australia. It has already overtaken the lifetime collection of Thala Ajith’s Valimai in both countries. The film is slated to take a rollicking start overseas, but how much is it expected to do domestically?
Beast is slated to open at a ₹35 crore gross, which will place it well past the day 1 record of Vijay’s Sarkar (₹33 crore gross) in the state. Beast is expected to do it on a non-holiday.
Thalapathy Vijay’s Beast courted controversy in the Middle East, with objections being raised over its portrayal of Muslims. Kuwait was the first to ban the movie, with Qatar soon following suit. An Islamist group from Tamil Nadu, too, has sought a ban on the movie.
