The Diwali box office clash between ‘Scene’, starring Suriya, and ‘Mookuthi Amman 2’, featuring Nayanthara, is catching eyeballs since both the films are set to hit the big screens on November 6. Though both the movies are predicted to attract viewers during the festival weekend, there lies an obvious difference in advance bookings. Suriya’s ‘Scene’ has taken a strong lead in ticket sales, while ‘Mookuthi Amman 2’ is yet to catch up. Both films have opened bookings across multiple show dates, with Chennai emerging as an important market for the two releases.
Suriya’s film crosses Rs 16 crore in advance bookings
According to Sacnilk, ‘Scene’ has collected Rs 16.86 crore through advance bookings across six show dates in India. Excluding blocked seats, the film’s advance booking collection stands at Rs 14.37 crore. The opening day has contributed the biggest share, with the film recording Rs 8.80 crore in advance sales on Friday, November 6. Without blocked seats, the Day 1 collection stands at Rs 7.84 crore. Chennai leads the film’s advance bookings with Rs 5.16 crore, including Rs 4.46 crore without blocked seats. The numbers indicate strong interest in Suriya’s latest release ahead of its opening, and the film might eye more than Rs 50 crore on Day 1.
‘Mookuthi Amman 2’ advance booking: Nayanthara’s film collects Rs 3.40 crore
Meanwhile, Nayanthara’s ‘Mookuthi Amman 2’ has recorded Rs 3.40 crore in advance bookings across six show dates, according to the report. The collection stands at Rs 2.66 crore after excluding blocked seats. For the opening day, the film has sold tickets worth Rs 1.12 crore, while the figure without blocked seats is Rs 86.31 lakh. Chennai leads the city-wise advance booking numbers with Rs 46.85 lakh. Excluding blocked seats, the city’s contribution stands at Rs 38.99 lakh. Although the film is trailing ‘Scene’ in advance sales, its theatrical performance will become clearer after the first shows.
Suriya leads ahead of the Diwali clash
‘Scene’ is clearly ahead of ‘Mookuthi Amman 2’ in advance bookings, with nearly five times the ticket sales. However, audience reviews and word of mouth will decide how both films perform at the box office. Their opening weekend will show whether Nayanthara’s film can close the gap or Suriya’s film can maintain its lead.DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and the data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
