The Greatest of All Time (GOAT) – Strong Overseas Advance Bookings
Thalapathy Vijay’s upcoming film The Greatest of All Time (GOAT), scheduled for release on September 5th, has commenced its advance bookings in the overseas market, specifically in the UK and Norway, with four weeks still remaining until its release. The response to the advance booking has been blockbuster. Approximately 24 hours after opening limited bookings, the film has garnered significant earnings. In the UK, bookings have reached $45,000, while in Norway, they stand at $15,000. This totals the film’s advance booking from Norway and the UK to $60,000, which converts to approximately 50 lakh in Indian currency. Achieving 50 lakh in advance bookings within a few hours, with a month still to go until release, is a substantial feat. Advance bookings are expected to increase further in the coming days. The film’s day one performance will be keenly watched, drawing comparisons to Vijay’s previous film Leo, which earned 148 crore on its opening day.
