\"CoolieCoolie North America Box Office: Fails To Achieve Breakeven (Photo Credit \u2013 Instagram)<\/p>\n

Rajinikanth\u2019s Coolie has underperformed big time at the North American box office (USA and Canada). Backed by solid pre-sales, it did manage to register the biggest Kollywood opening of all time, but with mixed word-of-mouth coming into play, it lost its steam much earlier than expected. However, all thanks to an extraordinary start, it ended up being the highest-grossing Tamil film in the territory. Keep reading for a detailed report!<\/p>\n

The combination of Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj attracted massive footfalls in the advance booking stage. It received tremendous support from the Telugu diaspora in the USA. As a result, created an all-time record by earning $3.04 million through premieres alone. Overall, it posted a mind-blowing $3.95 million on day 1 (including premieres), registering the biggest opening for a Tamil film.<\/p>\n

How much did Coolie earn at the North American box office?<\/p>\n

After a fantastic start, Coolie<\/a> was expected to do historic business and become Kollywood\u2019s first $7 million grosser at the North American box office. However, it witnessed a shocking downfall right after the opening day. As per the recent update by Prathyangira Cinemas (North American distributor), the magnum opus has earned $6.95 million (61.36 crores).<\/p>\n

Turns out to be a failure<\/p>\n

Considering the huge potential, the distribution rights for the North American territory were sold at a high price, and Coolie\u2019s breakeven target was set at $7.5 million. Against this target, the film is heading towards a lifetime collection of below $7 million, thus emerging as a failure for the distributor. The result is shocking as it earned almost $4 million on the opening day.<\/p>\n
