The theatrical clash that began over the Gandhi Jayanti weekend has officially produced a clear winner. As both Vijay Sethupathi’s highly anticipated drama Baththa and Jason Sanjay’s directorial debut Sigma wrapped up their crucial second weekend, the gap between their respective box office performances widened significantly.
While Baththa capitalized on the weekend holiday advantage to draw massive family crowds, the heist drama Sigma, starring Sundeep Kishan, continued to struggle, failing to generate any substantial momentum.
Here is a comprehensive breakdown of the Day 11 box office collections, detailed occupancy rates, and the stark contrast in the theatrical runs of Baththa and Sigma.
A Strong Second Sunday for ‘Baththa’
Vijay Sethupathi’s Baththa is proving to be a highly resilient player at the ticket counters. After experiencing an 81% jump on Saturday, the film maintained its upward trajectory on its second Sunday (Day 11, October 11).
According to tracking portal Sacnilk, Baththa registered its highest collection of the weekend on Sunday, bringing in a solid ₹3.10 crore in domestic net collections. The continuous day-on-day growth proves that positive word-of-mouth has successfully penetrated the family audience demographic.
The increased screen allocation also played a massive role, with the film reporting 1,767 shows on Sunday. The overall occupancy for the Tamil 2D screenings stood at an impressive 42.63%, peaking during the afternoon shows at 54%. With the Day 11 collections accounted for, Baththa’s total India net collection now stands comfortably at ₹23.20 crore, with a domestic gross of ₹26.81 crore. The film has also successfully attracted over 1.93 million footfalls since its release.
Jason Sanjay’s ‘Sigma’ Continues to Struggle
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Sigma has failed to live up to its immense pre-release hype. Marking the directorial debut of Thalapathy Vijay’s son, Jason Sanjay, the film opened to mixed reviews and faced immense difficulty holding its ground against the competition.
On its 11th day (Sunday), Sigma managed to scrape together a mere ₹11 lakhs at the domestic box office. Despite slight weekend improvements compared to its weekday lows, the film’s overall performance remains heavily underwhelming.
By the end of its second weekend, the film’s total India net collection reached just ₹8.58 crore. Furthermore, the worldwide gross for the Sundeep Kishan starrer currently sits at a disappointing ₹9.74 crore, failing to even cross the double-digit mark globally after 11 days in theaters. Given the rapid drop in its screen count, trade analysts predict Sigma is nearing the end of its theatrical run.
