Nayanthara’s highly anticipated fantasy-comedy, Mookuthi Amman 2, officially opened in theaters on Friday, November 6, 2026. Directed by Sundar C, the film carries the legacy of its highly successful prequel. However, releasing amidst a massive box office clash against Suriya’s action-drama Scene and the monumental pan-India epic Ramayana: Part 1, the Nayanthara-starrer has struggled to find its footing on its opening day.
Despite decent pre-release buzz, the film took a significantly slow start at the ticket counters, failing to match the initial momentum of its competitors.
Here is the complete box office breakdown for Day 1 of Mookuthi Amman 2, including its live domestic net, occupancy rates, and advance booking numbers!
Day 1 Box Office: A Slow Start
Mookuthi Amman 2 concluded its opening day advance booking with ₹1.37 crore gross, selling 91,468 tickets. While this provided a reasonable base, the walk-in audience turnout on Friday was noticeably underwhelming.
According to late-night live tracking data from Sacnilk (as of 10:03 PM IST), the film collected an estimated ₹1.83 crore net in India on its opening day. Correspondingly, the Day 1 India Gross stands at ₹2.16 crore. The film operated across roughly 1,877 shows nationwide, but struggled to generate the high footfalls expected of a major festive release.
In direct comparison, Suriya’s Scene, which released on the same day, took a massive early lead, minting an estimated ₹13.54 crore net on its opening day.
Theater Occupancy and Regional Performance
The original Tamil 2D version accounted for 100% of the film’s Day 1 collections. Overall, Mookuthi Amman 2 registered a low 17.31% average occupancy across the state.
The footfalls remained consistently low throughout the day, starting with 14.31% in the morning, bumping slightly to 17.62% in the afternoon, and peaking at just 20.00% during the evening shows.
Regionally, Pondicherry delivered the best performance with a 40.0% occupancy rate. In major metropolitan areas, Chennai retained 363 shows and recorded a 28.7% occupancy. Meanwhile, cities like Coimbatore (17.0%), Madurai (20.3%), and Bengaluru (13.7%) registered strictly average footfalls.
The Weekend Outlook
Given the underwhelming ₹1.83 crore start, Mookuthi Amman 2 is heavily reliant on a massive jump over the Saturday and Sunday weekend. However, with Suriya’s Scene dominating the regional Tamil market and Ramayana: Part 1 occupying major premium screens across the country, securing additional screens and audience attention will be an uphill battle for the Nayanthara-starrer.
