The highly anticipated directorial debut of Jason Sanjay, Sigma, has officially hit the theaters, but its box office journey seems to be encountering some early hurdles. Starring Sundeep Kishan and Faria Abdullah in the lead roles, the action-adventure heist thriller generated significant pre-release buzz, largely due to the pedigree of its debutant director.
However, after a decent opening on its first day, the film witnessed a noticeable drop in its collections on Day 2. With the critical opening weekend underway, the movie faces an uphill task to regain momentum and draw the masses back to the ticket windows.
Day 2 Box Office Breakdown: A 36.2% Drop
Following its release, Sigma received a mixed-to-positive response from audiences. While the high-octane heist sequences and Sundeep Kishan’s energetic performance were praised, the film struggled to maintain a solid grip on its second day.
According to trade reports from The Times of India, Sigma collected an estimated ₹1.50 crore net at the domestic box office on Day 2.
This figure represents a significant 36.2% drop from its opening day collections. Based on these estimates, the film’s Day 1 collection stood at approximately ₹2.35 crore, bringing its Total India Net Collection after two days to roughly ₹3.85 crore.
The drop is a point of concern for the makers, considering that Saturday usually sees an upward trend for commercially appealing films. The occupancy rates across major centers in Tamil Nadu and the Telugu-speaking states remained average throughout the morning and afternoon shows, with only a marginal improvement during the evening screenings.
The Road Ahead: A Crucial Sunday
Backed by Lyca Productions and featuring a pulsating background score by S. Thaman, Sigma boasts high production values and an engaging premise involving a ₹500 crore underworld deal. However, to translate this grand scale into box office success, the film desperately needs a strong turnaround.
With Sunday (Day 3) being a prime movie-going day, the team behind Sigma will be hoping for a massive surge in walk-ins, particularly from the youth and college-going demographics. To secure a safe trajectory for the upcoming weekdays, the film must aim to cross the ₹6 to ₹7 crore mark by the end of its first weekend.
