At the box office, Thiruchitrambalam had a fantastic third weekend, earning about Rs. 5 crores. This weekend’s performance was down 57% from the previous weekend, which is a fairly solid hold in the face of a significant new release like Cobra. Due to the cancellation of screenings, it did experience a significant decline in revenue after the release of Cobra last Wednesday. After a strong start, Cobra was unable to maintain itself, and Thiruchitrambalam continued to advance over the next few days. Thiruchitrambalam’s share of Cobra in Tamil Nadu climbed from less than 5% on Wednesday to 45% yesterday. The movie will soon surpass Cobra in daily statistics, which might as well occur during the weekdays.
