After performing below–average at the box office, Liger is quickly being removed from South Indian cinemas. Most shows on Monday have been cancelled across Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka, with similar low turnouts in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. It appears that the movie has failed to draw in any meaningful audience numbers.
As per initial forecasts, the film registered a net sum of Lakhs on Monday and had accumulated nearly one crore gross from the Southern region. After its four-day showing, it acquired an approximate gross revenue of Rs. 26.50 crores, reaching a total of Rs. 27.50 crores by the end of its five-day stint. For those unfamiliar with the information, Liger had a total haul of Rs. 17 crores on Monday, but has since faced drastic drops in collection each consecutive day.
Liger has not fared well in the South Indian market, its lifetime collections amounting to a meager Rs. 32 crores; consequently resulting in a massive loss of Rs. 50 crores to distributors. The movie now stands as part of an infamous elite club that contains other disasters such as Acharya, oft referred to as double disasters in the region.
Monday’s stock markets in India have seen a significant dip, and we will bring a comprehensive report before the day ends.
