Rajinikanth's Coolie Hits 100 Crore Advance Booking For The Opening Weekend
Chennai, August 13 - Superstar Rajinikanth is proving to be a real deal as, at the age of 75, he has once again displayed his unmatched box office dominance with his upcoming gangster action drama film Coolie. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film has achieved a monumental feat by crossing 100 crore in advance bookings for its opening weekend.



The film has already sold tickets worth over 50 crore in India, including around 38 crores for the opening day, spanning all languages. The overseas pre-sales are on the next level, scoring 60 crore gross for the weekend, including around 45 crores for the opening day. This remarkable overseas response is attributed to Rajinikanth's massive global fan base and the film's strong promotional campaign.



With a day still left for the release, Coolie has generated advance booking sales worth 110+ crores for the opening weekend, including 80+ crores gross for the opening day alone. Produced by Sun Pictures, Coolie is set for a worldwide release on August 14, just ahead of the Independence Day holiday.



Trade experts believe the combination of Rajinikanth's stardom, Lokesh Kanagaraj's proven track record in action thrillers, and the festive weekend could push the film to unprecedented opening numbers. With these advance booking figures, Coolie has already joined the league of the biggest Indian film launches ever, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with major Hindi and Telugu blockbusters in terms of pre-release business.



Now, all eyes are on its box office debut to see if it can convert this hype into historic collections. The movie will be released in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada.
