BY CHRISTA LINCY
Blast has just finished its third weekend at the box office, and for a South Indian production in its late run, the sustainability is quite impressive. On Day 18, the movie brought in a gross collection of 3.04 crore, which is a 16.5 percent growth from the 2.61 crore gross earned on Saturday. This brings the total India gross collections to 53.64 crore after three weeks of theatrical play.

Starting from a gross of 1.49 crore on Friday, the film jumped significantly to 2.61 crore on Saturday before peaking at 3.04 crore on Sunday. This weekend surge has pushed the overall India net to 46.65 crore. When you factor in the overseas gross of 14.05 crore, the total worldwide gross collection now stands at 67.69 crore. This performance has officially made Blast the 5th highest-grossing Kollywood movie of 2026 globally. Tamil Nadu continues to be the primary stronghold, but the contributions from Kerala and Karnataka have been vital in pushing the total higher. Here is the cumulative state-wise gross breakdown for the 3rd weekend: Tamil Nadu: ₹4.31 Cr (Fri: ₹0.61 Cr | Sat: ₹1.75 Cr | Sun: ₹1.95 Cr) Kerala: ₹1.55 Cr (Fri: ₹0.30 Cr | Sat: ₹0.55 Cr | Sun: ₹0.70 Cr) Karnataka: ₹0.79 Cr (Fri: ₹0.46 Cr | Sat: ₹0.15 Cr | Sun: ₹0.18 Cr) APTG: ₹0.47 Cr (Fri: ₹0.12 Cr | Sat: ₹0.15 Cr | Sun: ₹0.20 Cr) Rest of India: ₹0.02 Cr (Fri: ₹0.00 Cr | Sat: ₹0.01 Cr | Sun: ₹0.01 Cr) 3rd Weekend Total India Gross: ₹7.14 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the occupancy levels, the film managed to attract a healthy 27.5 percent overall occupancy on Sunday across 2,038 shows. In Chennai, the occupancy was even stronger at 40 percent across 273 shows, with afternoon shows hitting the 50 percent mark. Coimbatore also maintained a steady 29.5 percent occupancy. These urban numbers, combined with the 1.95 crore gross from Tamil Nadu alone on Sunday, prove that the film still has enough legs to draw audiences even after 18 days in theaters. National chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis also saw a visible weekend uptick. On Sunday, these chains sold approximately 10,206 tickets, resulting in a gross of 16.36 lakh at a healthy occupancy of 20.88 percent. PVR was the primary contributor here with 7,042 tickets and a gross of 11.47 lakh. Across the entire third weekend, over 25,100 tickets were sold through these major chains. On BookMyShow, the movie recorded sales of 37,290 tickets in the last 24 hours of Sunday, taking its total ticket sales on the platform to over 1.07 million.

Currently, it sits behind Karuppu (308.03 crore), Parasakthi (85.10 crore), Thaai Kizhavi (82.02 crore), and Youth (71.73 crore). To reach the 4th spot, the film needs another 4.04 crore in gross collections. Given that it earned 7.14 crore gross over just this weekend, reaching the 72 crore mark globally looks like a very realistic goal before its theatrical run concludes. The total show count for Blast has now reached 37,092 shows. While it started on a relatively quieter note compared to some mega-budget releases, its ability to grow by over 16 percent on its third Sunday is a clear sign of stability. As it enters its fourth week, the film will need to navigate the usual weekday drop, but the 53.64 crore domestic gross ensures that it is finishing as a successful venture for the year.
