Drishyam 3 Reaches Mid‑Hundreds in Opening Week as Monday Sales Slip

Trade trackers say strong weekend turnout and heavy overseas receipts pushed estimated global totals into the mid‑hundreds of crores, prompting close focus on weekday sustainability.

Overview

  • The Mohanlal thriller opened in theatres on May 21 and ran a strong extended weekend that industry trackers say produced worldwide totals in the mid‑Rs 100‑crore range by the end of the first week.
  • Trade estimates from Sacnilk and collated outlets report Day 4 India net around Rs 13.9 crore and overseas Day‑4 receipts near Rs 13 crore, lifting four‑day worldwide totals to roughly Rs 141 crore.
  • Sources show the film registered a sharp weekday decline on its first Monday with an India net estimate near Rs 7.35 crore, which pushed five‑day worldwide tallies into roughly the Rs 150–157 crore band depending on the tracker.
  • Language and territory splits kept the Malayalam version and Kerala as the main domestic drivers while Gulf, North America, the UK and Australia supplied a large share of overseas revenue.
  • Box‑office lists shifted quickly in daily updates with the film moving into the top‑10 then top‑8 highest‑grossing Malayalam films in some trackers, and trade commentary says sustained weekday holds will determine whether estimated receipts cover unconfirmed production costs.
