Thug Life Box Office Collection Day 2 Early Report

Kamal Haasan’s much-awaited film Thug Life hit the theatres on Thursday, June 5, 2025. Although released globally, it did not premiere in Karnataka due to an ongoing Kannada-Tamil language controversy. The absence from Karnataka may have affected its overall box office performance.

Occupancy rates also fell. On Thursday, average occupancy was around 50% during the day and 62% at night. On Friday, morning shows saw only 20% occupancy, afternoon shows 28%, and evening shows around 31%.
