Vijay Sethupathi Brings His 3rd Lowest Opener Post-COVID, 900% Higher Than The Lowest Opening!

Vijay Sethupathi’s latest release Ace has arrived in the theaters on May 23 and the film opened to mixed response. This dicey word-of-mouth has translated into a low-key start for the film at the box office. The romantic crime comedy has brought one of the lowest openings for the actor post-COVID.

Vijay Sethupathi’s 3rd Lowest Opening

Helmed by Arumuga Kumar and also starring Yogi Babu and Rukmini Vasanth, the romantic crime comedy has registered the third lowest opening day number for Vijay Sethupathi, surpassing the opening day collection of only two of his films post-COVID – Maamanithan’s 60 lakh, and Kadaisi Vivasayi’s 10 lakh.

Ace Box Office Collection Day 1

On the opening day, Friday, May 23, Ace earned a net collection of only 1 crore at the box office, which is too low for a Vijay Sethupathi film. The actor was witnessing a high in his career with Maharaja and Viduthalai Part 2. Hopefully, the film will buckle with its weekend numbers.
