Sigma’s opening week haul: 8.27 crore nett. That’s 27.57% of its 30-crore budget. And it’s not even close to being a win. The film, Jason Sanjay’s directorial debut, has already lost momentum — hard. After a decent first day, driven by curiosity around Thalapathy Vijay (now CM of Tamil Nadu), the numbers dropped sharply. By Monday, daily collections were under 1 crore. On Thursday, just 66 lakh from 1,249 screens. No revival. No surprise. Just a slow fade into the noise before Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 storms theaters next week. The film’s net total? 8.27 crore. Gross: 9.76 crore. A loss on paper. But also, a cautionary tale in timing. It was released after multiple delays, riding on pre-release buzz across South India. Yet reviews, described as average. Sank it from Day 2. Sundeep Kishan leads, Lyca Productions backs it, Thaman S. Scores the music. Still, no magic. Not even a ripple. Trade sources say it’s unlikely to cross 10 crore in total. And with Jailer 2 looming, Sigma won’t get a second chance. Its run ends in a week. The real box office reckoning begins when the next big name arrives.
