Scene worldwide box office collection day 6: Suriya film continues to fall as Ramayana soars, yet to cross ₹200 crore

Scene, Suriya's new film, is on its way to ₹200 crore but has lost a lot of its pace after a strong opening weekend.

After a strong start in its opening weekend and a solid Tuesday, Suriya’s latest film, Scene, has started to slide dramatically at the box office. The action entertainer saw two big dips in collections on Tuesday and Wednesday, almost completely arresting its momentum. It coincided with the big Hindi release, Ramayana, breaking midweek records on the same days, indicating that audiences are preferring the Hindi tentpole over the Tamil actioner.

Scene box office update

Scene had a strong opening in Tamil Nadu, where it weathered the Ramayana storm in its first weekend. The film earned ₹63 crore net domestically in its first weekend, adding ₹21 crore on Monday. But thereafter, it has been concerning for the Suriya-starrer. On Tuesday, Scene’s domestic collections fell by 40%. On Wednesday, it suffered another 37% drop in earnings in India, earning just over ₹8 crore net. Scene’s daily earnings have now entered single digits, and the film would need to recover well in its second weekend to have a shot at crossing ₹150 crore net in India. So far, the film’s domestic collections stand at ₹105 crore net ( ₹122 crore gross). The good news for Scene is that the film is still outpacing Suriya’s other two hits from 2026 - Karuppu and Viswanath and Sons.

Overseas, Scene began as a stupendous success, but has now lost its way there as well. On Wednesday, Scene earned just $450K in the international markets. This takes its overseas haul to an even $7 million. Each of its first three days brought in a million-dollar haul, but the film has lost pace now. This takes the film’s worldwide gross to ₹188 crore. The film should cross the ₹ 200-crore mark in the next two days, but it is progressing more slowly than initially expected. However, once it does so, Suriya will become the first Tamil star and only the third Indian actor to deliver three ₹200-crore hits in a single year. Only Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan have achieved the feat before him.
