A
Good
First
Weekend
96
opened
to
a
good
response
at
the
Chennai
box
office
on
Thursday
(October
4,
2018)
and
collected
Rs
47
Lakh
on
Day
1.
Thereafter,
it
remained
steady
over
the
next
three
days
and
managed
to
rake
in
the
moolah.
Its
4-day
gross
stands
at
Rs
1.87
Crore.
Not
Another
Junga,
Thankfully
Vijay
Sethupathi's
last
big
release
Junga
had
opened
better
than
96
at
the
Chennai
box
office
and
collected
Rs
52
Lakh
on
Day
1.
However,
it
had
fizzled
out
in
the
subsequent
days
and
emerged
as
a
disappointment.
96's
box
office
performance
indicates
that
it
has
clicked
with
the
fans
and
hence
it's
unlikely
to
do
a
Junga.
The
WOM
Is
Positive
The
general
feeling
is
that
96
is
a
terrific
film
that
features
a
solid
plot
and
a
captivating
screenplay.
VJS
and
Trisha
have
impressed
the
fans
with
their
terrific
and
crackling
performances.
As
such,
the
WOM
is
quite
positive
and
this
might
be
one
of
the
big
reasons
behind
it
doing
quite
well
over
the
weekend.
A
Big
Hit
In
The
Making?
Given
the
healthy
WOM,
96
is
likely
to
have
good
run
during
the
weekdays
as
well.
The
collections
for
Monday(October
8,
2018)
are
likely
to
be
a
bit
lower
that
the
weekend
collections.
However,
the
drop
might
not
be
too
significant.
The
film
is
likely
to
get
a
free
run
at
the
box
office
till
Vada
Chennai
arrives
in
theatres
on
October
17,
2018.
In
other
words,
it
is
set
to
emerge
as
a
big
hit.
