Bigil has already fetched the second best pre-release business ever for a Tamil film with over Rs 210 crore. This includes revenues from digital, satellite, audio, and branding rights. Bigil's global pre-release theatrical business is also expected to be around Rs 140 crore which is third-highest after Rajinikanth's 2.0 and Kabali. The current record for biggest Tamil release is held by Ajith's Viswasam (Rs 134 crore lifetime total).

Interestingly, Bigil will clash with Kaithi at the box office. However, Karthi is hopeful that his film will also get decent number of screens.

Speaking on the clash with Bigil, the actor recently said that Bigil is the big movie, which will get a lion's share of screens.. but Kaithi will also get good number of screens. He added that if Petta and Viswasam can release on the same day, why not Bigil and Kaithi. Vijay's last two releases Mersal and Sarkar have made more than Rs 70 crore each at the box office.
