Master may beat the opening day numbers of Tenet in UAE which saw the best opening in UAE since cinemas reopened in late May. Tenet collected around $225k in August and Master has a chance to surpass this number. This number is for UAE only and not for all of Gulf.

So far only two films Tenet and Mulan have topped the $200k mark since last March and Master may well be the third. Even if all falls short it will still be huge achievement as Master is only playing on around 50 theatres while Tenet was 250 cinemas and Mulan was 200 cinemas.

The film has also grossed around A$250k plus in Australia and this may well turn out to be a top three opening ever in Australia for an Indian film. It is the highest for a Tamil film as 2.0 in 2018 with Tamil and Hindi was less. The collections in the Australian market are pretty normal and the market has not been affected by the pandemic too much especially over the Xmas and New Year period.

The final numbers from Australia maybe only be behind Bahubali - The Conclusion and Padmaavat.
