totaled $55,738 across 182 locations, with 298 shows and 3,791 tickets sold but on day 1 the film was able to earn just over US $ 40,000 in the United States indicating that the film has not managed to connect with the audience. With a breakeven point set at $875,000 in the US makers, these figures suggest a challenging path ahead for the film's financial success in this market.

This performance is particularly surprising given the film's earlier momentum. The trailer for Robinhood garnered over 13 million views in just 5 days. The trailer's blend of humor and action, coupled with Nithiin's energetic performance and stylish visuals, contributed to this enthusiastic reception.

As the film continues its theatrical run, its performance in other markets and subsequent weeks will be crucial in determining its overall success.
