Breaking down the occupancy by regions, Mirai showed exceptional performance in key centers. Hyderabad led the charge with an overall occupancy of 85.50%, registering near full houses during night shows at 96%, and strong numbers throughout the day. Similarly, Visakhapatnam saw an impressive occupancy of 91.25%, with shows almost completely sold out in the evening and night slots, hitting up to 98%. Vijayawada and Warangal also delivered excellent numbers, with overall occupancies of 84% each, supported by high evening and night show percentages, indicating strong urban and semi-urban appeal, as per Sacnilk data.

Other regions contributed notably as well. Guntur recorded an 85.75% overall occupancy, bolstered by a solid 91% morning show occupancy. Kakinada showed an 86.50% occupancy, with night shows crossing the 95% threshold. Mahbubnagar stood out with a perfect 100% occupancy in afternoon, evening, and night shows, albeit with a smaller number of theaters (3 shows), indicating localized enthusiasm.

On the other hand, some regions showed comparatively moderate reception. Bengaluru recorded an overall occupancy of 43.75%, reflecting a lower but decent performance outside the Telugu heartland.

Similarly, Mumbai and NCR showed weaker performance with 34% and 21.50% overall occupancy, respectively, indicating limited appeal in Hindi-speaking areas for now. Nizamabad registered the lowest occupancy at 34.75%, signaling an area where the film struggled to gain traction.

How Much Has Mirai Made On First Day?

Mirai is estimated to have earned approximately ₹12 crore on its opening day alone, a remarkable achievement for a regional film. The strong footfall, particularly in Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Vizag, and Guntur, highlights the film's potential to sustain momentum over the weekend. The positive word-of-mouth, driven by solid performances and engaging content, is expected to support the film in the coming days, potentially making it one of the biggest hits of the year in the Telugu market.
