Scene North America Box Office: Suriya Scores His Fourth $1 Million Grosser in the USA and Canada

Suriya’s Scene has given the star his fourth $1 million grosser in North America — and his third of 2026. According to overseas tracking shared by Venky Box Office, the Tamil dark comedy collected about $1.34 million (about Rs 12.6 crore) in the United States and Canada in its first three days: $958,000 from the USA and $382,000 from Canada, with the Tamil version contributing $1.04 million. Monday added about $100,000 from 265 locations by early evening Pacific time. All figures are trade estimates, not producer figures.

The milestone puts Scene roughly $250,000 short of its $1.7 million North America breakeven on those figures, with Monday’s final tally still to come — about 85 per cent of the way there in four days. The opening set it up: $546,000 on day one including premieres made it Suriya’s second-biggest North American opening, behind Vishwanath & Sons ($676,000) and ahead of Kanguva ($445,000).

At home, the film keeps passing its own tests. Monday’s India net of Rs 21.25 crore was higher than the Rs 19.15 crore opening day, taking the four-day India net to Rs 84.40 crore and the worldwide gross to Rs 149.55 crore — just short of Rs 150 crore, a line it crossed on day five. Our Day 4 report is here and our Day 5 report is here. The Tamil version’s Monday net of Rs 17.85 crore ranks fifth among Kollywood’s highest first-Monday collections, passing Bigil and trailing only Leo, Ponniyin Selvan 2, Jailer and Jailer 2. The overseas share of the worldwide gross sits at roughly a third.

Here is the Filmverse take: the number that matters is not $1.34 million but three-in-a-year. Karuppu, Vishwanath & Sons and now Scene give Suriya three North American million-dollar grossers in a single calendar year, turning a hot streak into a market position. It also changes what Scene is: not a film fighting Ramayana for scraps, but a mid-budget Tamil title that found its own audience in the Gulf and North America while the epic took the headlines. The breakeven is now a matter of days, not weekends — and once it clears, every further dollar is the difference between a respectable Diwali run and Suriya’s most complete overseas success.
