The business of Sivakarthikeyan's Remo remained solid in its third weekend in Chennai. The movie has turned out to be the actor's biggest hit in the capital city of Tamil Nadu.
The Sivakarthikeyan-starrer had 237 shows in its third weekend from which it has minted Rs 80.49 lakh. The total collection of Remo in Chennai now stands at Rs 6.46 crore, reports Behindwoods. Remo has now beaten Sivakarthikeyan's previous best of Rs 3.60 crore set by his earlier flick Rajini Murugan in the capital city of Tamil Nadu.
Prabhu Deva's Devi is in the second position for the second consecutive week in Chennai. From 195 shows, the movie has earned Rs 47.61 lakh to take its total tally to Rs 2.11 crore. Going by the good word-of-mouth, the screen count was increased by the distributors which helped the film to do a good business.
Hollywood movie Jack Reacher: Never Go Back has opened to good response in Chennai by collecting Rs 34.86 lakh from 126 shows. No big movies were released last weekend and this factor played a major role in its success, say trade experts.

Vijay Sethupathi's Rekka has not lived up to the viewers' expectations and it is reflecting in the collections.
