Early report on day 1's box office collection for Stree 2: Tickets for the Rajkummar Rao-Shraddha Kapoor movie have sold over 8 lakh. Stree 2's complete dominance at the box office is remarkable because it did so in the face of a three-way competition, with two other films starring A-list actors.
From the first day of its release, the horror comedy Stree 2, starring actors Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, has broken records. The movie, which opened in theaters on August 15, is doing incredibly well at the box office and has established itself as one of the greatest advance bookings ever.
A day prior to its nationwide premiere on Thursday, Stree 2 had a few paid previews starting at 9:30 PM, which received a resounding response and broke box office records. The horror comedy shattered Shah Ruk Khan's Chennai Express's long-standing paid preview record, which stood at Rs 6.75 cr nett in 2013. Based on early trade estimates, Stree 2 has become the highest-grossing movie, earning about Rs 8 crore.
Stree 2 has surpassed some of the largest movies ever made in terms of advance ticket sales on the first day of release, so the paid preview is not the only record it has set. On August 14, the day before its general release, Stree 2 sold 3,92,000 tickets (not including paid previews) throughout the country's multiplex chains for the first day of operation.
Stree 2 is sixth on the list of movies with the most advance bookings, behind movies like Jawan (5,57,000), Pathaan (5,56,000), KGF 2 Hindi (5,15,000), Animal (4,60,000), and War (4,10,000).
Stree 2 is crushing it when it comes to total advance sales, selling 8,24, 483 tickets in multiplexes and single screens. According to Sacnilk, the gross collection for the same is an incredible Rs 23.36 cr.
The fact that Stree 2 was able to dominate the box office despite facing two films starring A-list actors in a three-way competition is remarkable. With the release of John Abraham's action picture Vedaa and Akshay Kumar's comedy Khel Khel Mein, Stree 2 had a dismal opening weekend for ticket sales for both movies.
Khel Khel Mein sold only 28,000 tickets in national multiplex chains, but its total sales were 47,202, earning Rs 1.54 cr in revenue. Vedaa did poorly as well, with 61,040 in overall sales and 22,000 ticket sales in national chains. The actioner's total ticket sales come to Rs 1.49 cr.
The industry anticipates that Stree 2 will take an opening of Rs 40 cr, and because paid previews have already brought in Rs 8 cr, the total revenue for the first day may perhaps exceed Rs 50 cr. The opening budgets for Vedaa and Khel Khel Mein are estimated to be between Rs 5-7 cr.
