Stree 2 has been on a record-breaking roll at the box office, and is now among the highest-grossing Indian films of all time. The horror comedy, starring Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee and Aparshakti Khurana, was released in cinemas on August 15. After completing two weeks in cinemas, the film has raked in a massive Rs 432.8 crore nett at the domestic box office.
According to industry tracking website Sacnilk, Stree 2, directed by filmmaker Amar Kaushik, earned Rs 8.25 crore on Thursday, registering its lowest single-day earnings since its release on August 15. While the earnings of the film are diminishing every day, the film’s overall business has been gold. Stree 2 has also crossed the Rs 600 crore mark at the worldwide box office and has emerged as one of the top 10 highest-grossing Hindi movies of all time.
On Thursday, the movie observed 16.50 percent overall Hindi occupancy, with most people catching the film’s night show. In Mumbai, where there were 1085 shows, the film witnessed an occupancy of 17 percent. In Delhi and NCR, the occupancy observed was 17 percent for 1229 shows. Globally, the film had crossed the Rs 630 crore mark earlier this week, on Tuesday. While its earnings are expected to fall further as the week goes by, Stree 2 is expected to smoothly enter its third weekend in cinemas.
Stree 2 has already surpassed the box office records of KGF Chapters 1 and 2. As the film enters its third week in cinemas, it is expected to take on the records of Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal which earned Rs 505 crore in India, SS Rajamouli’s epic Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, which warned Rs 511 crore in the Hindi language, and Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan and Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2, which stand at Rs 524 crore and Rs 525 crore, respectively. Stree 2 is likely to continue to perform well over the next weekend, as it enjoys an open run with no new films releasing this Friday.
