Stree 2 Box Office: Stays close to double digits, crosses Rs. 460 crores

After getting into the single digits for the first time in its run on Thursday when Rs. 9.10 crores had come in, Stree 2 continues to score a single digit as Rs. 9.25 crores came at the box office. This was on the cards as well as there was no new notable release this Friday and hence the ground was wide open for Stree 2 to make merry. Lack of new competition has turned out to a real boon for the film since last week as it has been having a rather uninterrupted run.

The film has collected Rs. 462.85 crores already and what’s to be seen is whether over Rs. 38 crores come between today and tomorrow to give it a chance of entering the Rs. 500 Crores Club over the weekend itself. Last weekend, the film had seen huge growth from Friday to Saturday with collections almost doubling up. If that miracle happens all over again this weekend, then Rs. 500 crores is set to be surpassed by Sunday.

However, if the growth is regular like 50%-60% then this would take time because, unlike last two Sundays when Mondays were Rakshabandhan and Janmaashtami holidays (due to which collections continued to be good in the evening and night shows as well), there isn’t any festival this Monday which means Sunday growth over Saturday would be nominal.

Nonetheless, this has turned out to be a huge haul for Stree 2 and pretty soon it would be time for all involved to pop the champagne. The exhibition sector really needed a big one to keep theatres in circulation during this dull time period and the horror comedy has come as a pleasant surprise for everyone as a whiff of fresh air.
