MUMBAI : Is this the week that Bollywood will experience joy? Based on the appearance of things, that is what the trading circle believes. Preliminary projections indicate that Stree 2 will have the largest opening day in Hindi movie history in 2024, with over R40 crore on its first day.
With that amount, it would eclipse the first-day receipts of Fighter and the Hindi version of Kalki 2898 AD, which had both debuted in the region of Rs 25 crore each.
Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor's horror comedy made Rs 4.52 crore from the 2D version alone as early reservations began on Sunday. Prior to its release on August 15, over 2 lakh tickets are anticipated to be sold.
As per a trade expert, “I am expecting an opening day figure of Rs 40-45 crore. It has also smartly lined up paid previews with two shows in select theatres on Wednesday. Its opening weekend earnings could be in the range of
Rs 120 crore.”
Vedaa, starring John Abraham-Sharvari, and Khel Khel Mein, starring Akshay Kumar, are expected to debut between Rs 5 crore and R9 crore. The success of the 2018 original greatly benefits Stree 2, according to Vishek Chauhan, the owner of a chain of theaters in Bihar. With the triple treat, he hopes the box office slump will come to an end.
Vishek said, “It’s a good week at the movies. Stree 2 would have opened above Rs 50 crore if it wasn’t for Vedaa and Khel Khel Mein.”
Manoj Desai of G7 cinemas said, “All three films are welcome. We just hope that people return to theatres. That said, as a single-screen and multiplex owner, this [three-way] clash has been difficult to navigate.”
