Looks like Stree 2 has cast a spell that just won't fade! The Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor-led horror-comedy has been scaring the competition away at the box office for over two weeks now. On its 16th day, the film pulled in a solid Rs 7.75 crore, bringing its domestic total to an impressive Rs 440.
8 crore. That's right, folks—this spooky sequel has taken over the box office like a poltergeist with no plans to leave. Directed by Amar Kaushik, Stree 2 had audiences rushing to the night shows on Friday, with an overall occupancy of 17.
25%. The horror-comedy had over 4000 shows across India and was pulling in crowds left, right, and center, particularly in Mumbai (18.5% occupancy with 968 shows) and Delhi-NCR (18% with 1038 shows).
Even Ahmedabad, which hosted 588 shows, wasn't spared from Stree 2's reign of terror, with a respectable 12.25% occupancy. A post shared by Maddock Films (@maddockfilms) Maddock Films must be laughing all the way to the bank (or perhaps a haunted mansion), as they reported a Rs 453.
6 crore net haul in India after just 15 days. With global collections hovering around Rs 650 crore, Stree 2 is officially the second-biggest hit of the year, only trailing behind the gargantuan Kalki 2898 AD, which surpassed Rs 1000 crore worldwide. And in the Hindi film circuit, Stree 2 even exorcised Fighter from the top spots in its first week—talk about ghosting the competition! The second week saw Stree 2 flex its box office muscles, securing the second-highest second-week haul in Indian cinema history, right behind Baahubali 2: The Conclusion.
It left heavyweights like Gadar 2, Jawan, and Animal eating its spooky dust. And with no major releases to compete with this weekend, the film is poised to keep the box office haunted for a bit longer. Stree 2—the fifth chapter in Dinesh Vijan’s growing horror-comedy universe—is continuing the legacy of its 2018 predecessor in style.
With fan-favorite Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor reprising their roles alongside talents like Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana. Released on Independence Day Stree 2 gave tough competition to Akshay Kumar’s Khel Khel Mein and John Abraham’s Vedaa, both of which tanked at the box office..
