Stree 2 Movie Smashes Box Office Records: A ₹300 Crore Blockbuster in Just 5 Days
How Stree 2 Became One of 2024's Highest-Grossing Films, Surpassing Expectations and Setting New Benchmarks
Mumbai, August 21, 2024 – Stree 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2018 blockbuster Stree, is creating waves at the box office. Released on August 15, 2024, the film has quickly established itself as one of the biggest hits of the year, both domestically and internationally.
Explosive Opening Weekend In its opening weekend, Stree 2 amassed an impressive ₹204 crore net at the Indian box office, with a gross collection of ₹240.72 crore. This record-breaking performance has catapulted the film into the top ranks of 2024’s highest-grossing movies. The film’s worldwide gross currently stands at approximately ₹322.5 crore, making it the fourth highest-grossing Indian film of the year so far.
Holiday Boost and Strategic Release The film benefitted immensely from its release during the extended holiday period, coinciding with Independence Day and Raksha Bandhan. On Independence Day alone, Stree 2 earned a staggering ₹76.5 crore, while Raksha Bandhan contributed an additional ₹37 crore. These strategic holidays played a crucial role in driving high occupancy rates across major cities like Delhi-NCR, Bhopal, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, and Lucknow.
A Remarkable Sequel Directed by Amar Kaushik, Stree 2 reunites the original cast, including Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, and Abhishek Banerjee. The film’s success is a testament to the strong performances and the popularity of its predecessor. The movie, produced by Maddock Films and Jio Studios, was made on a modest budget of ₹50 crore, making its massive box office success even more noteworthy.
International Success Beyond Indian borders, Stree 2 has performed exceptionally well, raking in ₹43 crore from overseas markets. The global appeal of the film is evident as it continues to draw audiences, contributing significantly to its overall box office numbers.
Climbing the Ranks With its current momentum, Stree 2 is expected to surpass several other big releases of the year and could potentially become one of the top three highest-grossing films of 2024. It has already surpassed the lifetime collections of several other major hits, including the Hindi version of Kalki 2898 AD and Fighter.
Stree 2 has not only lived up to its expectations but has also set new benchmarks in the horror-comedy genre. As it continues its theatrical run, all eyes are on how far this blockbuster will go, both in India and globally.
