Stree 2 Strong Box Office Performance
Stree 2 had a remarkable opening, collecting ₹60.3 crores, securing the highest opening of the year. Despite stiff competition from John Abraham’s Vedaa and Akshay Kumar’s Vedaa, the horror-comedy maintained its dominance at the box office. Its unique blend of humour and horror captivated the audience and sustained its momentum throughout the first two weeks.
In Week 3, the film experienced a slight dip in collections but stayed strong due to the absence of major new releases. The film collected ₹5.35 crores on Day 22 (Thursday), bringing its total Hindi net box office collection to ₹503.25 crores and its worldwide collection to ₹717.75 crores.
Comparing with other blockbusters
Stree 2 has been competing fiercely with some of Bollywood’s biggest hits, including Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan and Pathaan, Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2, and Prabhas’ Baahubali 2. On Day 22, Stree 2 collected ₹5.35 crores, surpassing Gadar 2‘s ₹5.2 crores collection for the same day, making it the third-highest Day 22 collection after KGF 2 (₹6.3 crores) and Jawan (₹5.81 crores).
Moreover, Stree 2 became the second-fastest Bollywood film to cross the ₹500 crore mark in India, achieving this feat in 22 days, just behind Jawan, which reached the milestone in 18 days.
Will There Be a Stree 3?
Given the phenomenal success of the film, speculations have emerged about a third installment. In an interview with the Indian Express, actor Abhishek Banerjee, who plays Janaa in the franchise, confirmed that Stree 3 is in the works. Although it will take time to materialize, Banerjee hinted that parts of the script are already written, and the sequel promises to be “a big epic saga.”
