Stree 2 Smashes Box Office on Day 1: 6 Unbelievable Records Broken
“Stree 2” has stormed the box office with an extraordinary opening day collection, setting multiple records on its debut. Released on August 15, 2024, the film benefitted from the Independence Day holiday in India, bringing in massive crowds to the theaters.
The horror-comedy, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, made a remarkable impact on its first day by collecting a whopping ₹46 crore nett. Adding ₹8.35 crore from the Wednesday paid previews, the total collection reached ₹54.35 crore, making it one of the most successful Bollywood openers of the year.
Let’s take a closer look at the six significant records “Stree 2” shattered on its opening day:
1. Biggest Bollywood Opener of 2024
“Stree 2” not only met but exceeded the industry’s expectations, becoming the highest-grossing Bollywood film on its opening day in 2024. With its ₹46 crore collection, it more than doubled the figures of previous big hits like “Fighter” and “Kalki 2898,” which both earned ₹22.6 crore on their first day.
2. Shraddha Kapoor’s Career-Best Opener
Previously, Shraddha Kapoor’s highest first-day collection was with “Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar,” which grossed ₹15.73 crore. “Stree 2” has now set a new benchmark for her, achieving nearly three times that amount, a record that is expected to stand strong for a long time.
3. Rajkummar Rao’s Biggest Opening Film
Rajkummar Rao, celebrated for his versatile acting, has hit a career milestone with “Stree 2.” For the first time, a film led by Rao has opened with double-digit earnings, establishing him as a strong box office contender.
4. 7th Biggest Hindi Opener of All Time
By earning ₹46 crore on its first day, “Stree 2” has outperformed major blockbusters like “Baahubali 2” (Hindi), which opened with ₹41 crore, and “Tiger 3,” which earned ₹43 crore. If we include the paid previews, making the total ₹54.35 crore, “Stree 2” ranks as the 4th biggest opener in Bollywood history, only behind “Animal” (₹54.75 crore), “Pathaan” (₹55 crore), and “Jawan” (₹65.5 crore).
5. Highest Opening for a Horror Film in Bollywood
“Stree 2” has set a new standard for horror-comedy films in India, crossing the ₹40 crore mark on its opening day—a feat never before achieved by a film in this genre. The previous best was “Golmaal Again,” which earned ₹30.14 crore on its first day.
6. Top Opening for a Hindi Film Sequel/Franchise
Surpassing “Tiger 3,” which grossed ₹43 crore on its opening day, “Stree 2” has become the highest-grossing Hindi film sequel/franchise on its first day. It joins an elite club that includes “Baahubali 2” (Hindi), “Gadar 2,” and “Dhoom 3.”
“Stree 2,” directed by Amar Kaushik, is poised to dominate the box office over the extended holiday weekend, with projections suggesting it may cross the ₹150 crore nett mark by Sunday. This is especially impressive considering the competition it faces from Akshay Kumar’s “Khel Khel Mein” and John Abraham’s “Vedaa.”
The film’s success underscores its appeal, combining elements of horror and comedy to create a blockbuster hit. With strong word-of-mouth and positive reviews, “Stree 2” is likely to continue its box office domination in the days to come.
