Stree 2 directed by Amar Kaushik and starring Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Tamannaah Bhatia, Aparshakti Khurana, Abhishek Banerjee and others is showing a remarkable hold in its 3rd week at the box office. Stree 2 collected Rs 5.40 crore on 3rd Wednesday and that is similar to how much the movie did on its 20th day, that is the 3rd Tuesday. The 21 day cume stands at a little over Rs 494 crore and it will enter the Rs 500 crore club on its 4th Friday.
Stree 2, with the sort of hold that it is observing, might just become the highest grossing Indian film of all time in Hindi in India, although more can be said seeing its hold over the next couple of weeks. Talking about worldwide collections, Stree 2 has collected Rs 700 crore gross and the target for the movie will be to do slightly over Rs 800 crore. This will put the Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao starrer in the 4th position in the list of highest grossing Indian films worldwide in Hindi, only behind Jawan, Pathaan and Animal, and just ahead of Baahubali 2.
Stree 2 is looking to have a global theatrical share of roughly Rs 350 crore and the non-theatrical share should be around Rs 175 crore. With total recoveries of Rs 525 crore against a budget of Rs 125 crore including publicity and advertising, the producers are looking to make Rs 400 crore on the movie. This sort of profit hasn’t been seen in Bollywood, ever. As about pan-Indian films, only Baahubali 2 and KGF 2 have seen these sort of profits in the past.
