Stree 2, directed by Amar Kaushik and starring Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurrana, and Abhishek Bannerjee, continues its golden streak at the box office. On its 12th day, the movie passed over Rs 400 crore club, becoming the seventh Hindi film to achieve this feat.
While marking its entry into the magical milestone of Rs 400 crore club, Stree 2 joined Jawan, Gadar 2, Pathaan, Animal, Baahubali 2 (Hindi), and KGF Chapter 2 (Hindi).
The horror-comedy produced by Maddock Films turned out to be an ALL-TIME BLOCKBUSTER with its phenomenal run at the box office. After recording the biggest second weekend of all time, Stree 2 benefited from the partial holiday on Janmashtami today. It collected Rs 18 crore net on its third Monday, which is massive considering the film’s no-star value. The total cume of Stree 2 in 12 days stands at Rs 403.50 crore net in India.
Stree 2 is set to cross the lifetime Hindi collection of KGF Chapter 2 (Rs 427 crore) in a day or two. Moreover, it is expected to record the biggest third week of all time.
The next milestone for Stree 2 is entering the Rs 500 crore club, which is assured now. The Rajkummar-Shraddha film is expected to breach this huge milestone by next week. The movie is very likely to topple the final numbers of Animal (Rs 502 crore), Baahubali 2 Hindi (Rs 510 crore), Pathaan (Rs 513 crore) and Gadar 2 (Rs 515 crore) at the box office.
Moreover, it has the potential to become an Industry Hit by surpassing Jawan’s final box office collection (Rs 554 crore) at the Hindi box office. If Stree 2 succeeds in achieving this historic feat, the record will remain on top for a very long time.
Stree 2 proved to be a bona-fide money-spinner for Maddock Films. On the ROI front, Dinesh Vijan’s production venture will end up being the top among the members of the Rs 500 crore club.

Winona Ryder recently discussed her feelings about reprising her iconic role as Lydia Deetz in the upcoming Tim Burton sequel to Beetlejuice. She will be joining her co-star Michael Keaton, who is returning as the titular character. Ryder, who first portrayed the goth teenager involved with the ghostly inhabitants of her home in the original 1988 film, hinted at some exciting details about the adult version of her character and what fans can expect in the sequel.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Winona Ryder and her co-star Catherine O’Hara revealed their experience teaming up again with director Tim Burton for his long-awaited sequel to his iconic 1988 film. Ryder also discussed what she initially expected for her goth teen character’s future and shared her thoughts on the grown-up version of Lydia.
Ryder began by expressing, “I would hope there’s that thing of wanting to keep the essence of the first one, but then imagine this whole life that’s happened,” before revealing that she never imagined Lydia becoming a “mother.”
The Black Swan actress mentioned that instead, she imagined Lydia would choose to stay as a “spinster” in the attic, teasing that Jenna Ortega’s involvement would address many of those questions, and it “felt right.”
The Beetlejuice sequel brings back the Deetz family, who return to their home in Winter River after Charles Deetz’s unexpected death. Lydia’s life changes drastically when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid (Jenna Ortega), finds a mysterious model of the town in the attic. Accidentally opening a portal to the Afterlife, they release Betelgeuse (Keaton).
The actress also shared that before they teamed up again for the film, every year or so, they would meet, and Burton would walk around and say, “This isn’t like a sequel. It’s just like things happen in life, and I really want to know what’s going on with them [characters] now.”

The actress added that she had seen several of his interviews in which he discussed this character’s journey and compared it to the first Beetlejuice movie. O’Hara added that Burton is particularly intrigued by the dynamics of the Deetz family and the bond between the three women.
Meanwhile, Tim Burton’s highly anticipated Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will release in theaters on September 6, 2024.
