“Stree 2” has taken the box office by storm! The Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao starrer has smashed its way into the 200 crore club within just four days of its release. The film is now officially a massive hit, surpassing “Kalki 2898 AD” (Hindi) to become the third most profitable Hindi film of 2024. Let’s break down the numbers!
Released on August 15, 2024, “Stree 2” went head-to-head with “Khel Khel Mein” and “Vedaa,” two other major releases for Independence Day. However, Amar Kaushik’s directorial quickly emerged victorious, earning more on its opening day than both Akshay Kumar and John Abraham’s films managed over the entire weekend.
“STREE 2” DECLARED A BLOCKBUSTER!
With a production budget of 60 crores, “Stree 2” raked in 204 crores during its extended opening weekend at the Indian box office. This results in a return on investment (ROI) of 144 crores, translating to a staggering 240% ROI.
Previously, it was anticipated that “Stree 2” needed to hit the 180 crore mark to secure 200% returns. The film has far exceeded that threshold, earning it the “super-duper hit” status according to industry benchmarks.
