Stree 2 has stormed the box office, joining the ranks of Bollywood’s biggest hits. Released on August 15, 2024, this mid-budget horror-comedy has made its mark among the top 10 single-day earners, solidifying its place in the big leagues.
The film, directed by Amar Kaushik, went head-to-head with Khel Khel Mein and Vedaa over the Independence Day weekend. Despite the fierce competition, Stree 2 emerged victorious, outperforming both Akshay Kumar’s and John Abraham’s films right from the opening day. The film earned more on its first day than its competitors did over their entire opening weekends.
Stree 2 Is A Super-Duper Hit Mid-Budegt Sequel
With a reported production budget of Rs 60 crores, Stree 2 was already set to be a profitable venture. However, the film’s performance at the box office has exceeded all expectations. In its extended opening weekend, the film pulled in a whopping 204 crores at the Indian box office. This translates to a return on investment of 144 crores, or 240%—a staggering achievement for a mid-budget sequel.
