'Stree 2' advance booking breaks records, might earn ₹40cr opening
The highly-anticipated horror-comedy sequel, Stree 2, has shattered records with its advance bookings, becoming one of the biggest pre-sale hits ever. The film's pre-booking has resulted in approximately 1.4 lakh tickets sold across the top three national cinema chains - PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis - for Independence Day. Despite a three-way clash with Vedaa and Khel Khel Mein at the box office, Stree 2 is dominating ticket sales, targeting a ₹40cr opening.
'Stree 2' outperforms major releases in advance bookings
Stree 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, is outperforming some of the biggest releases in recent years. It has surpassed Tiger 3 by 20% and is doing 25% better than Brahmastra in terms of advance bookings. Both these films were major box office successes. This early lead suggests that Stree 2 could reach an advance booking figure of around 3.5 lakh to 3.85 lakh by Wednesday night.
'Stree 2' expected to dominate box office
In just 38 hours of tickets going on sale, Stree 2 managed to sell an impressive 85,000 tickets in the top three national cinema chains for the opening day alone. This rapid pace indicates a flying start for the movie, which could culminate in the sale of over ₹3.5 lakh tickets in these chains by mid-week.
'Stree 2' might break 'Chennai Express' paid preview record
These record-breaking numbers are indicative of Stree 2's potential to become one of the biggest blockbusters in Hindi cinema. If this trend continues and if additional shows are added for paid previews, Stree 2 might even break the long-standing paid preview record set by Chennai Express (₹6.75 crore). The film's success will ultimately depend on its content delivering on the audience's expectations.
