RAID 2 has comfortably crossed the 200 crore gross mark overseas as it heads for the fifth highest total ever for an Ajay Devgn film worldwide. The bigger Ajay Devgn grossers worldwide are all 300 crore plus films be it SINGHAM AGAIN, TANHAJI: THE UNSUNG WARRIOR, DRISHYAM 2 or GOLMAAL 3. The film stands at 208 crore in terms of worldwide gross collections after 20 days.

RAID (2018) had a total of 143 crore worldwide and if we compare with that, then the main difference will be India as in Overseas RAID 2 will be better by only around 20-25% as its heads for a $3.5 million end while RAID was almost $3 million. The film will manage to go past RAID in all the major overseas markets. US/Canada and Gulf both top $1 million.

The difference in India is huge as it looks to be doing 70% more than RAID. Basically the numbers of the film in India and Overseas establish the film has a franchise and the way they are basically gold dust at the moment as the box office is very receptive to them. Now this sets up more films in this franchise in the future.

The worldwide numbers of RAID 2 are as follows.

India - 181 crore (149 crore nett)

Overseas - 27.25  crore ($3.25 million)

------------------------------------------

RAID 2 did very well its third week collecting 19 crore nett which is just a 50% drop from the previous week. The film now stands at 150 crore nett and has crossed the business of SHAITAAN released last year. The third week numbers were also slightly better than SHAITAAN. The big difference is Gujarat where SHAITAAN did not do well as it was a remake of the Gujrati film, VASH.

RAID 2 had competition of two Hollywood releases last week with MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING and FINAL DESTINATION BLOODLINES but was not affected. However, this week, there is BHOOL CHUK MAAF which will will probably affect it more as there will be more of an over lapping audience. This film was supposed to come two weeks back and that has worked in the favour of RAID 2.

The film has done well over with Mumbai circuit and West Bengal being the best, the former got advantage of a huge holiday on day one which really helped collections. There will be circuits like Odisha and the South circuits which will stay below SHAITAAN but Odisha is probably because of the horror advantage for SHAITAAN. Meanwhile, South saw regional films release alongside RAID 2.
