STREE 2 had a simply phenomenal sixth week as it collected 17.50 crore nett plus which is a new record by margin as it beat 11.50 crore nett of URI. The film had the advantage of National Cinema Day but collections held up very well later on, especially if we compare with JAWAN which also had similar offer on its sixth Friday and also managed the same collection.

Despite the National Cinema Day, JAWAN's sixth week stayed under 10 crore nett while here it is over 17 crore nett. The overall total of the film is around 570 crore nett and the film should easily go past 575 crore nett and maybe even to 580 crore nett.

There is a reduction of shows this week as DEVARA - PART  1 (dubbed) is a wide release but once STREE 2 settles over the weekend, it could have another good run till the new releases on Dussehra. The 600 crore nett mark is out of range unless the Dussehra films don't hold which will mean STREE 2 will be back until Diwali. Although its a long shot, you never know.

There's doubt that the film is the biggest blockbuster of the post pandemic era alongside GADAR 2. These two films stand tall in terms of their footfalls and budgets, STREE 2 is 125 crore and GADAR 2 is 75 crore, against the big budgets of the other 500 crore films. STREE 2 has had the easier run with little competition but then on the other hand, it is bigger than GADAR 2 in overseas.

The collections of STREE 2 till date are as follows.

Friday - 4,75,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 3,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 4,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 1,35,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 1,20,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 1,10,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 1,00,00,000 apprx

STREE 2 has smashed records all over but has gone step further in North India as its on its way to cross the 200 crore nett. This will be the first time that a film will ever cross 200 crore nett from the North belt (Delhi/UP and East Punjab). GADAR 2 would have achieved it too but the clash with OMG 2 restricted it in the Delhi/UP market especially NCR area. Punjab was not a problem as it has huge capacity.

Basically there are five zones of North, East, South, West and Central with West (Mumbai, Gujarat) and North being the biggest for Hindi films. The west zone had hit 180 crore nett with BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONLCUSION which was the highest total seen pre pandemic for a zone but this will be the first time any zone has gone over 200 crore nett. The surprise is that this market is probably the most star driven of all where big budgets dominate. STREE 2, however, is not a star driven film which shows how the markets are changing post pandemic.

GADAR 2 had collected around 190 crore nett in North India, ANIMAL was 173 crore nett, JAWAN was 160 crore nett and PATHAAN was 152 crore nett. Before the pandemic it was BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONLCUSION which did around 150 crore nett. The growth has come in Delhi/UP as GADAR 2, ANIMAL and STREE 2 will all finish up with similar totals to BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONLCUSION in East Punjab.

STREE 2 had another huge day as the film collected 4.75 crore nett apprx on National Cinema Day and is still the leading film despite a couple of new releases. This pretty much ensures another record weekend for the film but it will probably slow a little from here. The number on Cinema Day is actually similar to JAWAN which also had a similar offer on sixth Friday. But it should hold better than JAWAN over the week going by the previous week trends.

The film has just smashed the box office and has done it with just a budget of a little over 100 crore and with just the female lead being a star though you cant call it a heroine orientated film as the drivers of the film are the horror characters. If it could be bracketed as a heroine orientated film, then this would be be the second biggest of all time after MOTHER INDIA.

The film is going to set a benchmark of around 575 crore nett and now its about does it remain the biggest hit of the year. This would normally be a foregone conclusion but PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE still may make it in December and that has potential to take the benchmark to an even higher level if it has the merits.

The collections of STREE 2 till date are as follows.

Friday - 3,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 5,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 2,75,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 2,35,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 1,75,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 1,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 4,75,00,000 apprx

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

STREE 2 continues to be fantastic at the box office after Cinema Day as it shows only a 25% drop to collect in the 3.50 - 3.75 crore nett range. JAWAN, which had collected a similar number on National Cinema Day, had shown a much bigger drop as that film probably got bigger benefit of the offer. The film is now at 563 crore nett plus and is still not stopping and records continue to fall across most circuits.

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

STREE 2 saw another insane weekend as it recorded the highest ever sixth weekend by a distance and it is also the highest sixth week ever as it the numbers are higher than the sixth week of URI. STREE 2 is the film to get over the 10 crore nett mark in week six and the horror comedy will be the first to be over 15 crore nett.

A 20 crore nett sixth week would be asking for a lot but it would not surprise if it did it considering how the film has trended so far. The film benefited from National Cinema Day on Friday but what was more impressive was the numbers on Saturday and Sunday. The film stands at 565 crore nett and the 575 crore nett looks pretty easy from here. 

The film has crossed the business of JAWAN and will also cross the footfalls of it which were around 3.1 crore for the Hindi version. STREE 2, at the moment, is on a similar mark but the run is still going which will probably mean around 3.2 crore footfalls. This is double the Hindi footfalls of KALKI 2898 AD which was 1.6 crore plus and that was the best of the year before STREE 2. GADAR 2 will remain number one post pandemic in terms of footfalls due to the huge single screen business ratio and also lower rates at multiplexes. GADAR 2 got 3.4 crore plus footfalls. 

GADAR 2, JAWAN and STREE 2 are the 3 crore plus footfall films post pandemic and this is probably more impressive than the 3.50 crore footfall that films pre pandemic like DANGAL, BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN and PK used to get as the audience pool out there is less for many reasons. But it is the next few years which will tell where these of level of footfalls stand.

The collections of STREE 2 till date are as follows.

Friday - 4,75,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 3,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 4,75,00,000 apprx
