Stree 2 Anticipated to Dominate Box Office with Over Rs 40 Crore Opening

The industry experts now feel that “Stree 2” will be the biggest box office opener of the year. The film is eyeing collections of more than Rs 40 crore on the opening day itself. According to Sacnilk, an industry tracker, the movie has already collected more than Rs 13.7 crore from advance bookings alone. The extended weekend, including the holiday of Raksha Bandhan on Monday, is likely to further enhance the earnings of the film.

Competition at the Box Office

“Stree 2” is coming with John Abraham’s “Vedaa” and Akshay Kumar’s “Khel Khel Mein”. Both these films have generated very little buzz, thus leaving an open window of opportunity to “Stree 2”. The movie has banked on its audience loyalty and the success of its first part in the quest to become the biggest hit this year. If everything goes well, then “Stree 2” might cross the Rs 100 crore mark within the first few days of its release.

The original “Stree” was an unexpected success and is loved by audiences for its new genre of horror and comedy. The sequel is expected to work the same magic, and audiences are looking forward to the comeback of their favorite characters in the film. The reviews of the trailer went really good; the advance bookings signal a good opening.
