Stree 2 directed by Amar Kaushik and starring Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Tamannaah Bhatia, Aparshakti Khurana, Abhishek Banerjee and others held very strongly at the box office as it collected Rs 18.75 crore. The drop of Stree 2 from Tuesday is 25 percent while the drop from Monday is 45 percent. This is not at all bad because the drop is coming from very high levels and the holiday factor has also gone. What needs to be seen is how well the movie holds on Thursday because that's where the realistic hold will be known.

Stree 2 Collects Rs 18.75 Crore On Day 7 In India; It Is A Massive Global Blockbuster

The movie has collected over Rs 270 crore in 7 days, including the collections from paid premieres. It will positively hit the Rs 300 crore nett India mark by second Friday. It needs to be put into perspective that Stree 2 is just a Rs 120 crore budgeted film including print and advertising expenses. The producers are already in a profit zone and are bound to make a profit of over Rs 300 crore, and that's ballistic. This number doesn't even include the push in terms of value that the Horror-Comedy Universe of Maddock has got. The mega-success of Stree 2 will help in better acquisition of other films from the universe and their theatrical business will also be much higher than what it would have been before Stree 2.

Stree 2 Has Led To The Sanctioning Of Numerous Sequels By Indian Producers

Stree 2's first target will be to cross Gadar 2, worldwide. The comparison with Gadar 2 is fit because the budget is quite similar and also, both are sequels to major hits. Sequels to big hits seem like the formula to attract audiences to theatres. We already have Bhool Bhulaiyya 3 and Singham Again in 2 months from now. Many sequels are being sanctioned by production houses and that's because there's nothing more valuable than the assurance of the audience.
