Here's Why Stree 2 Will Not Be A ₹1000 Crore Grosser Like Jawan, Pathaan, Kalki 2898 AD, Dangal

Stree 2 Box Office: The Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao starrer horror-comedy has been doing terrific business at the box office ever since its release on August 14, with limited paid previews. According to the latest figures shared by trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film has collected ₹421 crore in 12 days so far in India.

The film has made the most of its holiday periods- Independence Day, Raksha Bandhan and Janmashtami and is likely to enjoy a good run in the coming days as well. However, it might fall short of a box office benchmark achieved by some of the biggest Hindi hits like Jawan, Pathaan, Dangal and Animal.

Stree 2 neck-to-neck with Bollywood biggies

Stree 2 collection in 12 days is on par with all-time blockbuster hits like Pathaan and Jawan. Like Stree 2, the other two movies also crossed the ₹400 crore mark in India in 11 days. On some days, the horror-comedy film's collections are also better than the other two movies and it is estimated that Stree 2 will surpass ₹500 crore mark in nett collections in India as well.

However, its business in the international markets has been muted, which is a major factor in its collections crossing the coveted ₹1000 crore mark at the worldwide box office.

How is Stree 2 performing overseas?

According to estimates by Sacnilk, Stree 2 collections abroad are less than ₹100 crore (around $10 million). That means, the international audiences are not watching it as much there. Whereas with Animal, Jawan, Pathaan and even Dangal, overseas collections contributed a lot to its business, helping it reach the ₹1000 crore mark.  

According to Box Office India, Stree 2 collections overseas can end up between $14-15 million. Top three overseas grossers of all-time are Pathaan ($48.5 million), Dangal ($30.7 million) and Padmaavat ($29.14 million).
