Stree 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, has created havoc in advance sales. The horror-comedy directed by Amar Kaushik is set for a great start at the box office, thanks to the phenomenal response in its pre-sales. As of August 13, Stree 2 has sold 2.1 lakh tickets across the top three national chains – PVRInox and Cinepolis and that too for the opening day only. The makers are also conducting paid previews a day before its release, for which they have sold around 58,000 to 60,000 tickets.
‘Stree 2’ sold 2.7 lakh tickets a day before its release, aiming for an opening of Rs 40 crore
The much-awaited horror-comedy drama is just a day away from its release. The film has already sold 2.7 lakh tickets across top multiplex chains, including paid previews on August 14. Keeping its sensational trend on record, Stree 2 is heading towards a final advance booking of 3.5 to 4 lakh tickets across PVRInox and Cinepolis.
The Maddock Films production venture is expected to have a bumper opening of Rs 40 crore including paid previews. However, the numbers could go up even further if on-the-spot bookings at the ticket counters increase.

Stree 2 has the potential to be one of the highest grossing Hindi films of 2024
Stree 2 is behaving like a solo release in a three-way clash, aiming to become one of the highest-grossing Hindi films in 2024. As of now, Fighter and Kalki 2898 AD are the top two in the Hindi markets. If the horror-comedy gets a great audience response and positive word of mouth, it might even touch the Rs 300 crore mark.
Shraddha Kapoor’s film may face capacity issues on the first day. Other films releasing on Independence Day, Vedha and Khel Khel may occupy 40-50% of screens in the North, while Mr Bachchan, Thangalan and Double Ismart will occupy the South. However, as the days go by, things will ease out.
