'Stree 2' Day 1 Collection Sets New Milestone At Box Office - Check Top 10 Openers of 2024

Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao's much-anticipated film 'Stree 2' has achieved an extraordinary feat at the box office, setting a new benchmark on its very first day.

Released on August 15 across more than 3,000 screens in India, the horror-comedy raked in a staggering Rs 45 crore on day one, surpassing industry expectations. More importantly, it has become the biggest opener of 2024, beating the record of Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone's 'Fighter', which earned Rs 24.60 crore and Prabhas' 'Kalki 2898 AD'.

The film's success is evident across all types of cinema halls, from high-end multiplexes to single screens, marking its path to becoming one of Hindi cinema's biggest openers. Despite being a moderately budgeted film, 'Stree 2' is set to deliver exceptional returns for producers Dinesh Vijan and Jio Studios, amplifying the film's triumph.

On its first day, the national chains alone brought in Rs 21.50 crore, accounting for 55 per cent of the total earnings, according to a report in Bollywood Hungama. The film's remarkable performance has left the industry astounded, with many praising its potential to continue dominating the box office over the weekend.

One of the key factors behind the movie's opening day success was its advance booking numbers. With 8.2 lakh tickets sold in advance, 'Stree 2' generated an impressive Rs 23 crore in gross collections even before the film hit the screens. This massive surge in demand sets the tone for a potentially explosive weekend, with early reports pointing towards continued strong performance.
