How Stree 2 Compares To Other Indian Releases Of 2024
Stree 2’s box office success in the domestic marketplace comes during a time whenthere is an ever-increasing interest in Indian imports in North Americain the wake of the 2022smash hitRRR, which won an Oscar for Best Original Song in addition to becoming the third highest-grossing Indian movie of all time worldwide. However, it is performing well even by those standards. Below, see how its opening weekend compares to every other Indian movie that has debuted in the domestic Top 10 throughout 2024 so far:
$2.4 million
$453,000
$1.07 million
$1.2 million
$5.67 million
$1.87 million
No. 9
$1.5 million
Although the number of competing blockbusters at the end of summer means that its chart position is about average for the debut of an Indian movie,its domestic opening weekend is the second-best that North America has seen in 2024behind therecord-breakingKalki 2898 AD, which is India’s most expensive movie ever and has now become the region’s sixth highest-grossing release in history. The fact thatStree 2can hold a candle to the debut of that sci-fi epic shows what strong engagement the horror sequel has had with domestic audiences.
Considering its performance, it could very well be the case thatStree 3will be on the way sooner rather than later.
