Jailer 2 Worldwide Box Office: Rs 800 Crore Today
Jailer 2 needs just over Rs 9 crore to reach Rs 800 crore gross worldwide. With a strong Sunday expected in Tamil Nadu and steady overseas numbers, the film should cross the milestone by the end of Day 18. It will be the first Tamil film to reach Rs 800 crore worldwide if it does.
What Next for Jailer 2
The third weekend is likely to end at around Rs 25 crore net, taking the India total to about Rs 455 crore. Advance bookings for Monday stood at Rs 1.84 crore gross on Sunday morning, which points to a normal weekday drop. The bigger test comes on November 5, when Ramayana releases and takes away a large number of screens. Jailer 2 is expected to keep collecting in Tamil Nadu after that, but its daily numbers will fall sharply in other markets.
