Jailer 2 Box Office Records
Starring Rajinikanth, Jailer 2 kicked off advance ticket sales in India five days before its release, quickly stomping past ₹80 crore in worldwide pre-sales by October 14. The film opened with a ginormous domestic debut, selling 18 lakh pre-sale tickets for ₹37 crore and pulling in ₹59.70 crore net across nearly 15,900 shows, which propelled its first-week domestic collections to a phenomenal ₹334.35 crore.
Although day nine saw a slight weekday dip with ₹14.50 crore bringing its cumulative domestic haul to ₹348.85 crore, trade experts expect a strong rebound over the second weekend to push earnings past the ₹380 crore milestone, having already crossed the lifetime domestic totals of major hits like Border 2 (₹329 crore) and Hanuman Ansh (₹339 crore). Jailer 2's worldwide collection is currently at ₹628.05 crore.
