This brings the total North India net collection for the first three days to ₹8 crore 35 lakh, with a gross collection of ₹9 crore 93 lakh, nearing the ₹10 crore mark.
The GOAT South India and Worldwide Box Office
Beyond the Hindi market, The GOAT also generated strong earnings in South India, including Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, and the Telugu states. Globally, the film’s first-day gross box office collection was ₹126 crore. Its all-India net collection for day one stood at ₹52 crore 30 lakh. The second day experienced a significant drop, with an all-India net collection of ₹26 crore 75 lakh, approximately 50% of the first day’s earnings.
The third day, a Saturday, witnessed growth not just in North India but also in South India, with stronger collections compared to the previous day.

Stree 2: Fourth Week Box Office Dominance
Shraddha Kapoor’s horror-comedy film, Stree 2, directed by Amar Kaushik and starring Rajkummar Rao and Pankaj Tripathi alongside Kapoor, continues its strong run at the box office. Released on August 15th, the film is currently in its fourth week in cinemas, with its daily collections maintaining momentum as if it were a new release. Stree 2 has outperformed many other Bollywood films of 2024, which typically saw their collections drop within 10-12 days.
Stree 2 Breaks Major Records and Comparisons
Stree 2 has already surpassed the lifetime net collections of major films like Pathaan, Gadar 2, and Baahubali 2 in India. It is currently set to challenge Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan (Hindi version) for the highest India net collection for a Hindi film. Despite its budget of only ₹80 crore and facing competition from Akshay Kumar’s Khel Khel Mein and John Abraham’s Vedaa upon release, Stree 2 has achieved remarkable box office success.
Stree 2: Detailed Collections Up to Day 24
The film’s all-India net collection for the initial two weeks was ₹453 crore 60 lakh. In its third week, it added ₹22 crore 83 lakh to its all-India net collection. Despite a reduction in screens during its fourth week due to the release of Thalapathy Vijay’s The GOAT, Stree 2 collected ₹4 crore 75 lakh on its fourth Friday (day 23). On its 24th day, a Saturday, the film is estimated to earn ₹6 crore 50 lakh, with improved bookings for afternoon, evening, and night shows compared to the previous day.

The film is expected to cross the ₹800 crore mark worldwide in the coming days.
