NTR and Hrithik Roshan’s War 2 is all set to release in theaters worldwide in a few hours. Despite being a franchise film and having two stars from North and South, War 2’s 1st-day final advance bookings are below par.
The weak promotional content dented the film’s hype, and the Coolie’s competition impacted the film’s advance bookings in a big way. The film carried decent advances in Andhra Pradesh with 10 Cr, whereas in Telangana, it had average bookings with 5.5 Cr gross.
States like Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu have given a combined gross of 3 Cr, and North India’s number will be around 12 Cr, which takes the total all-India gross to 30 Cr and overseas advances close to 11 Cr.
With that, the total final advances will be more than 40 Cr. Overall, Hrithik Roshan and NTR’s War 2’s 1st-day final advance bookings are below par.
These are definitely disappointing bookings for the film, as they are nowhere near the expectations. Most of the people even predicted that War 2 would open bigger than Coolie, but everything got changed.
Now, War 2 is looking at a 90 Cr start worldwide, and it needs a big WOM to score a big success at the box office.
