War 2 and Coolie were both released on the same date, i.e., 14th August. The initial expectations hinted at the sequel of War having an edge over Rajinikanth’s film. However, Coolie leads by 150 Cr in the final box office status over War 2.
Coolie dominates War 2 from the beginning
Despite the film coming in the combination of Lokesh Kanagaraj and Rajinikanth, most audiences and even the trade thought the film might be limited to only the South, and they all predicted that War 2 would perform in all territories.
But from pre-bookings to the opening day, Coolie takes a clear lead over War 2, and compared to the spy action drama, the film gets better WOM and reviews that help it continue the lead in the full run as well.
Coolie has a big lead over War 2 at the Final Box Office
Even though Coolie is not a super hit at the box office, in the battle at the theaters, Coolie emerges as the winner with a 150 Cr margin lead over War 2. Rajinikanth’s action drama ended its box office run with 520 Cr gross worldwide, whereas War 2 ended up with 367 Cr gross worldwide.
Coolie is an average venture at the box office, whereas War 2 is an unexpected disaster, and in any consideration, the former is the winner over the latter.
