Jailer 2 Box Office Collection Day 3: Rajinikanth storms the box office, crosses ₹ 144 crore mark on Saturday Meta Description: Rajinikanth's action thriller film 'Jailer 2' has made record breaking earnings at the box office on the third day on Saturday. Know the complete details of the film's domestic and worldwide collection, occupancy and weekend report. Once again the tremendous magic of 'Thalaivaa' i.e. superstar Rajinikanth is being seen in theatres. The much-awaited action-thriller film 'Jailer 2', directed by director Nelson Dilip Kumar, is raining money at the box office. After taking a great opening on Thursday and Friday, the film has taken an unexpected jump on the third day of its release i.e. first Saturday. Taking full advantage of the weekend holiday, the film has broken many old earning records in India and overseas markets and has crossed the total net collection of ₹144 crore in just 3 days. Tsunami in theaters on Saturday: Tremendous collection on the third day According to initial trade estimates and box office data, the film's domestic collections recorded a massive jump of over 40 percent on Saturday. While the film maintained a strong hold on Friday despite it being a working day, the theaters were seen houseful from the first show on Saturday morning. Multiplexes in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka as well as North India witnessed huge turnout. On the third day, the film made a huge net collection of around ₹52 crore to ₹55 crore across all languages (Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Kannada) in India, with which its total 3-day net collection in India crossed ₹144.50 crore. Occupancy and shows: Houseful from single screen to multiplex On Saturday, the overall Tamil occupancy of the film was recorded at more than 78 percent, while in the evening and night shows this figure crossed 90 percent. In big cities like Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai and Bengaluru, theater owners had to add extra special shows late at night and early in the morning due to huge demand from the audience. The audience's craze for the Telugu dubbed version was at its peak in Hyderabad and Vijayawada, where the occupancy remained above 70 percent. The word-of-mouth effect was also seen in Hindi speaking areas like Delhi-NCR and Mumbai and all the major post-afternoon shows were completely packed in multiplexes. Worldwide Collection: Stepping towards ₹250 crore gross club in 3 days, along with creating a stir at the domestic box office, 'Jailor 2' is also creating new history in the overseas market. The magic of Thalaiva is at its peak in the United States of America (USA), Britain (UK), Gulf countries (UAE/GCC), Malaysia and Singapore. If the initial trends from the overseas box office are added, then the 3-day worldwide gross collection of the film has reached close to ₹230 crore to ₹250 crore. Trade analysts believe that the film will become the fastest Indian film to enter the ₹300 crore club globally this year. Rajinikanth's swag and Nelson's direction: Why are the audiences liking the film? After the tremendous success of the first part of 'Jailor', there were huge expectations among the fans about the sequel and the film has completely lived up to those expectations. Rajinikanth's screen presence as retired jailer 'Tiger Muthuvel Pandian', his slow and menacing swag, and punchy dialogues are making the audience whistle and clap in theatres. Nelson Dilip Kumar's tight screenplay, the film's dark humor and Anirudh Ravichander's hair-raising background music (BGM) have emerged as the biggest USP of the film. Apart from this, the surprise cameos and tremendous action scenes in the film have created a huge hype on social media. The mega-record of earnings will be broken on Sunday: Eyes towards ₹ 200 crores After this stormy performance on Saturday, now the eyes of the film industry and trade pundits are fixed on the first Sunday. Advance booking figures for Sunday also appear to be 25 percent stronger than Saturday. If the same momentum continues on Sunday, 'Jailor 2' has all the power to cross the magical milestone of ₹200 crore nett from the India domestic box office alone in its first 4-day extended weekend. Rajinikanth, at the age of more than 70, has once again proved that he is the real 'commander' and 'superstar' of the box office.
