Coolie advance booking
On the other hand, Rajinikanth’s Coolie, recorded ₹46.36 crore in opening-day advance bookings. With its domestic and overseas pre-sales combined already exceeding the benchmark set by Coolie, Jailer 2 is likely to surpass Coolie’s advance booking total with ease.
Will Jailer 2 beat Coolie on day 1?
However, advance bookings alone cannot establish whether Jailer 2 will outperform Coolie on its opening day. Coolie collected ₹65 crore net in India on Day 1, with a gross collection of ₹76.14 crore. The film’s worldwide gross was at ₹151.14 crore, including ₹75 crore from overseas markets. Whether Jailer 2 can beat those opening-day figures will depend on its final advance booking business, show capacity and spot bookings, as well as its theatrical performance across domestic and international markets.
With its ₹27 crore domestic advance gross, Jailer 2 is also ahead of several major Rajinikanth releases in terms of advance booking for day 1. These include Annaatthe ( ₹23.25 crore), Vettaiyan ( ₹22.86 crore), 2.0 ( ₹20 crore) and its own 2023 prequel, Jailer ( ₹18.24 crore). The sequel trails Coolie, which leads the ranking with ₹46.36 crore as the highest opening-day advance bookings.
