2.0 day 4 box office: Akshay Kumar, Rajinikanth film earns a mammoth ₹400 cr worldwide, ₹100 cr in Hindi

2.0 box office collection is ₹400 crore worldwide after first weekend, as per its producer. The Akshay Kumar and Rajinikanth starrer is also on its way to cross ₹100 crore mark in Hindi box office on Monday.

Big-budget films can be a risky proposition. Despite the best of branding and publicity, if its story lacks a punch, it is bound to falter and Thugs of Hindostan was a case in point. However, Akshay Kumar and Rajinikanth’s 2.0 is facing no such a problem. And proving it are its first weekend box office collection figures. The film has made ₹400 crores in gross worldwide collection. 2.0’s producers, Lyca, tweeted the figure on Monday.

Its post on Twitter read: “History in the making! 400 CRORES WORLDWIDE! Not just a blockbuster, it’s a MEGA BLOCKBUSTER!”

The film’s Hindi business too is doing very well.

On Monday, trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted 2.0’s box office collection in Hindi and they are impressive. He wrote: “As #2Point0 will cross ₹100 cr today [revised opening weekend: ₹97.25 cr], here’s a look at HINDI FILMS that cruised past ₹100 cr in 2018... 1 #Padmaavat 2 #SKTKS 3 #Raid 4 #Baaghi2 5 #Raazi 6 #Race3 7 #Sanju 8 #Gold 9 #Stree 10 #BadhaaiHo 11 #TOH 12 #2Point0 Nett. India biz.”

He had earlier put the figure at ₹95 crore and written: “#2Point0 puts up a SUPERB TOTAL in its *extended* opening weekend... Biz on Day 3 and Day 4 specifically was fantastic... Thu 19.50 cr, Fri 17.50 cr, Sat 24 cr, Sun 34 cr. Total: ₹95 cr. India biz. Note: HINDI version.”

However, he also had a word of caution, stating that, henceforth, the weekends (Monday to Thursday) will be critical for the film. He wrote: “While #2Point0 nears ₹100 cr mark after an impressive *extended* opening weekend, the real test for the film begins from today [Mon] onwards... It will be interesting to see how it fares on weekdays... Mon to Thu - the weekdays - are crucial.”

Karan Johar, who is promoting the film in Hindi, too tweeted to say that the film will cross ₹100 crore today.

Trade tracker Ramesh Bala had earlier tweeted that the film has made over ₹360 crores ( ₹3,676,782,900) in gross worldwide collections, barring north America. He tweeted to say that the film had made $52.5 million and in doing so, has gone past recent Hollywood releases like Fantastic Beasts, Ralph Breaks the Internet, The Grinch and Venom.

He tweeted: “Nov 29th - Dec 2nd International (Outside North America) Top 5 BO: 1. #2Point0 - $52.5 Million 2. #FantasticBeasts - $40.2 Million 3. #RalphBreaksTheInternet - $33.7 Million 4. #TheGrinch - $27.1 Million 5. #Venom - $13 Million.”
