War 2 advance booking collections
According to trade website Sacnilk, War 2 had made ₹11.91 crore gross in advance collections in India as of 1 PM. At the time of writing, the film sold 4,25,404 tickets, 2,04,899 in Hindi and 2,01,421 in Telugu. The film initially had lukewarm bookings but saw a massive jump once bookings opened up in Telugu. Given that the film has gotten permission from the Andhra Pradesh government for special shows and ticket hikes, it’s expected to boost collections, too.
War 2 is part of the YRF Spy Universe. Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan holds the record for the highest opening in the franchise, with a ₹57 crore net and ₹67.80 crore gross collection in India and ₹104.80 crore worldwide. War is a close second with its ₹53.35 crore net and ₹63 crore gross collections in India and ₹78 crore worldwide. With a few hours to go before War 2’s release, it remains to be seen if it’ll beat these collections.
