War 2 box office collection day 4: Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR film shows no growth on first Sunday, has earned ₹173 crore

War 2 box office collection has crossed ₹150 crore in India, but the Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR film is facing a slowdown.

War 2 box office collection: War 2 is having a topsy-turvy time at the box office, to say the least. The Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR-starrer began on an underwhelming note on Thursday, before it finally picked up pace on Friday, courtesy the Independence Day holiday. But since then, the film has slowed down, showing a surprising drop over the remainder of its extended opening weekend.

War 2 box office update

War 2 box office collection day 4: Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR headline this YRF spy thriller.

War 2 earned ₹142.60 crore net ( ₹170 crore gross) in India in its first three days. This included a worrying 42% drop on Saturday across both the Hindi and Telugu versions. The trend seems to be continuing on Sunday. According to Sacnilk, on Sunday, War 2 had earned ₹31 crore net. This slowdown may hurt the film's lifetime haul. Its overall collection now stands at ₹173.6 crore.

However, despite the slowdown, the initial momentum has meant that War 2 has now crossed ₹150 crore worldwide in four days. On Saturday, the film also crossed ₹200 crore gross worldwide on the back of a decent showing overseas. However, given that the Ayan Mukerji film has a reported landing cost of around ₹400 crore, it still has a long way to go before it breaks even.

War 2 vs Coolie box office

War 2 is part of the YRF Spy Universe, which includes Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan and Salman Khan's Tiger series. The film's post-credits scene features Bobby Deol setting up the Spy Universe's next release, Alpha. That film will star Alia Bhatt and Sharvari in lead, and will release this December.
