War 2 box office collection day 8: War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, was one of the most anticipated releases of the year. Ayan Mukerji’s YRF spy film, which also stars Kiara Advani in a pivotal role, was released in theatres on 14 August in a clash with Rajinikanth-starrer Coolie.

War crosses ₹200 crore mark in India

War 2 continued its steady albeit subdued run at the box office, adding ₹5 crore to its India nett on its eighth day of release, bringing its cumulative total to ₹204 crore, according to Sacnilk.

War 2 earned ₹52 crore on day 1, with a 10% jump on day 2, which ended at ₹57.35 crore. That is the highest single-day collection for the film so far. However, collections have dipped since then, reaching just single-figure during the weekdays.

Occupancy across cities

On Thursday, 21 August, War 2 recorded modest occupancy rates across major Indian cities, with an overall trend of low to average attendance, especially due to the absence of evening and night show data. The film had an overall 8.59% occupancy for its Hindi version.

Chennai had the highest overall occupancy, at 17.75%, followed closely by Jaipur, at 15%, and Bengaluru, at 14.75%. Meanwhile, Mumbai, NCR, Pune, and Kolkata hovered around the 8–10% mark, reflecting lukewarm audience response.

About War 2

Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 expands the YRF Spy Universe, following in the footsteps of Pathaan and the Tiger franchise. Hrithik Roshan reprises his role as Kabir, joined by N. T. Rama Rao Jr. and Kiara Advani in pivotal roles.

The post-credits scene raised excitement among fans by teasing the next film, Alpha. With a surprise appearance by Bobby Deol, the sequence sets the stage for the next chapter. Alpha, starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, is slated for release in December this year.
