Box Office: 'Raid 2' Opening Day Early Estimates

According to early estimates, Raid 2 has scored 18-19 crores net collection on its first day, Thursday. The movie benefited from the partial holiday due to Maharashtra Day / Labour Day, which provided the extra push to take the collection close to the 20 crores mark.

The trade was anticipating a little lower opening day, which still would have been a very good start, but here, the film showed what a sequel can do. The movie performed best in Maharashtra, which has been a strong market for Ajay Devgn over the years, followed by Gujarat, Delhi, and West Bengal.

The initial word of mouth for Raid 2 is mixed to positive, which should be enough for it a have a very good extended opening weekend. There will be a drop tomorrow, Friday, which is a working day, but is expected to score a solid jump on Saturday and Sunday. The weekend is expected to be in the range of 65-75 crores net.
