The Rajinikanth-starrer Jailer 2 grossed over ₹600 crore worldwide by its second week in theatres, establishing itself as a major commercial success across domestic and international markets.
The action drama collected ₹14.50 crore in India net revenue across 10,484 shows on Friday, October 23, according to The Times of India, representing a 15.5 percent drop from the previous day.
Cumulative India net earnings reached ₹348.85 crore, while the domestic gross total stood at ₹408.55 crore, with international gross collections reaching ₹219.50 crore.
The film brings back Rajinikanth as retired jailer Tiger Muthuvel Pandian, who goes undercover to confront an idol-smuggling network led by Bodhi Kalpak after his family faces threats.
Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and produced by Sun Pictures, the sequel features a large ensemble cast that includes Vidya Balan, Mohanlal, S.J. Suryah, Ramya Krishnan, and Jackie Shroff.
Trade reports indicated strong ticket sales, with Tamil screenings accounting for ₹9.35 crore from 4,885 shows and contributing 64.5 percent of the day's domestic net earnings.
The Telugu version collected ₹3.00 crore across 1,787 shows, while Hindi screenings generated ₹1.75 crore from 3,624 shows and Kannada shows added ₹40 lakhs from 188 screenings.
In Tamil Nadu, the film grossed ₹6.25 crore on its second Friday, which was higher than Leo but lower than The GOAT, according to Pinkvilla.
Karnataka emerged as an impressive performer, grossing over ₹3 crore on Friday, with the film heading for a final total of over ₹90 crore in the state.
Jailer 2 surpassed the lifetime collection of the first Jailer and climbed past Leo, placing it behind Shankar's 2.0 on the list of highest-grossing Tamil films.
Trade pundits expect the film to see a jump in its second weekend and potentially surpass the top-grossing spot by Sunday.
