  • Comscore ranked Coolie fourth worldwide for the Aug 14–17 frame with an estimated $45.3 million, while War 2 placed seventh at about $31.5 million.
  • Early weekdays brought steep falls in India: estimates peg Coolie at roughly ₹12 crore on Monday (five‑day total about ₹206–207 crore net) and War 2 at ₹8.5 crore (around ₹183–184 crore net), with Tuesday tracking even lower.
  • Sun Pictures says Coolie reached ₹404 crore global gross in four days; trade trackers cite a wider five‑day range of roughly ₹391–404 crore, underscoring reporting discrepancies.
  • In North America’s opening stretch, estimates show Coolie at about $6.13 million versus War 2 at $3.09 million, reinforcing the Tamil title’s overseas edge.
  • Exhibitors canceled some War 2 shows on Monday due to low turnout, and both films are facing sharp post‑holiday drops that will test their second‑week holds.
