Overview

  • According to Sacnilk-based trade trackers, Coolie amassed an estimated ₹194.25 crore in India over four days, compared with War 2’s ₹173.60 crore.
  • Both films opened strongly on August 14 for the Independence Day holiday but saw day-to-day drops of around 40% by Day 3 and further declines on Day 4.
  • Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie dominated Tamil Nadu and overseas markets while War 2 drew its strongest business from the Hindi belt and Telugu states.
  • Preliminary global grosses place Coolie between ₹300–325 crore and War 2 above ₹200 crore, though all figures remain subject to revision by industry trackers.
  • With reported budgets in the ₹300–400 crore range, both films face commercial pressure to maintain box-office momentum beyond their opening weekend.
