War 2 Day 1 Potential: A New Benchmark?
Hrithik Roshan is no stranger to massive openings, and with Jr NTR’s recent success in Devara, War 2 is expected to explode at the box office. Early predictions suggest the movie could easily cross the ₹100 crore mark on day 1 in India, possibly making it the biggest Bollywood opening ever. If that happens, War 2 could earn nearly 87% more than its predecessor on opening day, setting a new standard for YRF’s spy universe.
War 2 Trailer Update
There’s some buzz that the official trailer for War 2 might be delayed by a week. With YRF’s latest release Saiyaara performing exceptionally well, the studio may be spacing out promotions to maintain audience attention. The new trailer release is likely by the end of July.
