The movie is directed by Sajid Ali.## Laila Majnu has surpassed expectations with its re-release as the day-wise trend is excellent. On its 6th day, it has earned an estimated 1 crore gross which is higher than the previous 2 days and the second biggest day of its re-release run so far.## The total re-release collection of the movie is approximately 4.75 crores gross in 6 days. It has already outgrossed its original run of approximately 3.20 crores in India in just 5 days and its full first week is expected to be 5+ crores which is an excellent result.## Laila Majnu will now face tough competition from new releases, starting on August 15.

It has a chance to beat Ranbir Kapoor-fronted's recently re-released Rockstar which grossed over 10 crores.## Day-Wise Gross Collection of Laila Majnu Re-Release (Updated) -## 1st Day (Friday) - 30 lakh approx.## 2nd Day (Saturday) - 75 lakh approx.## 3rd Day (Sunday) - 1.20 crore approx.## 4th Day (Monday) - 70 lakh approx.## 5th Day (Tuesday) - 85 lakh approx.## 6th Day (Wednesday) - 95 lakh approx.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, August 14 - Amid the juggernaut of Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao's Stree 2, this Independence Day weekend will see Akshay Kumar-fronted Khel Khel Mein and John Abraham's Vedaa will fight it out to come second at the box office. ## Akshay returns to his forte comedy genre in which he has scored many successes but all are not the same this time. The actor is coming after a series of unsuccessful films and to turn the tide, he will have hope for a change in fortune and hope the film turns out to be a really good one. ## As said, the opening of Khel Khel Mein is expected to be low considering the pre-sales which are better than Akshay's last film Sarfira but overall remains low. As of 8 PM on August 14, the movie has sold approximately 29K tickets with approx. 1 crore gross for the opening day.## The final opening day pre-sales of the movie are expected to be in the range of 1.50 crores gross which indicates the opening in the range of 4-5 crores net. The Independence Day holiday will provide some boost but that is unlikely to make much difference to the overall opening. ## Vedaa reunites John Abraham with director Nikkhil Advani since Batla House (2019) which was also released on August 15. While Batla House scored a very good opening of 15+ crores net 5 years ago, things are a lot different this time around. ## The pre-sales of Vedaa are almost similar to Khel Khel Mein though it has sold more tickets (39K as of 8 PM) so far. The movie's opening is expected to be in the same range as Akshay-starrer, however, the action genre might attract more footfalls in mass centres which can boost the collection a little more. ## There is a long holiday period coming up, but Khel Khel Mein and Vedaa will need a unanimously positive reception from the audience to make the most of it, unlike Stree 2 which will open, at least, 3X of the combined total of the other two movies. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, August 14 - Disney's animated blockbuster Frozen III will make its big screen debut in November 2027. ## Walt Disney Animation's chief creative officer Jennifer Lee announced on Wednesday at D23 that the third installment of the musical fantasy franchise will be released on November 24, 2027, according to the report by The Hollywood Reporter.## Frozen 3 was originally scheduled for a 2026 release but the production is getting delayed due to various reasons which made Disney push the film to the Thanksgiving weekend in 2027.

Mumbai, August 14 - The highly-anticipated horror-comedy Stree 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao in the leading roles, is all set to explode at the box office this Independence Day weekend, thanks to the extraordinary pre-sales for the weekend.## The movie is a part of producer Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Supernatural Universe and is the sequel to 2018's film Stree. Apart from the well-received teaser/trailer and songs, being a sequel to the blockbuster movie is proving to be a massive advantage for Stree 2 and the same is being reflected in the advance sales.## The advance booking of Stree 2 for the opening day is already the highest of 2024 in Hindi by a long margin and is looking to score one of the biggest pre-sales for a non-superstar title. As of 2 PM on August 14, the film has sold approximately 450K tickets worth 13 crores gross for the opening day (August 15).## The pace of Stree 2 pre-sales has been excellent since the day it opened and is expected to beat Shah Rukh Khan's Dunki (15.40 crores gross) to score the biggest booking in Hindi since Ranbir Kapoor's Animal in December 2023. The movie is looking to beat Dunki's opening (29 crores net approx.) but considering Stree 2 has more commercial value and huge anticipation, it is expected to score in the mid-3Os.## The film is releasing on Independence Day which will boost walk-ins so there is a good chance of Stree 2 going beyond the 35 crores net mark and an outside chance of touching 40 crores net (optimistic), depending on word of mouth. The movie is clashing with Akshay Kumar's Khel Khel Mein and John Abraham's Vedaa, however, Stree 2 is behaving like a frontloaded solo release as the pre-sales are miles ahead of the rest of the two movies.## Directed by Amar Kaushik, Stree 2 will easily become the biggest opener for Shraddha Kapoor as well as Rajkummar Rao, director Kaushik and also for Maddock Films. Meanwhile, the movie has paid previews today (August 14) and booking for the same is excellent.## Stay tuned...
