Box Office: OMG 2 Second Sunday Early Estimates

Mumbai, August 20 - OMG 2 has a very good second weekend, dropping just around 30% from the first weekend which is a fantastic hold. The movie scored a jump of around 20% on its second Sunday from the second Saturday collection. ## The early estimate suggests a second Sunday/10th-day collection of OMG 2 around 12.50-13 crores net which takes the total collection to over 114 crores net. The second-weekend collection is over 29 crores net which is one of the highest for a mid-budget Bollywood movie this year.## OMG 2 has been excellent in multiplex chains as the majority of its collection has come through those chains while smaller centers continue to remain low due to the domination of Gadar 2. The low performances in single screens have reduced OMG 2 to around its current total otherwise it could have easily around 150 crores net by now. A solo release would have done that for it.## The movie is the first 100 crores net scorer for director Amit Rai as well as Pankaj Tripathi who plays the center role in the movie.

Mumbai, August 18 - Indians love big-screen cinema, and this has been proved once again with the historical box office collection of the films released during the Independence Day 2023 week. It was a momentous week for Indian cinema which films across languages bring massive crowds in theaters.## Sunny Deol-led sequel to a 22-year-old period action drama movie "Gadar: Ek Prem Katha", along with superstar Rajinikanth's action thriller "Jailer", superstar Akshay Kumar's social comedy-drama "OMG 2", and megastar Chiranjeevi's action drama "Bholaa Shankar" had a massive contribution to the historical biz as these four movies combined grossed around 750 crores at the Indian box office during the Independence Day week.## Gadar 2: The Katha Continues, which was released on August 11, stole the show with sensational first-week collection at the Indian box office.
