Coolie vs War 2 Box Office Comparison: Hrithik Roshan and NTR film takes lead over Rajinikanth's movie on day 2 in India
Coolie and War 2 clashed at the box office on August 14. Together, the films achieved a combined opening day gross of approximately Rs 134.50 crore, with Coolie contributing the lion's share. Coolie grossed Rs 75.50 crore, compared to Rs 59 crore for War 2. Collectively, the two films delivered the Indian film industry its second-biggest box office day, surpassed only by the opening day of Pushpa 2. War 2 Registers Higher Collections Than War 2 On Independence Day Holiday In India On the second day, the Independence Day holiday, War 2 took the lead over Coolie. War 2 grossed Rs 67 crore, compared to Coolie's Rs 63.50 crore. The Hindi version of War 2 drove its performance, securing at least a moral victory over Coolie, if not more. The two day collections of War 2, stand at Rs 126 crore, as compared to Coolie's Rs 139 crore. Collections for both films have declined on Saturday, and expectations for Sunday remain modest. The race between the two films is tight, and it's uncertain which will come out on top. The film that leads on Saturday and Sunday is likely to end with higher total collections in India. The Difference Between War 2 And Coolie Will Be The Overseas Gross, As India Gross Is Expected To Be More Or Less, The Same The overseas collections of Coolie are expected to be the key differentiator. Coolie's opening day overseas collections are significantly higher than what War 2 is expected to do over the extended first weekend. Coolie's extended weekend collections are estimated to be USD 10 million higher than War 2's. A USD 10 million (Rs 87 crore) difference over the weekend and an expected Rs 100 crore difference in the lifetime is what is being assumed at this point. This only means that Coolie will be leading War 2 by a margin of Rs 100 crore at the worldwide box office as well, in the full run. Coolie, Despite Its Underperformance, Remains In Contention To Be A Superhit Both movies have not performed as well as they should have. But it is undeniable that the Rajinikanth movie is still in contention to be a superhit, given its lesser costs and higher global gross. War 2 will end as a loss-making proposition for everyone involved. The combined global gross of both movies will likely fail to touch Rs 1000 crore. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Coolie Box Office Collections: Rajnikanth starrer rises to 243 crore worldwide in two days
Coolie grossed USD 3.25 million approx on Friday internationally, taking its total gross to USD 11.85 million (Rs. 104 crore) approx. Combined with Rs. 139 crore in India, the worldwide gross for the Rajnikanth starrer stands at Rs. 243 crore approx. Coolie held generally well, but the market which did the best on the opening day, the United States, saw a kind of a crash, with collections dropping to just USD 600K on Friday. This is an unnatural drop from a huge USD 2.70 million it did on Wednesday, or even the USD 700K on Thursday. Yes, the reception is on the mixed side, but that stands true for other places, where the drops are more in line with what you would expect. The opening day was the biggest ever for a Tamil film internationally, the reason for which was the United States, where the film beat Leo by a considerable margin of USD 1.30 million. On its second day, the overall biz was a bit short of Leo, with the gap reducing to just USD 100K in the US. The four-day weekend is projected to reach USD 17.50 million, which will be the second-highest ever, just behind Leo (USD 18 million). Leo ended up being very frontloaded, closing at USD 23.40 million, so Coolie may still overtake it if it manages to get better legs beyond the weekend. The Territorial Breakdown for Coolie overseas is as follows:

Chris Columbus denies making another Home Alone film: Cant recapture what we did 35 years ago
Los Angeles, Aug 16 (PTI) Filmmaker Chris Columbus might have created one of the most loved franchises with "Home Alone" films, but has no plans to return for another sequel and believes it should be left alone. Columbus' directorial "Home Alone" was released in 1990, featuring Macaulay Culkin in the lead role. The film revolved around Culkin's character Kevin, an eight-year-old who is left home alone while the entire family leaves for a vacation. "Home Alone" became a sensation at the box office, emerging as the highest-grossing film of 1990 in the USA. The film grossed over USD 476 million worldwide at the box office, against its budget of USD 18 million. It was followed by a sequel in 1992, titled "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York". In the recent interview, the lead actor mentioned the possibility of returning to the sequel if he was paid enough. But Columbus has made it clear that what was made 35 years back then shouldn't be touched again, as it can just turn out to be a mistake. "I think 'Home Alone' really exists as, not at this timepiece, but it was this very special moment, and you can't really recapture that," he told ET in an interview. "I think it's a mistake to try to go back and recapture something we did 35 years ago...I think it should be left alone," he added. Besides the two films starring Culkin, the franchise had other films with different child actors, including "Home Alone 3", which was released in 1997, "Home Alone 4" in 2002, "Home Alone: The Holiday Heist" in 2012, and "Home Sweet Home Alone" in 2021.
