The Kerala Story 2 Box Office Collection Day 3: As its first weekend, The Kerala Story 2’s estimates were about 5 crores nett on its third day of release, a jump of around 7.53% compared to Saturday’s Rs 4.65 crore. However, it started off with just a Rs 0.75 crore opening on Friday due to delays in the cinemas that opened that evening; they were removed from any issue following an early approval in time for the Saturday night shows. In terms of occupancy rates, there was 13.16% occupancy (which is still low) overall throughout the day; rather, there was a significant increase during the last hour of shows when occupancy increased to 15.82%.

Record-Breaking Potential
The Kerala Story 2 Box Office Collection Day 3: Original’s current rate indicates breaking the weekend record unlikely, but smaller budget enables recovery if Monday shows Rs 2-3 crore+. If stability during week and/or positive word of mouth continue, it could become status without having also exhibited the kind of explosive growth phase exhibited by the original.
