Jailer 2 Grosses ₹606 Crore in 8 Days, Passing Leo and Jailer's Lifetime Totals

Jailer 2 grossed an estimated ₹606.05 crore worldwide in its first eight days, becoming the fourth Tamil film to cross ₹600 crore, according to box-office tracker Sacnilk, which published the figures on 23 October 2026.

That puts the Rajinikanth film, released on 15 October, just ahead of the lifetime worldwide totals of Vijay's Leo (₹605.90 crore) and the first Jailer (₹604.74 crore), Sacnilk said. Only Shankar's 2.0, at ₹691 crore, has grossed more among Tamil films.

The numbers so far

• India gross: ₹391.55 crore
• Overseas: ₹214.50 crore, an early estimate, which already passes the overseas lifetime totals of Leo (₹204 crore) and Jailer (₹196 crore)
• India net: ₹334.35 crore, including ₹17.15 crore net on day 8 (Thursday, 22 October), The Week reported citing Sacnilk

The film's first week ended at ₹576.45 crore worldwide and ₹317.2 crore net in India, according to The Week. Day 8 ran across 13,241 shows with 25.2% overall occupancy, Sacnilk said.

Where it goes from here

Jailer 2 was ₹477.75 crore worldwide after five days, as PressRoom reported on 20 October. Its gross in India was close to ₹400 crore by the end of day 8, with the second weekend still ahead.

The film is directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and produced by Sun Pictures. The makers have separately announced a worldwide figure of more than ₹549 crore, an earlier milestone, ETV Bharat reported. Box-office numbers from trackers are estimates and can change as final figures come in.

The run follows Drishyam 3: The Conclusion crossing ₹400 crore in eight days earlier this month, a strong stretch for theatres before multiplex chain PVR Inox reports its September-quarter results on 28 October.
