Opening its advance booking sales on Sunday, Coolie has set the box office ablaze. The Rajinikanth-starrer has amassed an impressive ₹14 crore in pre-sales across Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada versions — and that’s not all. Including block seats (reserved by theatres for last-minute high-value bookings or special studio deals), the figure is reported to be close to ₹20 crore.
In comparison, War 2 advance booking numbers present a more conservative picture. As per Sacnilk’s report, the Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR-starrer has earned ₹2.08 crore in advance ticket sales so far. The film has sold approximately 57,000 tickets across 6,731 shows in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. When factoring in block seats, the total revenue from War 2 advance booking currently stands at ₹5.72 crore.
While the numbers are not disappointing on their own, they pale in comparison to expectations — especially for a big-budget spy thriller backed by Yash Raj Films (YRF).
