Rajinikanth’s *Jailer 2* reached an estimated Rs 209.10 crore in worldwide box-office receipts after two days in theatres, according to figures from industry tracker Sacnilk reported by *The Indian Express*.

The Nelson Dilipkumar-directed action thriller opened on October 15 with an estimated Rs 59.70 crore net in India and Rs 125.25 crore worldwide, exceeding the original *Jailer*’s reported opening-day collection of Rs 48.35 crore. Sacnilk recorded about 37.47 lakh admissions across 16,599 Indian shows on the first day. The Tamil version accounted for Rs 43.35 crore of domestic net receipts, followed by Telugu at Rs 12.50 crore, Hindi at Rs 3.50 crore and Kannada at Rs 35 lakh.

Domestic net collections fell by about 40% to Rs 35.60 crore on the second day, when the number of shows declined to 13,157. Overseas receipts were estimated at Rs 40 crore for the day, taking the film’s cumulative international gross to Rs 97 crore. By 10 a.m. on its third day, the film had collected another estimated Rs 5 crore in India.

The sequel stars Rajinikanth as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian and includes SJ Suryah, Vidya Balan and Mithun Chakraborty. Hrithik Roshan also appears in a previously unconfirmed cameo as Roddy, an ally who helps Pandian escape police custody.
