- Worldwide weekend: The extended weekend is projected at Rs 400 crore plus.
- Dussehra boost: Puja holidays on Monday and Tuesday could help the film close in on Rs 500 crore worldwide.

Conclusion
According to the report, Jailer 2 is poised to become the biggest grosser in Kollywood history. A Rs 500 crore mark would still leave it roughly Rs 100 crore short of the original Jailer and Rs 150 crore short of the current industry hit, 2.0. The original Jailer reportedly added nearly Rs 300 crore after its first six days, so the sequel has room to climb.
