The month of August 2024 was a surprising month, with Stree 2 holding the fort, taking the entire month to a respectable total. August 2024, the box office witnessed five major releases. Two of them clashed on August 2 – Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha & Ulajh. Meanwhile, the other three releases, Vedaa, Khel Khel Mein, and Stree 2, clashed on August 15.
Out of the five releases, only Stree 2 managed to attain a blockbuster status, while the other four were disasters at the box office. It was Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar’s continuous second disaster after Maidaan & Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, respectively, adding to the massive disappointment in August!
Stree 2’s 87% Contribution To August 2024 Box Office
August 2024 Box Office witnessed a total collection of almost 517.84 crore, out of which the other four releases, apart from Stree 2, collected only 64.24 crore in total. So despite Stree 2’s 453.60 crore and contributing 87% to the August 2024 total, the month could not match last year’s success due to the underwhelming box office performance of Akshay Kumar’s Khel Khel Mein & Ajay Devgn’s Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha.

Biggest August Disaster
We tried segregating the biggest disasters that were released in the month of August in the last 10 years on the basis of stardom, A-listers and in general box office performance. On August 25, 2017, Aditya Chopra, produced a film called Qaidi Band that earned only 0.50 crore in its lifetime. The second worst was Taapsee Pannu’s Dobaaraa that was released on August 19, 2022, earning 3.85 crore.
Coming to A-listers, while Sunny Deol gave the highest-grossing August film in 2023 with Gadar 2, the actor co-incidentally also gave the biggest disaster in the month of August in the month of 2018 with Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se (also a sequel), earning 10 crore in its lifetime.
