Between the two films, more than Rs 225 crore (Rs 2.25 billion) comfortably came in the first three days itself.
As is always the case with big films, there is no decision on the count of screens allotted to the big releases, Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
In terms of the opening day, Rohit Shetty's film may take the lead since he has assembled a big star cast and each one will bring their own fanbase. On the other hand, the Kartik Aaryan-starrer will entice an audience of its own, since, as a franchise, Bhool Bhulaiyaa has done quite well.
It was a very poor weekend for Bollywood as just about Rs 10 crore (Rs 100 million) came in.
Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video managed to do better than Jigra as it is more massy in its treatment and presentation.
All eyes are now on the Diwali releases Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again.
After a flurry of flops and disasters -- Tumbbad bringing in a whiff of fresh air despite being a re-release -- Devara has managed to bring audiences back to theatres.
After Jawan, it has emerged as the second Hindi film to enter the Rs 600 Crore (Rs 6 billion) Club.
It was a low weekend for Yudhra as Rs 8 crore (Rs 80 million) came in at the box office.
Tumbbad got the best collections at the box office last weekend.
While the lifetime score of Gadar 2 and Pathaan is history now, next up is Animal, which would be crossed in a couple of days. The biggest of them all is Jawan and indications are that the Hindi version of last year's biggest hit will be challenged by this year's surprise blockbuster.
The film has been surpassing huge milestones at a rapid pace and hasn't taken much time to march up to the Rs 500 Crore Club as well.
Only four Hindi films have gone past the Rs 400 crore mark: Pathaan, Gadar 2, Jawan and Animal.
It has crossed the Rs 300 crore (Rs 3 billion) mark in just eight days (plus paid previews) and in the process, emerged as one of the fastest ever to reach this milestone.
The other releases of the week, Khel Khel Mein and Vedaa, have not been able to make a mark at the box office.
The makers of Khel Khel Mein and Vedaa could not have imagined the kind of euphoria that Stree 2 would bring and in the end, emerge as the first choice of audiences.
It will create history by being the first ever film to do more business on re-release than during its original screening.
Just when things started looking good in theatres with Bad Newz, last week's twin releases -- Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha and Ulajh -- have proved to be party-poopers.
audiences watched the film right through the weekend. As a result, the weekend number came to a huge Rs 67 crore (Rs 670 million), which is fantastic.
The film has emerged as an instant success.
