On day 3, which was Sunday, the film is expected to do enough to hit the Rs 30 crore mark despite facing stiff competition from Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se, Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi and to an extent the Akshay Kumar starrer Gold, which is a Rs 100 cr film now, and John Abraham successful Satyameva Jayate.

What will boost Stree collection even more is the fact that Monday is a holiday too and this will get the eager public heading to cinemas in droves to check out first hand what the new movies on offer are all about. In effect, Stree collection will get an extended weekend boost that will give it the momentum to quickly push on towards the Rs 50 crore mark. 

And how did the previous Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor starrers do? Rao's Bareilly Ki Barfi film managed just Rs 18.72 crore in its first week. Kapoor starrer OK Jaanu managed just Rs 23.64 crore overall.
