Demonte Colony 2 has proven to be a significant box office success, amassing an impressive approximate total of Rs. 18 crore over the extended four-day weekend. This substantial figure highlights the film’s strong market presence, with the majority of its earnings—over Rs. 16 crore—coming from Tamil Nadu alone. In a noteworthy achievement, the sequel has surpassed the entire lifetime earnings of its predecessor, Demonte Colony (2015), within just four days of its release. This rapid financial success underscores the film’s widespread appeal and effective market penetration.
Demonte Colony 2 Box Office Collections
The film had a robust opening, with Demonte Colony 2 earning Rs. 4 crore on its first day—a remarkable feat for a small-scale Tamil film. The initial boost was partly attributed to the Independence Day holiday, which contributed to the opening surge. Despite the holiday effect, the film maintained impressive momentum throughout the weekend. It experienced only a 25% decline on the second day, which is relatively modest for such releases. By Saturday, the film saw a significant increase in collections, with earnings rising to Rs. 5 crore, surpassing the initial day’s figures and reflecting strong audience engagement and interest.
Karnataka and Beyond
Outside Tamil Nadu, Demonte Colony 2 has also performed commendably in Karnataka, where it earned Rs. 1.30 crore over the extended weekend. Additionally, a Telugu-dubbed version of the film is scheduled for release later this month. Given the positive reception of Tamil horror films in the Telugu-speaking market, there is strong potential for Demonte Colony 2 to replicate its Tamil success in this region as well. This expansion could further bolster the film’s overall box office performance and reach a wider audience.

Neck-and-Neck Battle in Tamil Nadu
The film’s performance on Sunday showed further growth, positioning Demonte Colony 2 in close competition with Thangalaan within Tamil Nadu. Although Thangalaan had three times the opening-day numbers compared to Demonte Colony 2, the horror sequel is on track to potentially outperform it in daily collections. The film’s continued success will largely depend on its performance during the weekdays, which will provide a clearer picture of its long-term box office potential and audience reception.
