Indian superstar Rajinikanth’s Tamil-language action comedy “Jailer 2” was the second-biggest film in the world over the Oct. 16–18 weekend, grossing $31.2 million, according to Rentrak estimates. Only Paramount’s “Street Fighter,” with $51.1 million, earned more.

The Nelson Dilipkumar-directed sequel opened in India on, Oct. 15, and grossed an estimated INR224 crore ($23.5 million) across its four-day extended opening. That is the third-highest four-day start on record for a Tamil-language film, and effectively level with another Rajinikanth vehicle, “Coolie,” which managed INR224.25 crore ($23.6 million).
