The excitement surrounding Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule is reaching fever pitch, with the film's opening day box office collections set to create new benchmarks in Indian cinema. As advance bookings for the highly anticipated sequel are expected to begin on November 30, the film is already showing strong signs of shattering records both in India and overseas.
In the United States, Pushpa 2 has already garnered impressive pre-sales, signaling a massive demand. But the real showdown will unfold in India, where the film is expected to surpass the opening day collections of KGF: Chapter 2 and Jawan, the two reigning giants in Indian cinema’s advance booking records.
The Yash-starrer KGF: Chapter 2 previously set a high bar, grossing Rs 40 crore on its opening day through advance bookings, with blocked seats contributing to the total. On the other hand, Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan also made waves, recording Rs 36 crore in advance sales without blocked seats, establishing a new record for Hindi cinema. However, the buzz around Pushpa 2 suggests that it is on track to surpass both these figures, potentially setting a new record for the highest-ever advance booking sales in Indian cinema history.
One of the key factors driving the unprecedented excitement for Pushpa 2 is the film’s solo release. Unlike its competitors, which faced direct competition from other big releases, Pushpa 2 will enjoy an uninterrupted run at the box office. With no major films releasing alongside it, including the recent postponement of Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava, the film has a clear path to maximize its box office potential.
The anticipation for Pushpa 2 is not only fueled by its storyline and star power but also by its massive fanbase, particularly in the South Indian market. As December approaches, the buzz is expected to intensify further, pushing the advance sales to new heights. The Sukumar-directorial is expected to capitalize on this momentum, helping it dominate the box office from day one.
Overseas, Pushpa 2 has also made waves, with North America leading the charge in pre-sales. The film’s immense international appeal and growing fanbase ensure that it will be a major global hit.
#Pushpa2TheRule - Overseas - Going by the current trend, a $9 Million opening (Premieres+Day1) seems guaranteed. Depends on the Hindi version walk-ins, the number may go up to $10+ Million. For now, the bookings trend is rock solid. pic.twitter.com/57Rx7jfweq
