The highly anticipated release of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2, which was initially scheduled to clash with Singham Again on August 15, has been postponed. While the new release date has not been announced, it is speculated that the film may now target either Diwali or Christmas for its release. However, this delay will significantly impact the dynamics of the film’s box office opening.Earlier, it was expected that Pushpa 2 would break records and gross around 180-200 crores worldwide, even with a clash with Ajay Devgn’s Singham
Again. Out of this total, Hindi collections alone were projected to be around 65 crores.With the changed release date, industry trends indicate a drop in expectations for Pushpa 2’s day one box office performance. If the film opens on any other date, its opening collection is now estimated to be in the range of 150 crores worldwide. This hypothetical scenario would result in an approximate loss of 30 crores on the opening day compared to the Independence Day release.One of the factors that would have worked in Pushpa 2’s favor was the four-day weekend provided by the August 15 release. This extended weekend could have boosted the film’s numbers.
However, with Pushpa 2 vacating the slot, the four-day weekend has now been occupied by other films such as Akshay Kumar’s Khel Khel Mein, John Abraham’s Vedaa, and Shraddha Kapoor-Rajkummar Rao’s Stree 2. Consequently, the opportunity for the extra push provided by the extended weekend will now be a rarity on any other release date chosen by Pushpa 2. Meanwhile, Singham Again has advanced its release from August 15 and secured the Diwali release date, keeping the possibility of a clash with Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 intact. As the new release date for Pushpa 2 remains unknown, fans eagerly anticipate further updates and eagerly await the film’s arrival in theaters. Stay tuned to know more about it and others only with us.
