Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule is just nine days away from its theatrical release, yet it is already making waves at the box office. Set for a grand worldwide premiere, the film’s pre-sales in the US suggest a blockbuster opening, outpacing previous hits like RRR and Jawan. On Monday, trade tracker Venky Box Office reported impressive advance booking figures for the film’s US premiere. According to a tweet, “#Pushpa2TheRule USA Premiere Advance Sales: $1,383,949 – 900 Locations – 3420 Shows – 50008 Tickets Sold.”
By Sunday evening, over 50,000 tickets had been sold in the US, with the total advance booking collections in North America surpassing $1.458 million (approximately ₹12 crore), setting a new record. Analysts predict that with nine days remaining until its release, Pushpa 2 is on track to exceed $1.5 million in pre-sales. This puts it ahead of SS Rajamouli’s RRR and Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan, both of which grossed over $15 million in North America and rank among the top five highest-grossing Indian films in the region. The film is also keeping pace with Pathaan, another Shah Rukh Khan blockbuster, and is closing in on the all-time record holder, Baahubali 2, which earned $20 million in the US.
Directed by Sukumar, Pushpa 2: The Rule is the sequel to the 2021 hit Pushpa: The Rise. It features Allu Arjun reprising his role as the titular anti-hero, alongside Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil.
