Pushpa 2 The Rule advance booking tracking better than RRR, Jawan in the US; crosses $1.4 million with 10 days to go

Pushpa 2’s US tsunami

On Monday, trade tracker Venky Box Office shared the film’s advance booking collections for its US premiere. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the trade analyst tweeted, “#Pushpa2TheRule USA Premiere Advance Sales: $1,383,949 – 900 Locations – 3420 Shows – 50008 Tickets Sold.”

By Sunday evening, Pushpa 2 had sold over 50,000 tickets in the US, with the release 10 days away. The tweet added that North American advance booking collections had crossed $1.458 million (around ₹12 crore), ‘which is a record’.

Trade analysts say that the film is set to cross $1.5 million with nine days to go, which means it is outpacing SS Rajamouli’s RRR and Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jawan, the two biggest Indian movies in the US in recent times. Both films grossed over $15 million each in North America and are among the top five highest-grossing Indian films in the continent. Pushpa 2 is matching the pace of Shah Rukh’s other 2023 blockbuster, Pathaan, and is just behind the all-time record holder for India in the US – Baahubali 2 (which earned $20 million in the territory).
