Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule is expected to shatter all pre-release advance sales records in North America well before its release.
The U.S. distributor has also opened advance bookings early, with a significant number of shows, including the Hindi version, now available across the U.S.
With around 11 days remaining until the U.S. premieres, Pushpa 2 has yet to create a sensation, with pre-sales still under $1.5 million.
Before advance bookings began, trade analysts expected the U.S. premiere target for Pushpa 2 to be Prabhas’ Kalki 2898 AD, which collected $3.9 million.
However, based on current trends, the Pushpa 2 U.S. premiere target has been reset to beat Devara’s $2.85 million.
It remains to be seen whether a sudden surge occurs during release week; otherwise, Devara will be the new benchmark for now.
Below are the top 5 all-time U.S. premieres:
Kalki 2898 AD: $3.9M
RRR: $3.5M
Devara: $2.85M
Salaar: $2.6M
Baahubali 2: $2.45M
