Allu Arjun’s much-awaited action drama Pushpa 2: The Rule is already creating waves in North America, surpassing a major milestone in pre-sale ticket sales. With two weeks left until its highly anticipated release on December 4, the sequel has already raked in an impressive $1.2 million in advance bookings, selling over 40,000 tickets across 850 locations. This achievement has made Pushpa 2 the fastest Indian film to reach $1 million in pre-sales, a record that highlights the immense fanbase and anticipation surrounding the film.
Industry experts are predicting that the film could achieve one of the largest North American openings for an Indian movie, potentially joining the ranks of blockbusters like Baahubali 2 and Pathaan, which grossed over $20 million and $17 million, respectively. With the trailer release on November 17 giving a significant boost to the sales, it’s expected that the momentum will continue to build as the release date draws closer.
Directed by Sukumar, Pushpa 2 stars Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil in pivotal roles. The film is the sequel to the 2021 hit Pushpa: The Rise, and will be released in multiple Indian languages on December 5, 2024. With its record-breaking pre-sales and growing buzz, Pushpa 2 is poised to become one of the biggest hits in North America for an Indian film.
