Dhurandhar 2 is already making history at the North American box office even before its release. With extraordinary advance bookings, the film has recorded the highest premiere pre-sales ever for a Bollywood film in North America.
The previous record was held by Animal, which opened with around $1.2 million in premiere weekend collections. However, Dhurandhar 2 has now surpassed that figure through advance bookings alone, with six days still left before release.
Premiere Pre-Sales Cross $1.2 Million
According to the latest trade estimates, Dhurandhar 2 has already crossed $1.2 million in premiere pre-sales in North America.
This milestone makes it the largest Bollywood premiere in the region based on advance sales, overtaking previous record holders.
Top Bollywood North America Premieres
- Dhurandhar 2: $1.2M+ (6 Days To Release)
- Animal: $1.2M
- Tiger 3: $1M
- War 2: $925K
- Adipurush: $880K
Trade analysts note that the booking pace is still accelerating, which could push the film to $2.5 million or more in premiere collections.
Some estimates even suggest a possibility of crossing the $3 million mark, which would place the film among the biggest Indian premieres in North America.
Weekend Bookings Show Massive Demand
The strong trend is not limited to premieres. Advance bookings for the opening weekend are also showing exceptional momentum.
Early estimates indicate a $3.75 million opening weekend in North America.
If the current booking trend continues, the film could cross $6 million in total weekend gross through advance sales alone before the first show begins.
A Massive Overseas Opening Expected
With such phenomenal demand, Dhurandhar 2 is now heading toward one of the biggest overseas openings for a Bollywood film.
All eyes are now on the film’s opening weekend, which is shaping up to deliver one of the most explosive box office starts in North America for an Indian film.
