The range of Empuraan is going higher and higher with each passing day. After the trailer release, it goes much bigger. Everywhere is creating new milestones for Mollywood. The overseas advance pre-sales have already crossed 1.5M for opening day, and at this pace, it is even on track to open with a 4 million start. Mohanlal’s Empuraan breaks all South India opening records in Germany.
L2: Empuraan sees an astonishing trend in Germany. It breaks all South India opening day records, including recent pan-India biggies like Kalki 2898 AD and Pushpa 2. In Germany the film advances are €100K; it is all set to emerge as India’s biggest opening as well.
Currently, Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan, with €146K, is the biggest opener ever for Indian cinema in Germany. Empuraan might even break this before shows start, as the trend is unreal. Mohanlal’s Empuraan breaks all South India opening records in Germany.
The overseas booking might not only be a shock to the people or industry circles, but it might be a shocker to the film’s unit as well. The most hyped sequel of Malayalam cinema shows that there is a huge overseas market for Mollywood.
The film’s business sold at 30 Cr, and to achieve breakeven, it needs to collect 9M. Everyone thought it was a highly risky one, as the existing all-time record itself was around 8.2M [2018 Movie]. But seeing these bookings, the break-even seems very easy, as on opening day itself, the Prithviraj Sukumaran directorial is expected to take a 4M start.
