With its sensational performance at the box office, Ravi Teja’s Irumudi beats Ram Charan’s Peddi at the first Sunday box office in footfalls. The film has shown outstanding consistency and strong jumps through its first weekend.
Peddi vs Irumudi: First Sunday Footfalls
Peddi had a huge Sunday in terms of gross, but footfall-wise, Irumudi is clearly ahead in Telugu States.
Peddi sold 9.47 lakh tickets in Telugu States through online-tracked shows, while Irumudi sold a massive 11 lakh tickets.
Yet, Peddi grossed ₹20.50 Cr from those 9.47 lakh tickets, whereas Irumudi grossed ₹16.88 Cr from 11 lakh tickets.
The key difference lies in ticket pricing:
| Film | Tickets Sold | Gross (₹ Cr) | Avg Ticket Price (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peddi | 9.47 lakh | 20.50 | 216 |
| Irumudi | 11 lakh | 16.88 | 153 |
The difference in average ticket price explains the revenue gap. Irumudi can deliver much stronger footfalls and occupancy yet show a lower gross compared to big Pan-India films like Peddi, which command premium pricing.
This is also the answer to those asking why Irumudi’s numbers look lower despite its phenomenal performance. Small or medium-budget movies can cover the difference in openings if they sustain a long theatrical run with strong word-of-mouth and repeat audiences.
