Pushpa 1 had a rather average opening and closing business in America. During its premiers, the film could collect just around $550K and the closing of this Sukumar- Allu Arjun film was around $2.5M. This was not up to expectations especially considering the director-actor combo and the kind of hype Pushpa: The Rise had.
Fortunately for the makers, Pushpa 2 bookings that opened recently are doing amazing numbers and have already crossed the prequel’s premier numbers. The pre-sales have crossed $500K already, and as per projections, they will surpass Pushpa 1 closing figures in a matter of days. This shows the huge difference between Pushpa 1 and Pushpa 2 in terms of craze and anticipation.
Looking at the current trends, this Allu Arjun- Rashmika starrer might even go for a record $5 million premiere. If word of mouth is positive, there is definitely a high chance of this Sukumar film beating Baahubali 2’s numbers here. The breakeven itself is $15M in America, and now it all depends on early talk and reviews.
The film is in the final leg of its shooting and has exactly one month to go before its release. A special song with Sree Leela will mark the film’s wrap-up, and promotions are planned soon. All eyes are now on the Pushpa 2 trailer, and if the trailer manages to hit the right chord, then the sky is the limit.
