The Telugu pre-release event for War 2 took place last night, where NTR, Hrithik Roshan, and other unit members spoke highly of the film, much to the excitement of fans. However, War 2 Hindi advance sales still continue to struggle.
War 2 Overseas advance bookings opened a few days back, with both Telugu and Hindi versions having slower advance bookings. Understandably, the Telugu version will be slow, as the Spy series does not have any following in the Telugu market.
Also, at the same time, the clash with Coolie also impacts War’s sequel in a big way. But the Hindi version’s low advance bookings are a shocker to everyone.
In India, the advance bookings opened on Saturday evening, and the initial trend in India is also not impressive for now. The film sells around 25K tickets in national chains, which is nowhere near the trend of films like Jawan, Pathaan, Pushpa 2, Tiger 3, and Animal.
Hrithik Roshan and NTR’s War 2 Hindi advance sales still continue to struggle, and they are even lower than this year’s releases, Sikandar, Saiyaara, and Chhaava.
The Hindi version has initial expectations of 50 Cr – 55 Cr opening net, but at the current trend, the opening is likely to be in the range of 30 Cr, and if the momentum picks up highly in these 3 days and if the movie receives unanimous positive WOM, then it may take a 40 Cr+ opening.
