With just a month remaining until its December 5 release, Pushpa 2: The Rule is already making waves in the box office race. Directed by Sukumar and starring Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil, the film has garnered an impressive $415K in advance ticket sales for its North American premiere on December 4. This marks a significant achievement, surpassing the pre-sales from its predecessor, Pushpa: The Rise (2021), which brought in $400K.
The film will screen at 715 locations across 2,750 screens for its North American premiere, showcasing the rising anticipation for the sequel. As of early November, over 15,000 tickets have sold in the region, with Canada bookings set to open soon. Pushpa: The Rise ultimately earned $2.5 million in North America, and early projections suggest that The Rule is on track to outpace these numbers.
The excitement extends beyond the North American market, with Pushpa 2 also dominating the trending lists on the popular Indian ticketing platform BookMyShow. The film’s pre-release business has been equally lucrative in India, with producer Ravi Shankar of Mythri Movies revealing that the movie has amassed ₹425 crore from non-theatrical deals, contributing to a total pre-release business of around ₹1,085 crore.
As the stakes rise, Pushpa 2 is set to deliver a powerful box office performance, break records, and establish a new benchmark for Indian cinema. Fans are eagerly awaiting the continued saga of Pushpa Raj (Allu Arjun) and his battle against formidable enemies, including SP Bhanwar Singh Shekawat (Fahadh Faasil). The film will release in multiple languages, including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Bengali, broadening its reach across diverse audiences.
