The anticipation surrounding Allu Arjun’s highly anticipated sequel, *Pushpa 2: The Rule*, has translated into unprecedented box office success even before its theatrical release on December 5th. Industry tracker Koimoi.com reports that the action drama has already raked in an astounding ₹100 crore (approximately $12 million USD) in advance bookings, solidifying its place among a select group of Indian films that have achieved this remarkable milestone on their opening day.
This staggering figure places *Pushpa 2: The Rule* in the company of cinematic giants like *Baahubali 2*, *RRR*, *KGF Chapter 2*, *Leo*, and *Kalki 2898 AD*, all of which achieved similar pre-release box office triumphs. The sheer volume of advance bookings signifies a colossal level of public excitement and unwavering faith in the film’s potential.
Breaking down the impressive numbers, Koimoi’s analysis of worldwide box office data reveals a truly phenomenal response. In India alone, *Pushpa 2* has sold a gross of ₹73 crore in advance tickets. The overseas market has also shown significant enthusiasm, with a remarkable ₹35 crore (gross) already collected from advance ticket sales in the United States. Adding the blocked seats to the equation, the total gross from advance bookings climbed to over ₹125 crore as of Wednesday evening (6:30 PM).
These numbers paint a vivid picture of the colossal expectations riding on *Pushpa 2: The Rule*. The film’s phenomenal advance booking figures strongly suggest a blockbuster opening, potentially setting new records for the Telugu film industry and exceeding even the initial success of the first *Pushpa* installment. The buzz surrounding the movie, fueled by its star power, impressive marketing campaign, and the anticipation surrounding the continuation of its compelling narrative, has clearly translated into concrete financial success before the film has even hit theaters. All eyes are now on the film’s official opening day collection, and many are predicting it will significantly surpass its already impressive pre-release figures.
