Pushpa 2: The Rule Sets Multiple Box Office Records
Pushpa 2: The Rule has set multiple box office records, including the biggest opening day for an Indian film in its home country, earning an estimated $70 million in India over its first four days. The film also made an additional $20 million from foreign markets, bringing its global opening weekend to $90 million. Furthermore, it holds the best IMAX opening weekend in India in 2024, with a total of $650,000, making it the fourth-highest opening ever in India.
In addition to its impressive domestic box office performance, Pushpa 2 also made the top 5 chart in the United States, ranking number 4, behind only Moana 2, Wicked, Gladiator II, and Dwayne Johnson-led holiday action movie Red One.
The film’s success is significant not only for its home market but also for its international appeal. Pushpa 2’s performance demonstrates that audiences are still deeply invested in the story of Pushpa and his struggles against the law. This rare feat of a non-English language film reaching the top 10 in the United States could pave the way for future Indian movie releases to gain wider international recognition and success.
As the film continues to attract audiences worldwide, its impact on the global box office is likely to be a significant one. The success of Pushpa 2 could mean great things for other Indian movies, which could receive wider releases and greater recognition in the years to come.
