Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna's latest film, Pushpa 2: The Rule, has made history by grossing over ₹800cr worldwide in its extended opening weekend. The film broke records for the highest opening day and weekend collections for an Indian film, both domestically and internationally. The Hindi version of the film contributed significantly to these earnings, bringing in ₹285.7cr to the estimated ₹529.45cr netted from India in just four days.
The film's record-breaking performance has set new benchmarks in Indian cinema. The net collection in the first three days stood at an estimated ₹387.95cr. On Day 4, the movie added another ₹141.5cr across all languages, bringing its domestic net to ₹529.45cr. Pushpa 2's Hindi dubbed version dominated with a phenomenal ₹85cr on Sunday alone, backed by a high occupancy rate of 84.25%.
The film's international success is equally impressive, with Pushpa 2 raking in an estimated $10.5 million (approx. ₹87cr) over its extended opening weekend in North America. Globally, the film has surpassed Prabhas starrer Kalki 2898 AD to take the biggest opening weekend for an Indian title in 2024 with a four-day overseas collection of $19+ million (approx. ₹161cr).
Trade experts predict that Pushpa 2 is likely to cross the ₹1,000cr mark in its first week, making it only the second Indian film after Kalki 2898 AD to enter the coveted ₹1,000cr club in 2024. Despite a predicted dip in numbers on Monday, its overall total is expected to reach the ₹850+ cr mark. With its record-breaking performance and global success, Pushpa 2: The Rule has cemented its place as one of the biggest hits of the year.
