?A wait that lasted three years is coming to an end in a few hours as Allu Arjun and Sukumar’s long awaited Pushpa 2 is arriving at theatres worldwide. While the natural expectation is that the film is expected to set the box office on absolute fire. Here is a look at how big the box office projection of the film actually is.
Considering the substantial amount of ticket, price hikes that are in effect for the film in the domestic markets, and the consecutive shows that are lined up starting tonight, the film is expected to put up shattering numbers.
Pushpa 2 is releasing with unprecedented ticket prices in the domestic Telugu market, and this will certainly propel the film to put up huge numbers in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The Telugu states are expected to open on massive scale.
With the substantial push from the Hindi market and also overseas, the box office projection of Pushpa 2 is in the vicinity of ₹250 crores, gross worldwide. In that case, Pushpa 2 will be the biggest opener in the history of Telugu cinema by beating the standing record holder RRR.
The point of difference, here is the substantial collections that are projected to be racked up in the Hindi belt, which wasn’t the case with RRR which opened moderately here.
In terms of footfalls Pushpa 2 is not going to be even remotely close to Baahubali 2, but with the kind of ticket prices that are in effect for the Allu Arjun film, it should easily be able to breach the existing box office opening day records.
To put that into perspective, RRR opened in the vicinity of ₹234 crores gross at the global box office. As for Pushpa 2, this film is expected to marginally better this tally by collecting in the range of ₹250 crores on its first day.
With a massive opening is all, but confirmed, it all comes down to the actual content and the word of mouth which will decide its long run and final box office numbers. We will get a better picture of the long run box office prospects by the completion of the first weekend.
