Pushpa 2: The Rule is on a roll and there is nothing that is stopping the rampage now white literally.
Pushpa 2 Box Office (Worldwide)
Last Updated: 10.35 AM, Dec 12, 2024
Once in a long while comes a movie that disrupts the box office realm in the way Pushpa 2: The Rule has done. The Allu Arjun starrer, which opened exactly a week ago with paid previews on Wednesday, has turned out to be a juggernaut at the box office. It continues to break records and stands as one of the most powerful performers in Indian cinema. The collections of Pushpa 2 need to be dissected and studied, as the movie has achieved unprecedented success in the most surprising ways. Over the last two days, the Hindi box office collection has surpassed the South, which speaks volumes about its buzz. Adding to its accolades, the Rashmika Mandanna starrer has become the fastest Indian movie to earn ₹1,000 crore gross worldwide.
Pushpa 2: The Rule, a sequel to the 2022 blockbuster Pushpa: The Rise, was one of the most anticipated movies in India. The buzz around its release made it evident that it would shatter records upon hitting the big screen in December 2024. However, few could have predicted the magnitude of its success from the very beginning.
What is particularly noteworthy is that Pushpa 2, despite releasing on a Wednesday, had no holidays during its entire first week except for a single Sunday, which turned out to be massive. Apart from that, the movie opened in a complete non-holiday window.
Despite this challenge, Pushpa 2 has emerged as the clear winner of the 2024 box office war. According to Sacnilk, the film has set another record worldwide in its first week of release. It has become the fastest Indian movie to gross ₹1,000 crore at the global box office, surpassing the biggest milestones films aim to achieve. From this point onward, the film is essentially competing with itself.
At the Indian box office, Pushpa 2 has consistently delivered strong numbers. On Wednesday, despite being a weekday, the film witnessed an 18.53% drop in collections and earned ₹42 crore. On Day 6, it had earned ₹52.50 crore. However, the numbers are expected to spike as the movie heads into its second weekend, especially since there is no significant competition until December 25, when Varun Dhawan and Atlee’s Baby John releases.
Pushpa 2, directed by Sukumar, stars Allu Arjun, Fahadh Faasil, Rashmika Mandanna, and a recurring ensemble cast from the first film. The storyline takes place sometime after the events of the first installment, introducing us to a now happily married Pushpa, who still faces a lingering threat from Shekhawat. The narrative also delves into Pushpa’s lack of a family name and seeks to establish its significance. Anything more would be a spoiler!
