Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2 is a smash hit, and there is no denying this fact. The way it has been breaking records one after another has even surprised trade experts. At OTTplay, we previously reported that Pushpa 2 needs to earn $16 million to break even. According to the latest updates, the film has grossed just over $13 million and still requires $3 million to reach the safe zone.
Pushpa 2 latest US collections
The movie has completed two weeks of its theatrical run, but occupancy rates in the U.S. have slowed down. A U.S.-based trade expert revealed that it will be quite challenging for Pushpa 2 to break even in the region. The Sukumar-directed film was sold at exorbitant rates in the U.S., and many anticipated that breaking even might be difficult, a prediction that seems to be coming true.
A post-release promotional event was planned in the US but it was canceled at the last minute. Although the distributors in the US may not see significant profits, they are unlikely to suffer major losses either, as a substantial portion of the revenue has already been recovered.
Allu Arjun's arrest boosts Pushpa 2 collecitons in Telugu states
The arrest of Allu Arjun in connection with the Sandhya Theater stampede case has also boosted the film’s occupancy rates in Telugu states. However, in the US, the momentum has slowed. On the other hand, Allu Arjun is at the peak of his career, with Pushpa 2 showing no signs of slowing down in the Hindi market. The Bollywood collections for the film are approaching ₹600 crores, and Pushpa 2 is on track to become one of the biggest hits in India.
In the Telugu states, some regions, such as Nizam, have already broken even, but several major centers in Andhra Pradesh are still working toward it. With no major releases slated for this weekend, Pushpa 2 will likely have more breathing room at the box office. The upcoming Christmas holiday season is also expected to boost its performance in the US, and it remains to be seen how much the film can earn in the coming days.
Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, Pushpa 2 was self-distributed by the production house in most areas. Rashmika Mandanna stars as the female lead, and her performance has been widely appreciated. Stay tuned for more updates on this project.
