As Pushpa 2 gears up for its U.S. theatrical debut on December 4, the excitement and anticipation have reached a fever pitch.
The film's premiere shows are set to begin in just a few hours, with fans eagerly speculating on how much the movie will earn from its premiere screenings in North America.
For comparison, Devara grossed $3,792,005 ($3.7 million) on its opening day, with approximately $2.8 million coming from premiere shows.
Prabhas's Kalki 2898 AD recorded an impressive $5,560,793 ($5.5 million) on Day 1, with around $4 million from its premiere screenings.
Currently, Pushpa 2 is projected to gross below Devara's premiere collections.
Unless there is a significant last-minute surge in ticket sales on the day of the premiere, the Allu Arjun starrer is unlikely to break any existing records.
Despite Allu Arjun’s hopes of surpassing Prabhas's record, the film may not even reach NTR’s figures.
Nevertheless, Pushpa 2 will mark a significant milestone in Allu Arjun's career.
His previous North American box office record, Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, achieved a lifetime gross of $3.6 million.
Pushpa 2 is expected to surpass that total within its first day or two, setting a new personal best for the star.
