You may have come across reports suggesting that Pushpa 2 might struggle to break even in North America due to its slowing momentum, making it challenging to reach the $15 million mark needed to bring profits to the distributor.
However, a closer look at the data and the film's current performance indicates that it still has significant potential to achieve this milestone.
Pushpa 2 has grossed $13.5 million so far in North America.
With no competition from new releases like Bachhalamalli, UI, or Vidudala 2 in the USA, the film is well-positioned to capitalize on the upcoming weekend and the extended Christmas holiday period.
While the Telugu audience turnout may decline, the Hindi-speaking audience is expected to contribute significantly, helping the film edge closer to the $15 million target.
At its current pace, Pushpa 2 is poised to surpass the collections of RRR in North America, which grossed $15.3 million. This achievement would not only secure profits for the distributor but also mark a notable success for the film.
Initially, the makers of Pushpa 2 had high hopes of breaking the record set by Kalki 2898 AD. While that may not materialize, surpassing RRR's collection remains a realistic and significant milestone for the film.
