Initial reports indicate that the Hindi film, helmed by Aditya Dhar, is experiencing a strong opening weekend, with projections suggesting a single-day gross of between $4 million and $4.5 million. Featuring Ranveer Singh, the film boasts one of the largest releases for an Indian movie in North America, with 4,405 screenings scheduled. Here's how Dhurandhar 2 could potentially make history.
Dhurandhar 2 Aiming for Box Office Milestones in North America
According to Venky BoxOffice on X (formerly Twitter), Dhurandhar 2 is poised for a significant surge during its opening weekend in North America. So far, it has amassed $2,850,818 (approximately Rs 23.70 crore) from 4,405 screenings, with 206,620 advance tickets sold prior to its release.
The anticipated gross for Saturday could reach between $4 million and $4.5 million in a single day, with the possibility of even higher numbers as walk-in audiences arrive. Dhurandhar 2 is on track to achieve the highest single-day gross ever recorded for an Indian film in North America.Will Dhurandhar 2 Surpass Pushpa in North America?
The earnings for Dhurandhar 2 on Saturday, March 21, could potentially exceed the total lifetime earnings of several Indian blockbusters in North America. Notably, this Hindi film could achieve this remarkable feat within just 24 hours, while other successful films took weeks to reach similar figures. One of the films Dhurandhar 2 aims to surpass is Pushpa: The Rise (2021), featuring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna. If Dhurandhar: The Revenge secures $4-4.5 million on Saturday, it will surpass the entire North American earnings of the Telugu film.
While Dhurandhar 2 is set to make waves internationally, it is also breaking records domestically. The film has already crossed the Rs 300 crore mark within just three days. It generated an impressive Rs 145.55 crore from early paid previews on March 18, despite facing technical issues across the country. The sequel, which also features Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi, is expected to draw massive crowds at the Indian box office during its opening weekend.
