The highly anticipated sequel Pushpa 2: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, has quickly become a box office sensation, amassing a colossal $92.75 million worldwide in its opening weekend. This incredible achievement has propelled the film to the second-highest-grossing spot globally for the weekend, only behind Moana 2.

In North America, the film enjoyed a stellar debut with an estimated $9.3 million, becoming the highest-grossing new release of the weekend. Although it hasn’t yet reached the box office heights of Baahubali 2 and Pathaan, Pushpa 2‘s performance in overseas markets is a testament to the growing popularity of Indian cinema across the globe.
At the core of Pushpa 2‘s massive success is Allu Arjun’s captivating portrayal of Pushpa Raj, the fierce crime kingpin. His performance, coupled with the strong direction of Sukumar and an ensemble cast, has turned the film into a global phenomenon. The intense action sequences and gripping narrative have captured the attention of audiences worldwide.
With its continued box office dominance, Pushpa 2 is on track to shatter even more records and firmly establish itself as one of the top-grossing films of 2024. As the film’s reach expands, it’s clear that Pushpa 2 has more milestones to conquer in the global cinema landscape.
