Indian action sequel Pushpa 2: The Rule looks to post successful global results when it debuts Thursday, December 5th. The follow-up to 2021’s Pushpa: The Rise, Sukumar directs the 200 minute epic tale with leading man Allu Arjun headlining. Costars include Rashmika Mandanna, Fahadh Faasil, Jagapathi Babu, and Dhananjaya.
The Rise was India’s largest grosser of 2021 though its earnings were limited domestically ($850k) due to COVID. The Rule should certainly make the bulk of its cash overseas as it’s posted record pre-release biz in its home nation. Yet it appears poised to exceed its predecessor’s gross in the U.S. and then some. My Friday to Sunday estimate puts it in mid single digits.
Pushpa 2: The Rule opening weekend prediction: $5.9 million

Any guesses as to how Y2K opens this weekend? Is it getting a wide release?
holding off on prediction unless I see a confirmed theater count
It’s playing at my local 8-screen AMC, and they rarely open films that are appearing on less than 1000 screens. It’ll finish in the top 6 this weekend easily, fighting for scraps behind the big 3 and Red One.
