Pushpa 2 should have ideally been scheduled for release on
august 15, which is less than two weeks away. However, due to the postponement, the
movie will now be released on
december 6, which is still quite some time away. Speaking of this, it was anticipated that
pushpa 2 will release in
hindi for about Rs 50 Cr nett.
This is in light of the excitement around the sequel and the team's successful round of promotions throughout the
hindi belt. But the whole dynamic shifts with the postponement. The prior estimated figures for the
movie will no longer be valid. The postponement from
january to
march caused a significant decline in the opening day forecasts even in the case of RRR. The primary cause is that the buzz was somewhat muted by the delay.
pushpa 2 in the crucial
hindi belt may be in the same situation.
Given the well-established trend that delays negatively impact
box office potential, it remains to be seen if
pushpa 2's initial projected gross of Rs 50 crore is a lost cause.
pushpa would have been among the greatest debuts ever and would have even broken
kgf 2's record of Rs 54 crore if it had debuted between Rs 50 crore and Rs 60 crore. However, it might not hold true when the
movie opens in December.
