‘Ramayana’ US Premiere Bookings: Ranbir Kapoor, Yash-starrer Set To Enter Top 3 Indian Films, Beats ‘RRR,’ Eyes ‘Baahubali 2’ Record
“Ramayana: Part 1,” which started on a strong note at the overseas box office, is on the verge of achieving one more major milestone in the United States.
To date, the film has sold approximately 36,800 tickets in its presales worth $810,000 for its November 4 US paid previews. With this, it has surpassed the premiere-ticket equivalents of blockbusters like “RRR,” “Pathaan,” “Pushpa 2” and “Jawan,” among others, to grab the fourth spot in the list of maximum tickets sold for an Indian film for US paid previews. While the film is expected to cross “Baahubali 2” and “Kalki 2898 AD,” it would be interesting to see whether it will surpass “Dhurandhar: The Revenge” to grab the top spot in the list.
