Coolie North America Premiere Advance Booking: Rajinikanth's Gangster Action Drama Creates History, Beats Kabali

Los Angeles, August 12 - Superstar Rajinikanth has outshone himself at the North American box office by taking his upcoming gangster action drama Coolie into the $2 million premiere day gross collection club, and has created history for Tamil cinema.

Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie's premiere pre-sales have crossed $2 million in North America, making it the first-ever Tamil film to achieve this feat. Rajinikanth's Kabali (2016) previously held the record with a $1.93 million premiere day, and Coolie No. 1 has outgrossed this with pre-sales only.



The total premiere advance booking gross collection of Coolie is $2.10 million, including $1.85 million in the USA alone, with 2 days still left for the premiere. At this pace, the movie is heading for $3 million premiere opening in North America, which is a monstrous start.

Meanwhile, Coolie is marching towards scoring 100 crores advance booking gross collection worldwide for the first day. As of now, the Rajinikanth-starrer has grossed approximately 65 crores, including around 40 crores from the international markets. The movie is releasing on August 14.

Produced by Sun Pictures, Coolie is headed to score one of the biggest openings for an Indian film, and possibly the biggest for Tamil cinema. The first time combination of Rajinikanth and director Lokesh, with a top supporting cast, is creating havoc in pre-sales. If the audience word of mouth remains positive, then Coolie is sure to become the biggest Tamil grosser of all time.
