Ram Charan's Peddi is on the verge of achieving a significant milestone in North America. With two days still left for premiere shows, the film has already accumulated impressive advance booking numbers and is expected to comfortably cross the coveted $1 million mark in premiere pre-sales.According to Venky Box Office, the latest tracking data reveals that Peddi has grossed $784,611 in the USA from 533 locations, 1,647 shows, and 28,037 tickets sold. The detailed sales breakdown shared by Venky Box Office highlights the film's widespread appeal across premium formats and major theatre chains. Standard screens have contributed $505,045 from 19,279 tickets, while premium formats such as XD, RPX, D-Box and other PLF screens have collectively added nearly $280,000 to the total. Among theatre chains, Cinemark has emerged as the biggest contributor with $466,707 from 16,344 tickets sold, followed by Regal with $160,766. The data also shows healthy growth across premium screens, indicating strong audience interest in experiencing Peddi in enhanced formats, a trend usually associated with major event releases. Across North America, the film's premiere advance sales currently stand at $870,000 with 31,237 tickets sold. Given the strong momentum witnessed over the past few days, trade analysts expect a huge last-minute surge that could push the film past the seven-figure milestone before premieres commence.Crossing $1 million in North America premiere advance sales has traditionally been considered a prestigious benchmark for Telugu cinema. Only a handful of films have managed to enter this exclusive club over the years. Blockbusters such as Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, Agnyaathavaasi, Saaho, RRR, Adipurush, Salaar, Guntur Kaaram, Kalki 2898 AD, Devara, Pushpa 2: The Rule, Game Changer, They Call Him OG, and The Raja Saab have all achieved the feat. Peddi now looks set to become the latest addition to that elite list. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The strong overseas response reflects the anticipation surrounding the film. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi marks the filmmaker's first collaboration with Ram Charan. Ever since the project was announced, it has generated considerable buzz thanks to its rural sports-drama backdrop and the intriguing character transformation undertaken by the star.The film boasts an impressive cast led by Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor. Veteran Kannada superstar Shiva Rajkumar plays a crucial role, while Jagapathi Babu and Divyendu Sharma add further depth to the ensemble. The project has also attracted attention for its technical team, particularly with Academy Award-winning composer A.R. Rahman handling the music. One of the biggest positives for Peddi has been its growing momentum in overseas markets. North America remains one of the most important territories for Telugu films outside India, and a strong premiere performance often serves as a foundation for a successful theatrical run. The current advance sales trend suggests that audiences are responding positively to the film's promotional material and pre-release buzz. However, the film faces substantial box office expectations after release. According to the figures shared by Venky Box Office, Peddi's North America breakeven target across all languages has been pegged at $6.5 million. Meanwhile, the overall overseas breakeven point stands at approximately $9 million. While the advance sales indicate a promising start, the film will need sustained audience support over the coming weeks to achieve those targets. For now, all eyes remain on the $1 million milestone. With North America premiere advance sales already at $870,000 and two valuable days of bookings still remaining, Peddi appears well-positioned to join one of Telugu cinema's most exclusive overseas clubs even before its first show begins.

Bhooth Bangla has officially entered its seventh week, and it is honestly quite rare to see a mid-budget horror-comedy showing this kind of endurance at the box office. While most films lose their screen count by the fourth week, this Priyadarshan directorial is still pulling in numbers on its 46th day. On its seventh Monday, the film collected a net of ₹0.50 Cr in India, bringing its total domestic net collection to ₹179.85 Cr. If we look at the trend, the Monday collection saw a drop of about 54.5 percent compared to Sunday net of ₹1.10 Cr. Mind you, for a film in its seventh week, a 50 lakh Monday is a very healthy sign of stability. The film ran across 1,589 shows yesterday, showing that there is still enough audience interest to justify this level of screen presence despite newer competition. Looking at the regional occupancy, the National Capital Region led the way with 11.8 percent, while Lucknow and Ahmedabad followed with 10.8 percent and 9.3 percent respectively. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The most interesting part of this run is how Bhooth Bangla is stacking up against Akshay Kumar's other post-COVID hits. The film is currently chasing the domestic net collection of Housefull 5, which stands at ₹183.38 Cr. With Bhooth Bangla currently at ₹179.85 Cr, the gap is only ₹3.53 Cr. Based on the current pace where the film is adding roughly 50 to 60 lakhs on weekdays and seeing jumps on weekends, it looks like this milestone will be achieved in the next 8 to 10 days, likely by the end of its eighth week. While it might be difficult for the film to beat Housefull 5 in worldwide gross due to the latter's massive overseas pull, Bhooth Bangla is very much on the verge of becoming Akshay Kumar's second-highest domestic net grosser in the post-pandemic era, trailing only behind Sooryavanshi. You can see how the leaderboard looks for Akshay Kumar's recent domestic performers in the table below. Top 5 Akshay Kumar Movies Post-COVID - India Net CollectionMOVIE NAMEINDIA NET COLLECTIONSooryavanshi₹ 195.55 CrHousefull 5₹ 183.38 CrBhooth Bangla₹ 179.85 CrOMG 2₹ 151.16 CrJolly LLB 3₹ 117.50 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The digital footprint also confirms this steady interest. According to BookMyShow data, the film sold 8.28K tickets on its seventh Monday alone, taking the total tickets booked on the platform to over 33.60 lakhs. This kind of consistent footfall late into its theatrical run is a clear indicator that the horror-comedy genre, combined with the nostalgic Priyadarshan-Akshay duo, has worked its magic with the family audience. Looking at the global numbers, the total India gross collection has now reached ₹213.06 Cr. The overseas markets have contributed a solid ₹53.75 Cr to the total, bringing the worldwide gross to ₹266.81 Cr. With the domestic net collection sitting at ₹179.85 Cr, the film is effectively just a day away from crossing the ₹180 Cr milestone. This run has firmly established Bhooth Bangla as one of the most successful outings for Akshay Kumar in recent years, proving that the horror-comedy genre still has massive pull if the content connects with the ground audience.

Deool Band 2 has just crossed its second Monday, and the results show a very consistent interest from the Marathi audience. The film's narrative, centered on Swami Samarth's teachings, has successfully resonated with viewers across the state. On its 12th day, the film added a net of ₹2.60 Cr to its tally, taking the total India net collection to ₹46.65 Cr. When we look at the trend, the Day 12 collection represents a 54.8 percent drop from the previous day's net of ₹5.75 Cr. Mind you, a drop of this scale on the second Monday is completely normal for a film that had a massive second weekend. The film operated across 1,981 shows yesterday and maintained an overall occupancy of 30.0 percent. The hold in key Marathi hubs like Pune was particularly strong, where it recorded 35.5 percent occupancy across 404 shows. Mumbai followed with 25.8 percent occupancy, showing that the buzz hasn't dried up in the metropolitan areas either. What is truly fascinating is the pace at which Deool Band 2 is chasing milestones. With a total net of ₹46.65 Cr, the film is now just ₹3.35 Cr away from the coveted 50 crore net mark. Based on the current trend, the film is expected to hit this milestone by Day 14 or at the latest by its 15th day. To put this in context, it is set to become one of the fastest films released only in the Marathi language to achieve this feat. For comparison, the massive hit Baipan Bhari Deva took 17 days to reach the 50 crore mark, while Ved reached it on Day 21. It is currently neck-and-neck with Sairat, which also crossed the line around the 14-day mark. The film has already cemented its legacy by entering the elite list of the highest-grossing Marathi films of all time. Within just 12 days, it has climbed into the top five, surpassing several long-standing records. It currently sits at the fifth spot, but given the current momentum, it won't be surprising if it climbs higher in the coming weeks. You can see how the leaderboard stands currently in the table below. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Top 5 All-Time Marathi Net CollectionsMOVIE NAMEMARATHI NET COLLECTIONSairat₹ 80.97 CrBaipan Bhari Deva₹ 76.00 CrRaja Shivaji₹ 70.00 CrVed₹ 61.00 CrDeool Band 2₹ 46.65 Cr Looking at the broader financial picture, the domestic gross collection has reached ₹54.88 Cr. Since the film is strictly focused on its primary regional market in India, there has been no overseas collection reported so far. This brings the total worldwide gross to the same figure of ₹54.88 Cr, with the domestic market being the sole contributor. It is quite rare for a Marathi-only release to generate this kind of volume across 20,898 shows in such a short period. The focus now shifts to how quickly the film reaches the 50 crore net milestone as it moves through the week. The audience connection with the film's themes has been a steady driver for these figures. If the current trend continues, it stands a good chance of moving further up the all-time Marathi list, potentially closing the gap with movies like Ved and Raja Shivaji.
