Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 was supposed to be released on August 15 and clash with Singham Again. But now the film has been postponed, and while the new release date has not been announced, it is expected that the film might take up either Diwali or Christmas. However this delay will change the entire dynamics about the film’s box office opening.
Pushpa 2’s Expected Box Office Opening Earlier
Allu Arjun was expected to break records, bringing in 180 – 200 crore gross collection worldwide when it was supposed to release on August 15 despite having a clash with Ajay Devgn’s Singham Again. Out of this, 65 crore was expected from Hindi collection itself.
Now, with the changed release date, it would be interesting to see if the film maintains its anticipation, not letting the expectations drop and impact the opening day numbers at the box office, which is currently very huge!
Pushpa 2 was released on August 15, a four-day weekend that could have increased the numbers for the Allu Arjun starrer. This extra push will now be a rarity on any other release date that the film opts to arrive in the theaters. Now that Pushpa 2 has emptied the slot for August 15, the four-day weekend has been occupied by Akshay Kumar’s Khel Khel Mein, John Abraham’s Vedaa, and Shraddha Kapoor – Rajkummar Rao’s Stree 2.
Meanwhile, Singham Again has moved forward from August 15 and occupied the Diwali release date, keeping the chances of a clash with Allu Arjun‘s Pushpa 2 intact.
Will Any Other Release Date Affect The Box Office
Pushpa: The Rise was non-holiday and non-festival release. But it turned out to be one of the biggest films of that year, nailing records in the Hindi belt as well. So, changing the release date of the film might not impact the box office numbers as some viral claims are hinting at. In fact, it might built the anticipation better, bringing an unbelievable opening at the box office. All eyes on what new benchmarks the film would set!
