Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 was a force to be reckoned with during the first phase of its theatrical run. Mythri Movie Makers’ Telugu action drama was released in Japan on January 26, 2026. Unfortunately, the beginning wasn’t as expected as it failed to enter the top 10 footfalls registered by Indian films in the overseas circuit. Scroll below for the day 1 update!
Pushpa 2 footfalls in Japan on day 1
According to the official data by Mimorin, Pushpa 2: The Rule registered only 886 admissions on its opening day. There were screens in around 53 theatres across 68 locations in Japan. The pre-release buzz was promising. In fact, we even saw Allu Arjun mobbed by fans in the overseas market, ahead of the big release. Unfortunately, the response was underwhelming.
All eyes are now on whether Sukumar’s directorial grows with its exciting content or crashes in its first weekend at the Japanese box office. Fingers crossed!
