U.S. BO: Prabhas Beating Thalapathy Again?

This Sankranthi is a jam packed one with multiple Telugu films headed for release. On top of that, we have multiple other language films as well, including Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay’s Jana Nayagan.

With just 14 days to go, the USA advance bookings are beginning to paint an interesting picture for two much anticipated Indian films, JanaNayagan and RajaSaab.

Early numbers indicate a clear difference in market reach, show allocation, and audience response, setting the stage for an intriguing pre release battle overseas.

JanaNayagan has so far collected 101,238 dollars from 210 shows, selling 4,906 tickets across the United States. These figures suggest a focused release strategy with limited screens but a decent turnout per show.

The film appears to be building steady momentum, relying more on content curiosity and word of mouth rather than aggressive show expansion at this stage. As promotions intensify closer to release, there is strong potential for these numbers to rise significantly.

On the other hand, RajaSaab has taken a wider release approach. With collections of 163,055 dollars from a massive 1,019 shows and 5,669 tickets sold, the film is clearly aiming for visibility and reach. While the per show occupancy seems lower, the sheer volume of shows highlights the confidence of distributors and exhibitors in the film’s commercial appeal.

Overall, RajaSaab leads in total gross and show count, while JanaNayagan shows promise with controlled distribution and solid engagement. The next two weeks will be crucial in determining which film gains the upper hand as release day approaches.
