US BO Clash: Who's Winning Jana Nayagan Vs Raja Saab?

The United States box office is set for a big clash on January 9 and things are starting to shape up for the big showdown at the ticket counters.

The USA premiere advance sales numbers for two major Indian releases, Jana Nayagan and The Raja Saab, paint an exciting picture as both films head into the final stretch before release with nine days still to go.

Jana Nayagan has recorded strong momentum in advance bookings across the United States. The film has collected 230,614 dollars from 195 locations through 419 premiere shows, selling a total of 11,291 tickets so far.

With additional locations and shows continuing to open, the total North America premiere advances have already touched the 300,000 dollar mark. This indicates healthy audience interest and steady growth, especially considering that bookings are still expanding rather than peaking. The consistent pace suggests that Jana Nayagan is likely to see further gains as awareness and promotional activities intensify closer to premiere day.

On the other hand, The Raja Saab has taken a slightly different route with a wider release footprint. The film has earned 280,619 dollars from 342 locations with a massive 1,021 premiere shows, selling 9,899 tickets to date. Total North America premiere advances currently stand at around 290,000 dollars.

While the ticket count is slightly lower compared to Jana Nayagan, the wider show count highlights strong distributor confidence. Historically, films with such scale tend to witness sharp jumps in the final week, and The Raja Saab is expected to follow that trend.

Overall, both films are well positioned for solid premiere performances in the USA, with the coming days expected to significantly boost their final advance numbers.
