Coolie Overtakes War 2 In USA Advance Booking Race

This weekend at the box office feels like a cricket World Cup final. Two heavyweights are stepping into the arena War 2, the Telugu–Hindi bilingual loaded with Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR firepower, and Coolie, the Tamil mass storm led by none other than Superstar Rajinikanth. And the match has already begun… not on screen, but at the ticket counters.

The overseas scoreboard is already lighting up. The 2025 USA Premieres Pre-Sales for Telugu versions, just two days before release, are proof of the craze. Game Changer is still the king with $650K, but right behind is Coolie with a blazing $533K. Then comes HHVM at $406K, followed by War 2 locking in $332K. Kingdom and HIT 3 are also in the race with $316K and $268K respectively. And remember, these are just the warm-up numbers.

What makes it juicier is the difference in flavours. Coolie is pure Rajini-style mass big punches, bigger dialogues, and songs that can shake theatres. War 2 is a sleek action machine, aiming to impress not just South fans but pan-India and even global audiences. It’s like watching vintage masala clash with high-tech thriller on the same weekend.

With advance sales this strong, trade experts say the opening weekend could be explosive. Social media is already buzzing with fan wars, prediction battles, and box office guessing games. Now it’s just a matter of hours before the real fight begins and the first-day collection scoreboard decides who’s the real king of this cinematic clash.
