Vijay, Rashmika's Ranabaali Faces Stiff Competition in USA
12 Oct
Summary
- Ranabaali's advance sales in the USA are slow, needing acceleration.
- The film aims for a $2.2 million break-even point in North America.
- Ranabaali faces competition from the popular Rajinikanth film Jailer 2.
Ranabaali, starring Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna, is set for release on October 16, 2026. The film's advance ticket sales in the USA have been slow, necessitating increased momentum in the final four days before its premiere. The Telugu period drama, directed by Rahul Sankrityan, has collected approximately $52,000 in North America through advance bookings.
The film faces a significant box office challenge from Rajinikanth's Jailer 2, which is scheduled for release a day earlier. Jailer 2's popularity and anticipated screen dominance are expected to impact Ranabaali's performance. Even in North America, Jailer 2's Telugu version has already garnered $71,000 in advance sales.
To achieve profitability in North America, Ranabaali must gross $2.2 million, equivalent to 21.29 crore Indian rupees. This target, while substantial, is considered attainable due to Vijay Deverakonda's established market presence, as evidenced by his previous film Kingdom's performance. Positive audience reception and consistent ticket sales will be crucial for Ranabaali's success.
