Pushpa 2 box office collection Day 51: Allu Arjun-starrer continues to attract audience in 8th week with extended cut, ahead of Baahubali 2 by Rs 200 cr

Pushpa 2: The Rule has made more money in Hindi in comparison to Telugu but this week, Hindi audiences also have the option to watch Akshay Kumar’s film Sky Force, which could affect Pushpa 2’s collections. The Telugu numbers were already dwindling because of the triple strikes that happened on Sankranti with the release of Game Changer, Daaku Maharaaj, and Sankrantiki Vasthunnam.

Mythri Movie Makers, who backed the Allu Arjun-Sukumar film, managed to get an uptick in the collections as they released an extended version of the film, with 20 minutes of extra footage on January 17. In the seventh week, after the release of the extended cut, Pushpa 2: The Rule made Rs 5.85 crore.

Meanwhile, after its 50-day run, the makers of Pushpa 2 released a statement that read, “50 iconic days of Pushpa 2: The Rule in theatres. Indian cinema’s industry hit rewrote many records and set new benchmarks at the box office. Book your tickets today to enjoy the reloaded version.” The film earned over Rs 1800 crore at the global box office in just 32 days, as claimed by the producers, and surpassed the numbers of SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali 2.

Pushpa 2: The Rule, which also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Fahadh Faasil, and Sunil, is expected to adhere to the eight-week gap between the theatrical and streaming release, and is expected to be out on OTT next week.
