Rajinikanth’s Coolie Set to Lead Tamil Nadu but Miss India’s Top-10 Openers

Advance US ticket sales topping $128K highlight strong overseas buzz ahead of the August 14 clash with War 2.

Overview

  • August 14 release will pit Coolie directly against Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s War 2 in one of the year’s biggest box office battles.
  • Forecasts predict Coolie will top Tamil Nadu collections while facing pronounced underperformance in Hindi and Telugu-speaking markets.
  • Analysts estimate the film will fall short of India’s all-time top-10 single-day openings unless it exceeds Jr NTR’s Devara debut of ₹83 crore.
  • Over 4,500 US premiere tickets have been sold in advance, generating roughly $128,000 in early overseas revenue.
  • Robust pre-release deals for satellite, digital, music and overseas rights have already added substantial earnings ahead of the public launch.
