Rajinikanth’s Coolie Takes A HUGE Lead Over Hrithik Roshan And Jr NTR’s War 2 At US Box Office
A massive box office clash is brewing, and the first numbers are in with a shocking result. In the United States, the Rajinikanth starrer Coolie has taken a huge and unexpected lead in advance ticket sales over the much-awaited spy thriller War 2, which stars Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR.
With both films set to release in just over a week, this early trend has caught the film industry by surprise and set the stage for an intense battle at the box office.
With nine days still to go, the numbers show a surprising gap between the two films in the North American market. Coolie has already sold a phenomenal $1.2 million worth of tickets in advance bookings. In sharp contrast, War 2 has collected $205,000 so far from its Hindi and Telugu versions combined. This gives the Rajinikanth film a lead that is nearly six times bigger than its competitor. This trend isn’t just in the US; reports suggest Coolie is also leading in other overseas markets like Australia and New Zealand.
