Dhurandhar: The Revenge Advance Sales Skyrocket, Targeting $3 Million North American Debut
The highly anticipated Bollywood sequel 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' is generating massive buzz as its advance ticket sales continue to surge with just one week remaining until its worldwide release. Starring Ranveer Singh in the lead role, the film is projected to achieve a remarkable $3 million debut at the North American box office, signaling a powerful start for the franchise.
Impressive North American Advance Figures
According to the latest data from Venky box office, the film's advance collections for North America premiere shows have already reached an estimated $975,000. The opening day advance sales, which include premiere screenings, have climbed to $1.45 million, while the total first weekend advance collections stand at an impressive $2.8 million.
With a full week still to go before the official release, industry analysts are closely watching to see if the movie can set new records in advance ticket sales.

The advance revenue distribution across key US states reveals strong regional interest:
- Texas leads with the highest gross total of $162,198
