Rajinikanth's 'Jailer' beats Sunny's 'Gadar 2' in advance bookings

Rajinikanth's upcoming film 'Jailer' has been generating significant buzz ever since its trailer was released earlier this month. The film has managed to sell more than 6,12,000 tickets on the online ticket booking app BookMyShow as of Monday, August 8, according to a report by Business Today.

'Jailer's' advance booking has crossed all the major film releases in the upcoming week. Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel-starrer commercial potboiler 'Gadar 2' has sold around 83,300 tickets across three national multiplex chains.

The anticipation for the Thalaivar film has also resulted in it becoming director Nelson Dilipkumar’s highest-grossing premiere in the United States. Jailer achieved premiere advance ticket sales worth approximately



$664,000 as of Monday.

This figure significantly surpasses the director's previous project Beast, which featured Thalapathy Vijay and Pooja Hegde in lead roles and generated around $658,000 in ticket sales.

'Gadar 2' will likely make around Rs 30 crore to Rs 35 crore on its opening day and around Rs 120 crore to Rs 130 crore in terms of net domestic box office, as per trade analyst Sumit Kadel. Kadel added he believes that Gadar 2 will be a blockbuster and that “Sunny Deol will show the new generation his PEAK STARDOM of the 90s again in 2023 (sic).”

'OMG 2', on the other hand, has managed to sell around 26,000 tickets for its opening day and could see a gross box office collection of around Rs 80.96 lakh.
