According to BookMyShow, the Prabhas and Rana Daggubati-starrer got a decent advance booking across India on its third Wednesday and tickets of some shows have already been sold out. As per early trends, Bahubali 2 is likely to collect nearly Rs 20 crore gross in the global market on its 20th day.
Bahubali 2 needs to collect Rs 50 crore gross at the worldwide box office to surpass the mark of Rs 1,500 crore. The movie has two days to complete three weeks in theatres. Considering its pace of collection, the film may not set this historic record by the end of its third week, but it will surely achieve the feat in the fourth week.
Several movies from various Indian languages are gearing up for release this weekend. They will reduce the screen count of Bahubali 2. It may face tough competition from much-hyped movies like Eshava (Telugu), Sangili Bungili Kadhava Thorae (Tamil) and Bangara s/o Bangaradha Manushya (Kannada), and Half Girlfriend and Hindi Medium (Hindi) in its fourth week.
