Dhanush’s action drama Kuberaa, directed by Sekhar Kammula is off to a flying start in the North American circuit With advance bookings for its premiere advance booking are closing on a high, the film is now poised for a strong opening day performance As per the latest trade data, Kuberaa has raked in $193,250 ( Rs 1.65 crore) from 403 locations across 803 shows in the USA alone, selling over 11,000 tickets before its premiere day tomorrow. Including sales from Canada and other parts of North America, the film’s total premiere advance collections have reached an impressive $210,000.What’s particularly noteworthy is the massive surge in advance bookings on the final day. On June 18, the USA advance sales stood at $115,800. Within 24 hours, this figure shot up by 66.9%, adding $77,453 on the last day of sales — a clear indication of rising audience interest and positive pre-release buzz surrounding the film.This robust growth has set Kuberaa on track for a $350K+ premiere day gross in North America, which would mark a highly promising overseas debut for the film. The combination of its action narrative, visually rich promos, and Dhanush, Rashmika Mandanna and Nagarjuna’s loyal fanbase has evidently struck a chord with audiences abroad.Trade suggest that if the premiere night and weekend word-of-mouth hold steady, Kuberaa could emerge as one of the better-performing Indian films in the overseas market this year. The film’s performance is also expected to boost the genre of action dramas, which has been drawing renewed interest internationally.With the film all set to hit screens tomorrow in North America, all eyes are now on its premiere shows to see whether Kuberaa can convert this excellent advance momentum into box office success.The film would be clashing with Aamir Khan and Genelia D’souza’s Sitaare Zameen Par.
