"The Raja Saab" US Advance Sales: Prabhas Film Needs 34% to Beat "Kalki 2898 AD"

Prabhas is poised for another box office triumph in North America in 2026. Advance ticket sales for the US premiere of "The Raja Saab" have begun and are showing promising results.

The film needs just a 34% increase in sales over the next six days to exceed the advance booking numbers of "Kalki 2898 AD".

"The Raja Saab" US Premiere Pre-Sales (27 Days to Go)

According to Venky Box Office, "The Raja Saab" has already surpassed $100,000 in pre-sales for its US premiere. It has sold over 3,400 tickets across 855 showings in 283 locations. With 27 days still remaining until the premiere, anticipation is expected to grow, especially with the release of new promotional materials. The hype is predicted to significantly increase once the official trailer is released.

Currently, total pre-sales in North America stand at $103,000.

On Track to Surpass "Kalki 2898 AD"

In June 2024, Nag Ashwin's "Kalki 2898 AD" recorded $134,000 in pre-sales 20 days before its premiere. It sold 4,200 tickets despite having fewer screens: 474 showings across 116 US locations.

"The Raja Saab," Prabhas's upcoming romantic horror comedy, requires a 34% increase in pre-sales within the next week to surpass "Kalki 2898 AD." This target seems achievable. That said, the reality is a bit more complicated. "Kalki 2898 AD" ultimately achieved $3.9 million in final pre-sales, becoming the highest-grossing Telugu film for premieres. Only time will reveal if "The Raja Saab" can break this record at the North American box office.
