Baahubali: The Epic – Breaking Box Office Records Against New Releases

Box Office Predictions for Baahubali: The Epic

Advance ticket sales for Baahubali: The Epic have been impressive both locally and internationally. Reports from Sacnilk indicate that by Thursday afternoon, the film had already garnered ₹5 crore through advance ticket sales. This figure climbed to ₹6 crore by the day’s end, setting a record for the highest advance booking for a re-released Indian film.

According to industry insiders, Baahubali: The Epic could potentially achieve net earnings between ₹10-12 crore in India and gross earnings ranging from ₹20-25 crore worldwide. This performance might even eclipse some of the year’s top Telugu films—like Mirai, which raked in ₹12 crore on its opening day, and Thandel with ₹10 crore.

Records Set to Be Broken

This film is on track to break several major records on its opening day. It is anticipated to become the highest-grossing re-release in Indian cinema, surpassing the current record held by Pawan Kalyan’s Gabbar Singh, which collected ₹5.1 crore upon its re-release. Worldwide, it is projected to outdo Ghilli’s prior record of ₹8 crore as well.

In addition, Mahesh Babu’s Khaleja remains the highest-grossing re-release in Telugu cinema, netting ₹11 crore in its second run. Baahubali: The Epic is expected to surpass this on its very first day. If word of mouth is favorable, it could also cross the ₹100 crore mark.
