As anticipated, the Indian box office is set for an electrifying week with two major releases—War 2 and Coolie—arriving on August 14. While both films carry high expectations, Rajinikanth’s Coolie is clearly leading the pre-release race, setting new benchmarks in advance ticket sales.
In North America, Coolie has already crossed the $1 million mark in premiere pre-sales, significantly ahead of War 2—which stars Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR—currently estimated at $200,000–$300,000. Overseas, the buzz for Coolie is even stronger, with total pre-sales reportedly exceeding $2 million.
The film’s performance in Kerala has been nothing short of phenomenal. Within just five hours of bookings opening, Coolie sold nearly 200,000 tickets, raking in approximately ₹3 crore. The overwhelming response underscores both Rajinikanth’s enduring star power and the anticipation for director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s latest venture.
Trade analysts predict Coolie could deliver a staggering ₹80 crore or more worldwide on its opening day, driven by exceptional advance sales in both domestic and international markets. By contrast, War 2’s booking momentum remains comparatively modest.
With a superstar lead, a celebrated director, and an aggressive promotional campaign, Coolie is poised for one of the biggest openings of 2025, redefining pre-release records for Tamil cinema across the globe.
