NRIPage | Box Office | 2024: A Landmark Year for Telugu Movies at the North America Box Office | Get Indian Desi Movie News. Latest Buzz about Indian Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Hollywood & other upcoming movies - NRI Page
Telugu movies have consistently performed well at the North American box office, particularly in the USA, where they often outshine other South Indian films. Currently, the top two highest-grossing Indian films in North America are both Telugu: Baahubali 2 and Kalki 2898 AD.
Looking ahead, 2024 is poised to be a landmark year for Telugu cinema, with projections indicating that the cumulative gross of all Telugu films released in a single calendar year will exceed $50 million for the first time. This milestone could even reach up to $60 million, especially with the highly anticipated release of Pushpa 2: The Rule, scheduled for December 5th.
As of now, Telugu films have already garnered close to $43 million in North America this year, with the top six grossing films including:
Kalki 2898 AD: $18.57 million
Devara: $6.01 million
Hanuman: $5.26 million
Tillu 2: $2.93 million
Guntur Kaaram: $2.63 million
Saripodhaa Sanivaaram: $2.5 million
With Pushpa 2: The Rule on the horizon, the cumulative gross of Telugu films is expected to surpass the $50 million mark, with a strong possibility of reaching $60 to $70 million if the film meets expectations.
This surge in box office performance is attributed to a growing Telugu diaspora in the USA, particularly among students, which has increased significantly post-COVID. If major stars continue to release at least one film per year, crossing the $50 million cumulative gross threshold may become the new norm in the years to come.
