Coolie vs WAR 2 Box Office Showdown

The highly anticipated box office competition between Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie and Hrithik Roshan and NTR's War 2 is set to heat up on August 14th. In a surprising turn of events, Coolie has beaten War 2 in Telugu advance bookings in America, with pre-sales for Premiers already crossing $1.1M.

The advance bookings for Coolie are looking promising, with the film expected to set a record for Kollywood premieres before actual shows start. In contrast, War 2's advance bookings have been slow, with Premier's advances standing at $200K currently. The Telugu version of Coolie is trending higher than the Telugu version of War 2, with premiere bookings at $200K compared to War 2's $150K.

From a business perspective, War 2 needs to do double what Coolie does in all areas to justify its expectations. However, the current trend is below Coolie's in the USA advances, which is disappointing. It remains to be seen whether the trend will change in the coming days.

The box office showdown between Coolie and War 2 is shaping up to be an intense competition. With Coolie taking the lead in Telugu advance bookings in America, the pressure is on War 2 to perform well and live up to its expectations. The outcome of this competition will be eagerly watched by fans and industry experts alike.
