Ranveer Singh’s upcoming spy action film Dhurandhar: The Revenge is already making headlines at the box office even before its trailer release. The sequel to the 2025 hit Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar, has recorded massive advance bookings in the North American market, signalling huge overseas demand for the film.
With nearly two weeks still left for its theatrical release, the movie has already crossed an important milestone by surpassing the opening-day numbers of the original film in the United States. The strong early response suggests that the sequel could open much bigger than its predecessor when it arrives in theatres.
Dhurandhar 2 Records Huge Advance Sales in North America
According to early tracking data shared by box office tracker Venky Box Office, Dhurandhar: The Revenge has collected approximately $301.6K in premiere advance bookings in the United States.
The film has reportedly sold over 18.8K tickets across 845 shows in 527 locations, an impressive achievement considering that the movie is still 13 days away from its theatrical premiere.
Advance booking numbers for Indian films in overseas markets usually grow significantly closer to release, which means the current figures could increase sharply in the coming days.
Trade observers believe that if the current pace continues, the film’s premiere advance bookings could easily double before opening night.
Sequel Already Beats First Film’s Opening-Day Numbers
One of the most surprising developments is that the sequel has already surpassed the opening-day performance of the first film.
When Dhurandhar released in December 2025, it earned approximately $317K on its opening day in the United States.
However, Dhurandhar: The Revenge has already generated around $430K in opening-day advance sales, beating the original film’s first-day collection even before its theatrical debut.
This early milestone highlights the growing popularity of the franchise and the massive anticipation surrounding the sequel.
Can Dhurandhar Challenge Animal’s Record?
With such strong early numbers, trade experts are now wondering whether Dhurandhar: The Revenge could challenge the North American premiere record held by Ranbir Kapoor’s blockbuster Animal.
Animal currently holds the record for the highest premiere pre-sales in the United States for an Indian film, with advance bookings crossing $650K.
Industry trackers believe that if ticket demand continues to rise and additional shows are added in the coming days, Dhurandhar: The Revenge might come close to breaking that benchmark.
Another factor that could help the film’s box office prospects is the postponement of Yash’s upcoming action film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups.
Originally scheduled to release on the same date, Toxic has now been pushed to June 4, 2026, effectively clearing the way for Dhurandhar 2 to enjoy a stronger solo run at the box office.
Trailer Release Date Confirmed
Excitement surrounding the film increased further after Ranveer Singh shared a brand-new poster of the movie on social media.
The actor confirmed that the official trailer of Dhurandhar: The Revenge will be released on March 7 at 11:01 AM.
In the poster, Ranveer appears in an intense action avatar holding a gun, hinting at the high-stakes action and espionage drama that the sequel promises.
