Following a phenomenal run at the domestic box office, Ranbir Kapoor's film Ramayana is carving out new records overseas, generating massive traction among audiences in the United States and Canada. Prior to its release, industry pundits expressed varied opinions regarding its potential in international markets, but the film decisively proved its mettle within its opening week. In a span of just 8 days, the feature has surpassed the lifetime collections of Shah Rukh Khan's blockbuster movie Pathaan. Ramayana has now cemented its place among the top five highest-grossing Indian films in North America, while simultaneously securing the third position specifically within the category of Bollywood releases.
Stellar Cast and Total Earnings Breakdown
Featuring a prominent star cast including Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, and Sai Pallavi, Ramayana raked in a total of 18.34 million dollars, translating to approximately 172.87 crore rupees, across the box offices of the United States and Canada over its first 8 days. The cinematic venture has successfully drawn overseas audiences to cinema halls right from its inception, sustaining a strong momentum throughout.
Second Friday Performance and Box Office Trajectory
On its eighth day, marking the second Friday of its theatrical run, the film brought in a collection of 8.30 million dollars. This represented the very first instance that the daily earnings dipped below the one million dollar mark. Just a day prior on the seventh day, the movie had accumulated 1.86 million dollars. Consequently, the eighth-day figures witnessed a drop of approximately 55.38 percent in collections. Nevertheless, considering the robust overall figures of the first week, the film's market performance remains remarkably strong. A day-by-day analysis reveals that the project performed consistently well from day one, continuing to generate substantial revenue despite standard fluctuations.
Surpassing Pathaan and Setting Sights on Next Milestones
In the hierarchy of the highest-grossing Indian films across North America, Ramayana has officially claimed the fifth spot. It has successfully overtaken Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan, which had amassed a total of 17.49 million dollars over its entire theatrical journey. In contrast, Ramayana comfortably breached the 18.34 million dollar mark in a mere eight days. The project is now eyeing Prabhas's Kalki 2898 AD as its next major target. That feature had registered a total business of 18.57 million dollars in North America. To surge ahead of that benchmark and secure the fourth position on the leaderboard, Ramayana needs an additional collection of roughly 2.3 hundred thousand dollars.
