In its initial seven days, Maidaan collected an India net collection of ₹27 crore 80 lakh. On its eighth day, the film earned ₹1 crore 65 lakh.

Pushpa 2 Box Office: Record-Breaking Pre-Release Earnings
Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 (Pushpa The Rule) has already broken numerous records in Indian cinema, surpassing films like RRR, Baahubali 2, KGF 2, and Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan and Jawan, even before its release. The film, which is slated for an August 15 release, has already generated over ₹600 crore in earnings prior to hitting screens.
The pre-release recovery details for Pushpa 2 highlight its massive success. The Hindi theatrical rights for the film were sold for ₹200-220 crore, while the overseas theatrical rights fetched ₹100 crore. Notably, the OTT (digital) rights for Pushpa 2 across all six languages (Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Bengali) were acquired by Netflix for ₹275 crore, setting an all-time record, surpassing RRR‘s previous record of ₹170 crore for its OTT rights. Additionally, the music rights for Pushpa 2 across all languages were sold for ₹75 crore. In total, Pushpa 2 has already recovered ₹640 crore from its Hindi theatrical rights, overseas theatrical rights, OTT rights, and music rights alone. This means the film has already earned double its budget before its theatrical release. Future earnings from South language theatrical rights and satellite rights are still pending. The film is anticipated to earn a minimum of ₹200 crore on its first day worldwide.

The estimated India net collection for its ninth day is approximately ₹1 crore 90 lakh, influenced by a reduction in screen count due to new Bollywood film releases. This brings the film’s initial nine-day India net collection to ₹54 crore 24 lakh. The India gross collection stands at ₹64 crore 55 lakh, and the nine-day worldwide box office collection is ₹103 crore 76 lakh. The film’s collections are significantly lower than initial expectations, as it is currently struggling to reach its budget.
