Pushpa 2 Ticket Prices Hiked and Paid Premieres Announced
The Hype Surrounding Pushpa 2: The Rule’s Release
All eyes are on the upcoming release of Allu Arjun’s highly anticipated film, Pushpa: The Rule. The movie is slated for a grand pan-India release on December 5, 2024, and fans across the country are eagerly waiting to see the next chapter of the action-packed saga. As the buzz around the film intensifies, Telangana has announced a significant development regarding its release on ticket price hiked.
Ticket Hikes and Special Premiere Screenings
In a move that’s sure to excite moviegoers, the Telangana government has authorized a ticket hike and the special paid premieres of the film, a day before its official release. According to the notification, special benefit shows will be held on December 4, starting at 09:30 PM across both single screens and multiplexes in Telangana. The ticket prices for these special shows will be Rs. 800.
In addition to the premieres on December 4, extra shows will also be scheduled at 01:00 AM and 04:00 AM on December 5, with a further increase in ticket rates.
Ticket Price Hiked Structure from Dec 5 to Dec 23
The ticket price hike doesn’t stop with the premieres. For regular shows starting on December 5, the ticket prices for single screens will increase by Rs. 150, bringing the average cost to Rs. 300-350 for the first four days (until December 8). After December 8, ticket prices will decrease to Rs. 105 for the period from December 9 to 16.
From December 17 to 23, ticket rates will be raised once again by Rs. 20. The average cost for tickets in single screens during this period will be Rs. 350-400.
For multiplexes and IMAX theatres, the pricing structure follows a similar pattern. From December 5 to December 8, tickets will cost Rs. 200, with rates adjusted to Rs. 150 between December 9 and 16. After that, from December 17 to 23, ticket rates will rise by Rs. 50, with the average ticket cost in multiplexes expected to range between Rs. 400-450.
Impact of Ticket Hiked and Paid Premieres on Collections
While the ticket price hikes reflect the growing anticipation for Pushpa 2: The Rule, the decision to host paid premieres a day before the official release might have an interesting effect on first-day collections. By offering early screenings at premium prices, the film could face a dip in earnings on the actual release day. Nonetheless, the premium pricing and buzz could help maintain the film’s strong performance throughout its opening week.
Ultimately, the success of this strategy will depend on audience reception and the sustained excitement for Allu Arjun’s much-awaited return in this high-octane action movie.
Final Thoughts
With a massive ticket hike and special premieres, Pushpa 2: The Rule is already setting the stage for a record-breaking release. As December 5 approaches, fans and moviegoers can expect a thrilling cinematic experience. The big question remains: will the increased ticket prices and special premieres benefit the film in the long run? Only time will tell, but the film is certainly set to make a splash at the box office.
