Baahubali: The Epic Creates Sensation with Record-Breaking Advance Sales in the USA!
The anticipation for SS Rajamouli and Prabhas’ cinematic masterpiece Baahubali: The Epic is reaching fever pitch across the globe. The film’s advance bookings, which opened a few days ago in the USA, have received an earth-shattering response. Trade analysts predict that the epic could surpass $1 million from premiere shows alone, setting the stage for a historic re-release.
In Hyderabad too, the excitement is palpable. Select theatres that opened bookings early witnessed an instant surge in sales, with Baahubali: The Epic trending hourly on BookMyShow. Reports indicate that the film is currently selling over 5,000 tickets per hour, and this momentum is expected to accelerate rapidly as more screens open.
Presented as a grand re-cut edition with a runtime of 3 hours and 44 minutes, this version brings together both parts of the original saga into one seamless narrative. Produced by Arka Media Works, the magnum opus features an ensemble cast including Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah Bhatia, Ramya Krishnan, Sathyaraj, and Nassar. The timeless music and score by MM Keeravani continue to elevate the emotional depth and grandeur of the film.
In the USA, Baahubali: The Epic has already smashed advance sales records, collecting over USD 205,000 (₹1.8 crore) from premiere shows alone, with more than 10,000 tickets sold within days of booking. Fans are abuzz on social media, and numbers are expected to soar as the film gears up for its October 31 release.
This special edition not only unites Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion but also promises to deliver the ultimate theatrical experience — with epic visuals, breathtaking action, and soul-stirring drama that defined the franchise’s legacy. The US distributors, who also backed RRR, have secured top screens and premium IMAX formats to ensure audiences experience the spectacle in all its glory.
Producer Shobu Yarlagadda revealed that the idea of merging both films was considered as early as 2018–19 but was postponed due to other commitments. Now, fans are finally getting the complete experience they’ve long awaited.
It’s worth noting that Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion still holds the record as the highest-grossing Indian film in North America, with a phenomenal $22 million collection. This re-release not only reaffirms Prabhas’ stature as a global superstar but also celebrates SS Rajamouli’s unmatched vision and storytelling prowess.
With tickets selling like wildfire and the official Indian trailer dropping soon, Baahubali: The Epic is all set to remind the world once again why this saga remains one of the most extraordinary cinematic phenomena of our time.
