Hyderabad, November 26 - In less than 2 weeks, superstar Allu Arjun's highly-anticipated action drama Pushpa 2 - The Rule hits the big screen and expectations are that it will be among the biggest Indian openers, and possibly the biggest opener at the box office. ## Over the last couple of years, Indian cinema has seen some of the biggest blockbusters which exceeded theatrical runtime of 3 hours. And now, Pushpa 2 can be among those as the rumoured runtime of the same is almost the same as Ranbir Kapoor's A-rated mega-blockbuster Animal. ## According to the reports, the theatrical runtime of Pushpa 2 is approximately 3 hours and 21 minutes which is almost 22 minutes more than the first movie, Pushpa - The Rise. Normally, action films can give the feel of being stretched with this much runtime but the reports indicate that the film is coming out very well as the final edit is being locked. ## Pushpa - The Rule is directed by Sukumar and produced by Mythri Movie Makers in association with Sukumar Writings. It is the second part of Pushpa - The Rise which was released in December 2021 and emerged as a box office success. The movie stars Allu Arjun in the title role alongside Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil. ## Pushpa 2 is scheduled to be released on December 5 in multiple languages. ## Stay tuned...

Both movies collectively grossed over $2.4 billion worldwide and were two of the year's highest-grossing films, with Barbie finishing at the top with $1.44 billion. ## More than a year later, another box office clash called Glicked (Gladiator II and Wicked) is making waves.

Through Sunday (November 24), G2 has made $165.5 million at the overseas box office while it debuted domestically (North America) on November 22 and grossed $55 million in the opening weekend for a worldwide cume of $220 million. ## Wicked, which is a musical fantasy film starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, had a strong debut domestically with a huge $112.5 million opening weekend.

Chennai, November 25 - Tamil star Suriya's most ambitious film Kanguva has crossed 100 crores gross at the worldwide box office. While this could have been a major milestone of any other film of Suriya, the same is not with Kanguva which is facing outright rejection from audiences after a promising yet underwhelming start. ## Directed by Siva, Kanguva was a film keenly awaited by audiences and was seen as a potential big blockbuster at the box office. But all the hype around the film faded immediately after it got a disastrous reception from the moviegoers and critics upon release and there was no relief since then. ## The film crossed 100 crores gross at the worldwide box office on its 10th day. Domestically, Kanguva has grossed approximately 78 crores, including around 32 crores gross in Tamil Nadu. Overseas, the movie has minted an estimated approximately 23 crore gross for 101 crores worldwide gross in 10 days. ## As said, Kanguva's performance at the box office has been a shocker and it is nowhere near the tall claims made by the makers before the release. It is one of the biggest disasters in Tamil cinema history and is heading towards finishing around 105-110 crores gross worldwide. ## Stay tuned...
