Reports also note a rush in international markets, with advance sales in North America and other territories showing strong early performance. Pre-sales figures from several overseas circuits indicate sustained interest among the expatriate and global fan base, adding to the film’s robust opening-week prospects. source
The movie carries significant commercial momentum due to its timing: a pan-Indian release planned close to Independence Day, strong promotional activity, and the combination of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s contemporary action sensibilities with Rajinikanth’s mass appeal. Early indicators suggest the film may outperform recent regional releases in opening-day and opening-week collections if the advance booking trends hold. source
Industry observers highlight that advance-booking spikes are not just a measure of fandom but also predictive of opening-week footfall; distribution partners are reportedly expanding show counts in key markets to meet demand. With ticket sales surging and audience anticipation high, Coolie is widely expected to be one of this year’s major box-office events.
