Ramayana North America Box Office: $16.45 Million in Seven Days as Overseas Total Hits $34 Million

Ramayana: Part One has crossed $16 million in North America in just seven days, and the holiday delivered. The Nitesh Tiwari epic grossed $3.35 million (about Rs 32 crore) overseas on Wednesday, taking its seven-day overseas total to $34.15 million (about Rs 322 crore), according to Pinkvilla’s territorial breakdown — Rentrak’s unconverted tally puts the overseas figure higher still, at $35.60 million.

In North America, the film now stands at $16.45 million (about Rs 155 crore): $12.83 million from the United States and $3.63 million from Canada. Wednesday alone added nearly $1.93 million across the two countries — the United States was on holiday for Veterans Day and Canada observed Remembrance Day — and tracker Venky Box Office had the film at $1.63 million in North America by 7:15 pm Pacific time, still climbing. The United Kingdom has contributed $3.88 million, Australia $2.85 million and the Middle East $3.60 million, while Indonesia opened with $90,000 from around 37,000 tickets on its first day.

The run is rewriting the all-time North American chart for Bollywood. At $16.45 million, Ramayana has passed Jawan ($15.23 million) and Animal ($15.01 million) inside a week; Pathaan ($17.49 million) is now barely $1 million ahead, and Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge ($28.64 million) leads the chart. Pinkvilla expects the film’s extended first week to close at $36.25–36.50 million overseas, with a second weekend of $12–13 million overseas that could take it past $50 million by Sunday — and the trade now calls $60 million overseas a comfortable target, $65 million realistic, and even $70 million possible. The film is expected to cross Rs 1,000 crore worldwide today, its eighth day in theatres.

Here is the Filmverse take: the Wednesday number is the one that changes how this run is read. A $1.93 million weekday in North America, a week after a Diwali opening, is not opening-weekend euphoria — it is a holiday audience choosing Ramayana over everything else on the marquee, and doing it at premium-format prices. The film has now grossed Rs 100 crore-plus worldwide on every single day since release, and with no major Hindi release until Shah Rukh Khan’s King on December 24, the runway ahead is seven weeks long. The question is no longer whether Ramayana becomes the biggest Indian grosser overseas this year — it is how far past $60 million the run can go before East Asia, including China, Japan and Korea, even opens.
