Advance ticket sales for the upcoming film Ramayana Part One have officially commenced in international markets, following the recent debut of the production's
second trailer. Early tracking data suggests a robust start for the project, which features Ranbir Kapoor and Yash in lead roles. The film is currently seeing significant engagement across key territories, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. The initial performance of the film in overseas markets is being compared to the early trends set by Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which saw notable presales earlier this year. While direct comparisons are being drawn, industry observers note that the rollout strategies differ, with Ramayana benefiting from a broader initial release slate compared to the more limited opening seen by previous titles.
International Market Performance and Distribution Strategy
In the United States, the film has generated approximately USD 125,000 in preview ticket sales within the first 24 hours, with total weekend presales currently estimated at around USD 200,000. Australia has also reported a strong opening, marking the second-best start for an Indian film in that region, trailing only Dhurandhar: The Revenge, with weekend sales reaching AUD 40,000. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom is showing steady interest, though current figures remain behind the records set by major releases like Jawan and Pathaan.The international distribution for the film is being managed by Sony Pictures. The studio has focused on securing high-quality showtimes at premium, high-performing cinema locations rather than simply maximizing the total number of screens. This strategic approach aims to ensure consistent visibility in key markets with significant Indian diaspora populations. Industry analysts have cautioned that while data from ticket booking platforms is circulating, these figures often include blocked seats and do not account for variations in average ticket pricing, meaning they should be viewed as estimates rather than finalized box office collections.
