Allu Arjun movie Pushpa 2 The Rule film was released in Japan on 16th January 2026. Before the Pushpa 2 release date, there were claims around the big release and wide theater listing, but the truth is something else. Various reports are circulating in the media, making random claims. Hence, Pushpa 2 Japan Box Office data will be covered by Inside Box Office (IBO).
Allu Arjun upcoming movies with Atlee and Lokesh Kanagaraj are already making a lot of noise, and Pushpa 2 has already made a lot of money in India. Currently, Pushpa 2: The Rule is the highest-grossing film in India and the third-highest-grossing Indian film worldwide, behind Dangal and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. The Japan market is important, as it officially marks the Phase 2 release of an Indian film, and there is hope the film will collect more and increase its worldwide gross. RRR was a sensation, and then there were many releases. Some did break out, and some didn’t.
Let’s analyze the Pushpa 2 Japan box office collection.

An Overview of the Japan Box Office Collection for Indian Movies

How Many Screens Does Pushpa 2 Have in Japan?
There are claims of 250+ theaters and 200+ theaters, but the actual count is 68. This isn’t a small number, but it’s not as important as word of mouth, which matters more and will drive the Pushpa 2 Japan box office report, which will drive the film’s lifetime run.
How much Did Pushpa 2 Collect in Japan on Day 1?
Pushpa 2 sold 868 tickets across 53 theaters and 127 shows on Day 1, according to Mimorin, which is a very poor number. Pushpa 2 Japan collection day 1 shows an estimated gross of $8950, which doesn’t matter, as the Japan market is about long runs and big totals. Still, here it matters because the film was a huge blockbuster in India, and the film’s team spent a lot on Japan visits, planning campaigns, and visits. 
Why Mimorin for Pushpa 2 Box Office Collection in Japan?
Trade analysts and trackers mostly use Mimorin to track Day 1 or Opening Day box office in Japan, because tracking portals like Inside Box Office rely on distributor reports from ComScore or Rentrak, and Indian films mostly feature at the bottom and are not in the top 10. 
In fact, on Mimorin daily box office, Pushpa 2: The Rule – Japan Box Office ranks at #25, which is probably the last number. If Pushpa 2 didn’t feature in the Top 25, even we, as a portal, wouldn’t have known much about its Day 1, and we probably would have reached out to the distributor there.
What is the Total Collection for Pushpa 2 in Japan?
On Day 1, Pushpa 2 was released in 68 theaters. Out of these, 53 theaters reported 868 ticket sales out of 18,750 seats, as for Pushpa 2 box office updates, which is an occupancy of less than 5%. These numbers are extremely poor. Based on estimates, the film could have at best secured 1,200 admissions on Day 1. 
Why Are Opening Day Numbers Taken From Mimorin Always?
The film trade always believes in an apple-to-apple comparison, and this is why the opening-day box office of all Indian films is sourced from Mimorin in the initial stage. Later, weekend or lifetime collections are sourced from ComScore, local distributors, or Rentrak. 
Tracking portals like Inside Box Office rely on Distributor Reports, ComScore, or Rentrak, as Indian films rarely feature in the top 10 or 20. It would be unfair to compare the Mimorin number of one film to the ComScore or distributor number of the other film. Mimorin covers 75% to 80% of the theaters, and hence no significant changes in box-office standing or ranking are observed.
