Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 has crossed $1 million in overseas advance sales. The film releases worldwide on October 15.

Trackers say the advance booking is strong in the US, UK, and Gulf. Some track the figure between $700,000 and $800,000, but most now agree it has passed the $1 million mark.

The film is directed by Nelson Dilipkumar. It is one of the most awaited Tamil releases of the year.

Trade experts say Jailer 2 could break records. Rajinikanth’s Coolie holds the Kollywood overseas opening record at $8.75 million.

The makers are planning a wide release. Singapore is expected to get the widest release for a Tamil film.

The film has been cleared with a U/A certificate. Its runtime is about 165 minutes.

Advance sales are expected to rise in the final week. Fans are already booking tickets in large numbers, and trade pundits see a record opening on the cards.
