The Paradise has numbers. The audit is still in traffic
Nani’s Telugu film is listed for a September 24 North American release, while reported advance-sales claims have climbed from $100,000 to $480,000. The receipts, naturally, remain off-screen.
Reported advance-sales figures for The Paradise have risen ahead of a publicly reconciled ticket ledger.
The North American release of Nani’s The Paradise is confirmed for September 24, 2026, with Cinemark listing the Telugu film with English subtitles under “Advance Tickets”. The listing gives a three-hour runtime but no territory-wide screen count or sales figures. (Cinemark)
The advance-sales story is less settled. Prathyangira Cinemas, the overseas distributor, claimed more than $100,000 in premiere bookings through Cinemark on September 9. Later reports put North American premiere advances above $200,000, then $250,000 with more than 10,000 tickets, and around $480,000 by September 19. One report cited approximately 18,800 tickets; another put North American opening-day advances at $525,000. (V6 Velugu; 123 Telugu; Koimoi; TrackTollywood)
These may cover different dates, shows or territories. No cinema-chain statement, ticket ledger or public breakdown reconciles them. Cinemark lists September 24; the distributor refers to September 23 premieres. The film has a release date and several promotional totals. The record can wait for the receipts.
