The Paradise hits $100K, according to its distributor

Nani’s film has advance tickets listed in the US, but the record claim remains a claim—not a public ledger.

A red rocket marked "$100K" rises from a cinema desk while a string connects it to a locked cabinet labelled "public ledger"; an empty spreadsheet and a calendar showing September 23 and 24 sit in the multiplex lobby.

The distributor has reported the figure; a public sales ledger has not been produced.

Nani’s The Paradise has crossed $100,000 in North American premiere pre-sales through Cinemark, according to overseas distributor Prathyangira Cinemas. The distributor also calls it the fastest Telugu film to reach that mark. Cinemark, rather less theatrically, lists the film as an advance-ticket title for September 24, 2026.

The $100,000 figure has been repeated by multiple reports, but they appear to trace back to the distributor or makers. No public Cinemark sales report, ticket count, location-wise breakdown or audited comparison was found. So the number is reported; the record is not independently established. Filmibeat attributes the four-hour claim to the makers, while Cinemark’s own listing says nothing about either $100,000 or “fastest”.

Selected US listings show September 23 premiere dates, ahead of the wider September 24 release. That makes the calendar slightly more complicated than the marketing copy. The distributor has supplied the headline; the ledger is still elsewhere.
