The Paradise pre-sales claim needs a source
The film is on advance sale in North America, but the reported $140,000 and 5,000-ticket figures remain unverified trade claims.
The Paradise is listed for advance sale; the reported figures remain unverified.
The Paradise is on advance sale in North America, with Cinemark listing the Nani-starrer for September 24, 2026. A theatre listing also shows a September 23 screening at Cinemark Paradise 24 and XD, suggesting premiere shows may begin earlier.
A trade report published on September 10 claimed that North American pre-sales had crossed $140,000, with more than 5,000 tickets sold. It did not identify the distributor, ticketing platform, venues covered or whether the figure referred to gross sales, distributor share, taxes or booking fees. Cinema arithmetic, unlike film publicity, still requires an author.
Cinemark’s own listing confirms only the film, its Telugu-language format, advance tickets and release date. It does not confirm the reported sales total or the claim that this is a North American Telugu pre-sales record. Neither SLV Cinemas nor Cinemark is publicly cited in the consulted material as confirming the figures. For now, The Paradise has a release listing and a trade claim. The $140,000 remains waiting for its source.
