Dacoit Sets New Benchmark: $352K North America Premiere Career Best Opening for Adivi Sesh

Adivi Sesh’s Dacoit has delivered a career-defining moment in North America. The romantic action thriller has posted an updated premiere gross of $352K from its USA and Canada shows. The figure cements Dacoit as Sesh’s biggest opener to date, comfortably surpassing the $270K premiere mark set by his previous film, Major.  

The strong number reflects the goodwill Adivi Sesh has built with overseas audiences. Post Major and HIT 2, the actor has carved a niche for himself in the North American market among Telugu cinema fans who back content-driven action films. Early traction for Dacoit in advance sales translated into solid walk-ins, pushing the premiere total past the $350K milestone.  

Directed by debutant Shaneil Deo, Dacoit stars Sesh alongside Mrunal Thakur, with Anurag Kashyap, Prakash Raj, and Zayn Marie Khan in key roles. The film’s gritty tone, intense action, and Sesh’s rugged avatar drew strong interest through the pre-release phase. The $352K premiere gives it a strong platform heading into the opening weekend.  

With premieres wrapped, all eyes are now on Day 1. The updated $352K haul not only sets a new personal best for Adivi Sesh but also signals distributor confidence in his box office pull overseas. If the momentum holds, Dacoit is positioned for a career-high North America run.
