Superstar Mahesh Babu’s latest outing ‘SPYder’, which seemed all poised to break the non-Baahubali US premieres held by Megastar Chiranjeevi’s ‘Khaidi No.150’, fell well short of the expectations.
As per trade reports, SPYder collected close to $1 million from premieres held in 300 locations in US (a few centres yet to report so the the final number will be updated very soon). Going by the strong advance ticket booking, the film was expected to rake in around $1.5 million from premieres but it couldn’t go past 1 million.
Nonetheless, this is the second highest number of 2017 and the fourth overall. Baahubal 2, Baahubali and Khaidi No.150 still retain the Top 3 places. The film comfortably beat Jr.NTR’s “Jai Lava Kusa”, which had collected $588K from premieres.
SPYder is the fourth film starring Mahesh, after Brahmotsavam, Srimanthudu and Aagadu, to collect more than half a million dollar with premiers. Mahesh is the only hero to have 4 films in the Top 10 list of US Premieres grossers.
With mixed talk and impending threat with Sharwanand’s ‘Mahanubhavudu’, Spyder may have difficulty in recovering the investment.
