Akhanda 2 has grossed approximately $915K in North America, with just one day left to complete its first week in US theaters. The film also has only one more day to benefit from wider screen availability.

From Friday onwards, most North American screens will be taken over by the blockbuster “Avatar 3,” significantly reducing show counts for Akhanda 2. As a result, the film will not enjoy a free run in its second weekend, with limited screen availability expected.

Adding to the challenge, Bollywood release “Dhurandhar” continues to perform strongly even in its second week and is likely to dominate screens in its third week as well. Considering these factors, Akhanda 2 faces an uphill task in crossing the $1 million milestone. While there is still a chance the film might reach the mark by the end of its second weekend, it remains a difficult feat.

Most of Balakrishna’s recent films reached the $1 million mark within their opening weekend, making this a rare and challenging situation. Director Boyapati Srinu’s films have historically struggled in the North American market, and lukewarm ratings for Akhanda 2 have further impacted its overseas prospects.
