Superstar Mahesh Babu’s SPYder had set up a few pre-release records in terms of business and wide release. The film was expected to create numerous box office records but the disastrous performance started right from day one. Nonetheless, the film has now helped Mahesh create a new record in US. The question is, is it really worthy of celebration?
By crossing USD 1.5 million at US box office, SPYder has become the 4th film starring Mahesh after Dookudu, SVSC and Srimanthudu to enter the USD 1.5 million club. No other hero has as many films in this club, with NTR being the close second with 3 films.
While fans of Mahesh are calling him ‘King of Overseas BO’ referring to this feat, trade analysts say the feat is no big deal for a film which raked in USD 1 million from premieres itself. They point out that even ‘Aagadu’, which raked in just over 500K from premiers, collected almost USD 1.5 million in full run. ‘When compared to ‘Fidaa’ and ‘Arjun Reddy’, which had relatively lesser popular heroes, where does SPYder stands in US?, questioned a rational movie goer.
Going by the measly amounts SPYder is raking in at US box office, trade predicts the film to go down as one of the biggest loss-incurring films in overseas.
