Sankranthi Biggies Face Slow Start in North America Pre-Sales
Both The Raja Saab and Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, the major Telugu releases for this Sankranthi, are facing certain challenges in the North American market. Limited theatre availability and relatively muted pre-release buzz have impacted their advance sales, resulting in moderate pre-sales figures so far.
The Raja Saab, starring Prabhas and directed by Maruthi, has collected close to USD 800K from premiere show pre-sales. Trade circles expect it to cross the USD 1 million mark before premieres begin, though initial expectations were higher, ideally around USD 1.5 million. With Maruthi not being a strong box-office draw among the general audience overseas, the film’s advance sales are largely driven by Prabhas’s star power.
On the other hand, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, directed by Anil Ravipudi and headlined by Megastar Chiranjeevi, has delivered a somewhat underwhelming surprise in terms of pre-sales. The film also stars Victory Venkatesh, who recently tasted massive success with Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, raising expectations further. Additionally, Chiranjeevi enjoys a loyal fan base in North America.
Despite this strong combination, the film has managed to cross only USD 200K in premiere pre-sales so far. However, with four more days remaining before premiere shows, there is still scope for a late surge if promotional momentum picks up.
