Telugu Cinema business in US market has taken a terrible hit lately with even ultra biggies like Saaho and Sye Raa failing to rake in huge numbers.
Reaching the Million Dollar mark has become Herculean task for mid range films and biggies are struggling to post big numbers like Rangasthalam and Bharat Ane Nenu let alone Baahubali movies.
At this juncture, everyone in US film trade is closely watching on how Sankranthi biggies Sarileru Neekevvaru and Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo perform at the US box office.
The performance of these films will decide the future of Telugu movies in US markets henceforth.
Both the films are holding USA aces Mahesh and Trivikram in the hands, which will ensure good numbers to start with.
But there is Rajinikanth’s Darbar to compete with that wouldn’t give our films chance to have the biggest possible release.
Where could these films stand on the all time highest grossing films on the US premieres table?
As per our estimates, both the movies don’t have the chance of creating any records.
Sarileru Neekevvaru could post around $800K on premiere day from 300 locations and $20 ticket price.
Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo has the advantage of Saturday premieres, but it will only be screened in 190 locations and the premiere ticket price is fixed at $14, which gives it a chance to gross $600 to $700 on premiere day.
With Rajini factor and the opportunity to screen in maximum number of locations coupled with multilingual release, Darbar has an outside chance of grossing $1 Million from premieres.
As we stated above, this is just an estimate. What is your guess on the première numbers? Post it in the comments section below.
