The Dasara period is a crucial season for Telugu films. Even at the USA box office, the season is considered to bring in the big moolah.
We have seen industry hits like “Dookudu” and “Attharintiki Daaredi” during this season. However, this year, the box office performance of Dasara releases is quite underwhelming.
Among the three new films, Chiranjeevi’s “Godfather” is leading in the collections. The film is likely to reach the $1 million mark this weekend. The weekend begins today. So, the collections are expected to go northwards.
#Godfather: Tue: $319,131Wed: $165,284 Thu: $100k Total Gross: $585k (apprx)
“The Ghost” took the lowest-ever opening for a Nagarjuna starrer after “Officer”. The USA audiences are showing no interest to see Nagarjuna in action dramas.
#Ghost: Tue: $34,363 Wed: $18,829 Thu: $15k Total Gross: $68k (apprx)
The small film “Swathimuthyam” has not many takers and the gross is negligible to note.
Mani Ratnam’s “Ponniyan Selvan” grossed $4.7 million by the end of the first week.
