There were no straight Telugu releases last weekend at North American box-office. Hence distributors got good number of screens for the two Tamil – Telugu movies despite completion from Bollywood movies.
Karthi’s “Kaashmora” was released in Tamil and Telugu and the movie grossed about $290k.
Since Karthi is very popular among Telugu audiences, the film received decent numbers on Friday and Saturday. Karthi’s “Kaashmora” performed better than Ajay Devgan’s “Shivay” which is grossed about $250k.
On the other hand, Dhanush’s Kodi aka Dharma Yogi turned out to be disaster. It barely grossed $50k in its opening weekend.
Karan Johar’s star-studded film “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil” was the first choice for all the audiences. It grossed nearly two million dollars in its opening weekend.
Meanwhile, “Premam” has almost ended its run in USA. The film now stands at $830k gross.
