After setting US box-office on fire on Premiere day, megastar Chiranjeevi’s “Khaidi No 150” is now struggling to post big numbers. Is it because the real weekend has not yet begun for US audiences?
The film needs to perform strongly in the next three days to reach the target of 2.5 million dollars. The distributors would only get break-even if the film goes past this mark. As of now it is clear that it would enter into two million dollars club by end of the first weekend.
There is also controversy that the huge collection that the movie grossed with Premiere shows is due to the t-mobile promotion. The company gave tickets for mere $2 as part of its company’s promotion and American Telugus grabbed this opportunity to buy the tickets of “Khaidi No 150” on that day.
The film has now crossed 1.5 million dollars on Thursday. Total cumulative figure is $1,508,824. This is biggest total for any Telugu movie for the first three non-weekend days.
#KhaidiNo150 Crossed $ 1.5 mn in USA. Tue $ 1,275,497, Wed $ 156,094, Thu $76,000 . Total: $ 1,50,7591 [₹ 10.25 cr].
