Keep reading for an in depth report!
Pawan Kalyan is one among the largest crowd pullers amongst Tollywood stars in North America. Nevertheless, there have been a pair of things which have led to his latest release receiving underwhelming buzz among the many audience. The primary and major factor is that the film is reportedly a remake of Thalapathy Vijay’s Theri. One other thing is the strong competition from Dhurandhar 2. Interestingly, despite being an original Hindi film, there’s strong anticipation for Dhurandhar 2 among the many Telugu diaspora.
Disappointing premiere pre-sales for Ustaad Bhagat Singh in North America
Ever for the reason that advance booking in North America began, the response has been below par. With the trailer, a giant spike was expected, but for the reason that trailer was disappointing, it didn’t boost pre-sales. As per the ultimate update, Ustaad Bhagat Singh closed its premiere pre-sales at $320K. Out of this, $291K has come from the USA, with a sale of 12.8K tickets, reports Venky Box Office.
Such numbers are highly disappointing for a Pawan Kalyan film, and now, Ustaad Bhagat Singh is heading for an underwhelming premiere day of $450K-$500K.
Talking concerning the final premiere pre-sales of OG, it had grossed a whopping $2.57 million on the North American box office. Because of this, the USA alone contributed sales of $2.5 million. Compared, Ustaad Bhagat Singh registered 87.54% lower premiere pre-sales than OG.
