Due to some staggering early
trends, it was expected that Megastar Chiranjeevi's magnum opus 'Sye Raa' will
collect more than 1 Milion dollars from Premieres alone. At one point, trade
circles predicted an easy 1.3 million dollars gross for the premieres but the
result is something that is not expected.
#SyeRaa collected $857,765 (6.16 cr) from 308 locations as
per trade reports coming from the overseas. If we look at the Top 5 Premiere
Gross at the USA box office, we have Baahubali 2 ($ 2.4 Million), Agnyaatavasi
($1.5M), Baahubali 1 (1.36M), Khaidi No 150 (1.29M) and Spyder (1 Million) in
the club, and many expected that Megastar will break his own record now. But
somehow it didn't work.
Recently, after collecting $ 915K from premieres, a super
hyped and well-promoted film like Saaho failed to cut into the one million
club. On that note, we should say that Sye Raa did well, but better promotions
would have helped to enter the might club.
Also, there is a factor that USA market is turning dull these
days as films with top ratings and reviews are also not getting any decent
collections.
