After a good start at the overseas box office, all recent Telugu movies fizzled out in the last week. Despite having a long weekend, no film managed to collect promising figures due to the inclement weather conditions.
Nani’s MCA, which had a consistent run after a strong start, touched the million dollar mark in this weekend and is likely to break even by the end of its full run. The family entertainer collected $ 28K and $ 30K on its second Friday and Saturday respectively.
After collecting good figures in the first weekend, Akhil’s Hello also couldn’t sustain at the overseas box office in the second weekend. With $ 25K and $36K figures on second Friday and Saturday, the film’s total gross now stands close to $900K mark. As it is an own release by production house, the film might end up as a decent grosser.
Allu Sirish’s recent outing Okka Kshanam, who took an encouraging start with a $ 77K haul on its opening day, failed to improve over the weekend as the film collected just $ 49K and $ 47K on Friday and Saturday respectively taking the overall total to $ 175K ( by Sunday). The science fiction thriller might just manage to recover theatre expenses as the break even point is way too far at $ 550K.
