Rajinikanth starrer 2Point0 picked up well at the US box office on its first Saturday after a lukewarm start with moderate numbers on its first two days.
The Shankar directional, which opened with heavy expectations from trade circles, took off to a slow start from Wednesday premiers. The film collected close to $ 980K on first day including premiers. There is a noticeable jump in numbers on Friday as the film lapped up just over $ 700K to take the total past $ 1.6 M.
On its first Saturday, 2Point0 notched up strong revenues in all areas and collected more than $ 1M gross to surpass the $ 2.5M mark at the US box office. Due to poor planning and high ticket prices, the film started off quite disappointingly. But, it is now set for a strong show on weekend. Trade circles have pinned hopes on a solid weekend performance for the film to emerge as a box office hit in overseas.
The extravagant visuals and the power-packed performances by the star cast have garnered decent reviews from critics.
