Premam is on a song at the overseas ticket window. The film has collected $ 525K in its first weekend. This is Naga Chaitanya’s best as a solo lead.
Except Manam, which collected over Million dollars, none of Chaitanya’s films were able to breach the half million mark until Premam.
Positive pre release buzz helped the film to put up decent numbers for the premiere shows. Positive word of mouth and good reviews have been helping the film to conquer the box office.
With no movies slated for next Friday, Premam has chances to get closer to the Million dollar mark, says overseas trade sources.
While Premam has been having a ball at the box office, other Dasara releases have been struggling to find audience.
Eedu Gold Ehe release was delayed due to technical issues and by the time everything was set, the reviews and talk were out that the producer asked the distributor to not to screen the film in US.
Abhinetri had a pathetic first weekend with mere $ 10K collection. Majnu collected $ 515K until now, which is pretty ordinary compared to Nani’s recent releases.
