Going by the recent turn of the box-office numbers and the changes that happened like the introduction of the movie pass and invasion of digital platforms like Amazon Prime looks like, ‘Sye Raa‘ will have a tough time with regard to its premiere numbers in the US.
Chiranjeevi’s last release, ‘Khaidi No 150′ has raked in $ 1.2 million as it was the first time that $2 T Mobile offer went viral and helped the movie in the US besides the fact that it was megastar’s come back movie. Now, things have changed with Amazon Prime has dented into the movies’ theatre collections big time.
Let’s see the recent biggie ‘Saaho’. It has opened advance booking way ahead of the release and still couldn’t get a decent number from the premieres. Going by the early predictions on ‘Saaho’ based on the number of theatres and the capacities, it is predicted that ‘Sye Raa’ will collect less than ‘Saaho’ premiers.
‘Saaho’ collected $ 900K from the premieres and that was actually expected to be more. So, the trade is curiously watching megastar’s ‘Sye Raa’ to see if his most prestigious and expensive project can beat the premiere record of ‘Khaidi No 150’.
