movie collections site boxofficeguru ani vine untaru, it is like bible for english movie collections maintained by girish papndey. anduloki mana TElugu cinema Bahuballi ekkesindi. picha happy day today: see the notes: Indian films often do well in the North American market, but their distributors rarely report opening weekend estimates on Sundays. Though no official data was reported, the Telugu-language historical epic Baahubali generated a mammoth debut generating somewhere in the area of $4M+ from Thursday night through Sunday. Touted as India's most expensive film and filled with visual effects, the movie won universal praise from the country's film critics helping to drive excitement. About 170 theaters in North America were playing it with Tamil and Hindi dubs contributing a small portion and the Telugu version seeing the vast majority of the sales. With some venues playing multiple languages the total screen count was over 200. The incredible weekend average was in the $20,000 range. As is often the case with A-list films from South India, ticket prices were much higher for the premiere shows on Thursday and Friday with many locations charging in the $20 to $28 range per ticket which helped the overall gross swell. By comparison, the largest Bollywood opening weekend ever here was $3.6M from 272 locations last December for Aamir Khan's PK which had standard pricing and not much coming from Thursday pre-shows. Baahubali has been well-received by audiences so it may not erode as quickly as most Indian commercial films do. Given that only a fraction of the Indian-American population speaks Telugu, this opening weekend performance was jaw-dropping - and possibly record-breaking if and when official numbers get reported.
