“Saaho” is creating rampage at the domestic box-office. Despite low ratings from the critics and facing trolling from the netizens, the Prabhas starrer is posting humungous collection figures in India.
The movie will become one of the biggest earners in the domestic market if it continues the same momentum.
On the other hand, “Saaho” is performing on a rather dull note at the USA box-office.
The USA distributor got shocked by premiere shows as it did not even touch a $1 million mark on that day when all the big movies like “Spyder”, “Khaidi No 150”, “Agnyaathavaasi” have collected more than $1 million from premiere shows.
At one time, it looked like the film would collapse on Friday itself but luckily, it continued holding on at the ticket window. By end of the first weekend, “Saaho” has raked in an average collection of about $2.5 million.
#Saaho: Premieres: $915, Friday: $545k, Saturday: $493k Sunday: $400k (apprx) Total Weekend Gross - $2.45 Million
For a normal Telugu biggie, this collection is considered huge. However, “Saaho” is sold for high prices to the distributors. The film was bought for Rs 42 for the entire overseas.
As the film promoted another “Baahubali 2” and was released in four languages with a lot of hype, this weekend opening is too low.
Gulf and Australia ($800k) are contributing to the kitty in good numbers.
