Just a few years back, we all were awestruck when a movie reaches $1 Million at the Box-Office. But, with star power and the audience are ready to spend a huge amount, $1 Million seems to be a soft target. The best example is 'Pellichoopulu'. The movie which completely took everyone by surprise dominated the Box-Office.
Now, even during this Sankranti, Telugu fans have spent a total of whopping $3.7 Million on the three new releases. This is the 2nd biggest revenue weekend in US Telugu Film History. However, to recall the history, during July'15 'Baahubali' alone grossed $4.4 Million in its first weekend.
All movies had a dream run till Sunday and they took advantage of the long festival weekend. Even last year, it was a complete feast for fans. Gautamiputra Satakarni and Shathamanam Bhavathi are doing exceptionally well in overseas.
Chiranjeevi's 'Khaidi No 150' and Balayya's 'Gautamiputra Satakarni' took advantage of this craze and weekend advantage and they set cash registers ringing. Now, as the overseas market is encouraging, we may face a time where $1 Million is going to be a cake walk and soon we will have another milestone for star actors.
