Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Katamarayudu’ opened to mixed talk from first day. Post release, this talk has shown an adverse effect on audience turnout at theaters and revenue at ticket counters. Especially in the overseas American film trade market, ‘Katamarayudu’ slowed down from Saturday and the decline is reported to be sharp on Sunday though Pawan Kalyan has yet again reached 1 Million dollar mark so easily within the first weekend.
Below is the day wise gross from USA:
Friday - $685,894 From 224 Screens (including premiers)
Saturday - $243,187 From 208 Screens
Sunday - $79,976 From 131 Screens - Total - $ 1,009,057.
However, ‘Katamarayudu’ still has a long way to go in order to safeguard the investments made by the USA distributor and other area wise buyers.
