LOS ANGELES, CA – In a surprising turn of events, the Telugu film “Hanuman” has overshadowed the highly anticipated “Guntur Kaaram” at the USA Box Office. Despite being produced by a lesser-known director and featuring a relatively smaller lead actor under a modest banner, “Hanuman” has managed to outshine its heavyweight competitor.
“Guntur Kaaram,” backed by a superstar known as the ‘USA-Collection King,’ was produced under a prominent banner and had a renowned director attached to it. However, it seems that these factors have not been enough to secure its dominance at the box office.
With an overall collection of USD 2.2 million and its run expected to conclude soon, “Guntur Kaaram” has been unable to match the success of “Hanuman.” The latter has already surpassed the USD 2.4 million mark and continues to perform well, displaying sustained demand in the coming days.
Trade analysts are astonished by the overwhelming performance of “Hanuman” at the USA Box Office, as the film has managed to break numerous records. Particularly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, the movie has witnessed the highest occupancies seen in Telugu Cinema for a considerable period of time. The film’s remarkable display in this market has left industry experts in awe.
As of 10 am PST on Day 3, “Hanuman” raked in an astounding $500,057 from 356 locations, exceeding all expectations and truly surprising industry insiders. On the other hand, “Guntur Kaaram” is struggling in North America, with minimal improvement over the weekend and a lack of walk-ins. It is predicted that the film’s run will almost come to an end by Tuesday, heading towards a 40% loss in this region.
Additionally, two other films, “Saindhav” and “NaaSaamiRanga,” have also failed to make an impact at the box office. “Saindhav” made $19,930 from 136 locations on Day 2, while “NaaSaamiRanga” collected $14,797 from 63 locations on Day 1.
In conclusion, “Hanuman” has emerged as a surprising frontrunner at the USA Box Office, surpassing the highly anticipated “Guntur Kaaram” and capturing the attention of moviegoers across the nation. Its remarkable performance continues to impress trade analysts and set new records, proving its enduring popularity among Telugu cinema fans.
