Srimanthudu overseas box office collections

Mahesh Babu’s ‘Srimanthudu’ has struck the right note with the premiere shows receiving an overwhelming response at the US Box office. However, it fell short in front of the collection record of "Aagadu" as well as "Baahubali".

‘Srimanthudu’ was released in 150 screens by the US distributors - Kiran Duggirala, Shiva Polavarapu, Vamsi Karumanchi and Sunil Pantra. The premier shows were reportedly held in 117 locations in the country.

With a record price of $15,000, tickets were sold for the premiere shows beating the record of "Baahubali" where the tickets were sold for a maximum price of Rs 10,000. Looking at the pre-release business, the distributors expected the premiere show would beat the record of "Baahubali - the Beginning".
