Saripodhaa Is Trending Well in the U.S.

Nani’s movies are known to open well in the U.S. market, whether or not they perform at the same level in the Telugu states.

Saripodhaa Sanivaaram is trending well in the U.S., with premieres collecting $547,757, and the Day One Thursday trend looks very healthy.

By around 8 PM EST on Thursday, Saripodhaa Sanivaaram had collected about $200K, bringing the total gross to $750K.

Nani is expected to score his 10th one-million-dollar film by Friday, and Saripodhaa will benefit from the extra Labor Day holiday weekend. Nani’s career-highest grosser in North America was Dasara, which collected $2 million, followed by Hi Nanna, which grossed $1.8 million.

Saripodhaa Sanivaaram needs to collect about $1.6 million to reach the break-even mark, which seems likely by Monday.
