If you consider the mass hysteria of Baahubali is confined only to AP and Telangana, you may be mistaken. The Baahubali fever is engulfing US audience too. The movie’s Telugu version had taken a sensational start there by collecting $ 1,294,451 [ 8.20 cr] from premieres alone.

This is not the final figure with some screens yet to report. The previous premieres record held by Aagadu is not half at least. Baahubali also becomes the first Telugu film to collect One million dollar gross with Premieres alone.
Trade is expecting stunning figures from Friday as well. It is estimated that whopping $750k plus will be reported from Friday collections. If that happens Baahubali will reach 2 million mark on Friday itself, which makes us look forward to 3 million by first weekend itself. The US rights of the movie was bagged by Bluesky for 9 Crore. Situation is not any different back home with the movie likely to better all the previous records by a huge margin.
