Top 10 Telugu premieres in North America: Where does Jr NTR’s Devara stand?
NTR’s much-awaited movie Devara is gearing up for its U.S. premiere tomorrow. This pan-India film is riding a huge wave of anticipation, especially after the massive success of his previous blockbuster RRR, which gained a significant following among American audiences. With the U.S. premieres on the horizon, Devara has already witnessed exceptional pre-sales, making it one of NTR’s biggest openings in the North American market. The pre-release buzz is comparable to recent films by other big Telugu stars, such as Prabhas.
Reports indicate that Devara is expected to secure a spot among the top Telugu premieres in North America. As of today, it has earned around $2.4 million in pre-sales, with one more day to go before the actual release. This number positions Devara in fifth place, just behind massive hits like RRR and Baahubali 2. However, analysts predict that by the end of the premiere day, Devara will likely surpass some of these films and secure a place in the top three.
Here is a look at the top Telugu premieres in North America so far:
1. Kalki 2898 AD – $3.9M
2. RRR – $3.46M
3. Salaar – $2.6M
4. Baahubali 2 – $2.45M
5. Devara – $2.4M (1 day before release)
6. Agnyathavaasi – $1.52M
7. Guntur Kaaram – $1.42M
8. Baahubali – $1.37M
9. Khaidi No. 150 – $1.29M
10. SPYder – $1M
As NTR is actively promoting the film in the U.S., including attending a special screening at Beyond Fest in Los Angeles, fans are excited to see where Devara will ultimately rank on this prestigious list. The film is already drawing attention for its massive pre-release collections and could possibly challenge the top two positions.
With strong fan support in both India and North America, Devara is expected to have an exceptional run at the box office. By the end of the U.S. premiere day, all eyes will be on whether it can break past the $3 million mark, joining the ranks of some of the biggest hits in Telugu cinema history.
