“Baahubali 2: The Conclusion” has created a storm on the Indian box office; however, it is something which was already expected considering the success achieved by the first part of the series. But this time, SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus has made a good start in the overseas market as well.
Prabhas and Rana starrer has topped the Thursday night previews in the USA and it’s the first ever Indian movie to achieve this feat. As per a leading trade website, Box Office Mojo, Baahubali has earned $2.5 million (Rs. 16.02 crores) and it has been released in 330 locations and at 425 screens.
The response it got for the paid previews on Thursday was splendid and it secured the topmost position in the list by surpassing the other Hollywood movies – Fast & Furious 8 ($1.9 million), Beauty & The Beast ($661K) and Boss Baby ($526K).
Box Office Mojo has predicted that the business of the flick will grow in the weekend and it will earn around $9.5 million (Rs. 61.06 crores). The leading trade portal also talked about the impact of “Baahubali 2: The Conclusion” on the other films.
There was hype for the second part, as the first part was not only appreciated a lot but also broke many box office records. Of course, everybody wanted to know the answer of the question “Why Kattapa Killed Baahubali” and this is the chance to find it out. As per sources, many theatres are completely booked till Monday.
According to the box office reports, the movie has made a grand opening of Rs. 115 crores and it has already created a record. Rs. 41.50 crore has been earned only from the Hindi version of the film, which is definitely a whopping amount taking into consideration the fact that Baahubali 2 is merely dubbed in Hindi.
