NTR Jr’s Devara beats Prabhas’ Salaar’s record for premiere day sales in USA

NTR Jr’s is all set to be back on the big screen as a solo lead after a gap of 6 years with Kortala Siva’s Devara: Part 1, which also features Telugu debut of Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor. The film was earlier supposed to be a stand alone film, but while shooting, the makers realized that it needs to be divided into two parts, they have roped in Bobby Deol to be the antagonist in the second part.

The film is just 4 days away from release, and NTR Jr was recently spotted at the airport leaving for the United States of America, where the film has received tremendous response. At present, the film has sold more than 61000 tickets, amassing US $ 1.80 million from over 650 locations.
With this, the film has beaten the record set by Prabhas’ Salaar-Part 1- Ceasefire to become the highest premiere day sale of 2023 with it collecting about US $ 1.50 million in USA. It would be interesting to see if Devara can beat the record set by Prabhas’ last film Kalki 2898 AD in the United States of America, where it had collected US $ 2 million.

Devara’s break even point for North America has been pegged at US $ 5.5 million, and the film has already recorded a total sale of US $ 2.5 million with still 4 more days to go for the release. It would be interesting to see how soon the film will cross the breakeven point and start earning profit.
