Kannappa registers career best openings for Manchu Vishnu
If we see it as a solo film of Vishnu, then we can say it got a sensational opening. However, if we look at the movie’s budget and star cast, like Prabhas, Mohanlal, and Akshay Kumar, it is a moderate start.
Overall, it definitely performed better than trade expectations. Especially in Telugu states, the film sees very good occupancies. The film does not start well overseas.
Even in other languages, also, it is off to a low start. Overall, the film sees a double-digit gross start, and the early estimates are around 13 Cr gross worldwide.
The film needs to witness a big jump over on day 2 and day 3, and at least a 50 Cr gross weekend is needed.
But the advances for the weekend are average as of now, and the film needs massive walk-ins.
![However, the film has just collected around 18 Cr gross in the 1st week, and the 2nd weekend also does not look promising in Tamil Nadu. Sekhar Kammula's Kuberaa becomes a loss venture in Tamil Nadu, and it is likely to close under 25 Cr. With this, the distributor will face a loss of around 40%. The film trends lower than Vaathi [Sir Movie]; it has collected more than 35 Cr gross in Tamil Nadu. Despite having Dhanush as the lead, the Tamil audiences did not turn up to the theaters for Kuberaa.](https://tracktollywood.com/wp-content/smush-webp/2025/06/qh2t3si9-265x198.png.webp "Kuberaa Becomes a Loss Venture in Tamil Nadu")
