Pawan Kalyan’s OG almost ended its run at the US box office. The film has collected more than 5.5 million in North America. The film’s revenue in Canada could have been much higher, but due to issues between the distributor and Canada’s main theatre chain, York Cinemas, the film was not released there, which impacted the numbers
York Cinemas claimed that box office manipulation was happening continuously, so they refused to screen the film. Meanwhile, the distributor countered, saying that York Cinemas is a mafia-like entity that always blackmails, so they won’t release any films there.
Immediately after the completion of OG’s run, the distributor announced that all issues have been sorted out and that the film will release in York Cinemas.
This upset fans, as OG’s numbers could have been much higher if it had a release in York Cinemas. Fans expressed their frustration, saying that these distributors twist their words at any time for business.
