Nani and Srikanth Odela’s The Paradise has delivered a phenomenal opening at the USA box office, crossing the $100K mark in premiere bookings within just 4 hours—despite advances opening only through the Cinemark chain.
Record-Breaking Start for Tier-2 Film
The tracked gross currently stands at $92K+ with occupancy levels exceeding 10%. This sensational pace in just hours of bookings going live has exceeded all expectations.
So far, no Tier-2 star film has managed $1M+ premieres in North America. The Paradise USA premieres look set to break that barrier comfortably and could even push towards $1.5M, which would be remarkable for a Tier-2 star—even major star films like Peddi finished at $1.56M.
Can It Touch $2M?
Everyone is now curious to see whether The Paradise can reach the $2M range. With more theater chains yet to open bookings, the film is on course for a super sensational start at the box office.
The Paradise is set for a huge premiere opening among Telugu films in North America. Premieres are scheduled for September 23rd.
