Hanuman Clear Lead and BIG WINNER of SANKRANTI 2024
Three of the four sankranti releases have already been released, and their overall box office success will be revealed in a few days after the holidays. However, the modest film Hanuman is on its way to becoming a phenomenon in the United States. Despite having roughly half of guntur Kaaram settings, Hanuman has already outperformed mahesh babu - Trivikram's film. Around 11 p.m. EST on Friday, guntur Kaaram made $373,693, while Hanuman grossed $492,480.
The per-location average lead by Hanuman also indicates a significant demand for the film, prompting the distributor Nirvana Cinemas to add more shows to meet this demand.
Hanuman’s per-location average at 11 PM EST: $1,237
Guntur Kaaram’s per-location average at 11 PM EST: $850
Hanuman's hourly bookings are somewhat higher than Guntur's, which was not expected when these two films were announced to compete at the box office during Sankranthi season. guntur Kaaram is the only superstar-driven film during Sankranthi, and it is expected to have a strong day one at the telugu box office. However, Hanuman's rise in Book My Show hourly trends is a good indicator for the mid-range picture, which competes with GK, Saindhav, and Naa Saami Ranga.
