The North American box office witnessed a dull Saturday with all major new Telugu and Tamil releases posting disappointing numbers, raising concerns about their post-weekend run.
Mithra Mandali continued its poor trend with a Day 3 gross of just $4,000, taking its total collection to $56.5K. With negative reviews and weak audience traction, the film’s prospects of recovery appear bleak.
Dude performed better comparatively but still couldn’t post a strong Saturday surge. It earned $151K on Day 2, taking the total to $482K. Out of this, Tamil contributed $282K, while Telugu added $200K. Despite a stronger opening, the pace suggests it will need solid weekday collections to stay in the race.
Telusu Kada , which had a moderate opening, collected $84K on Day 2, taking its total to $270K.
