It has not only joined the top ten list of all-time highest grossers in North America, but has also risen to fifth place, trailing only Baahubali 2 and other films! – HanuMan Box Office.
Prasanth Varma’s next epic action film is causing havoc at ticket counters all around the world. HanuMan’s box office will soon serve as a case study for filmmakers all around the world looking to learn how to attain such visual magnificence on a mid-budget film.
It’s not only the budget; it’s what the filmmakers did with it to produce such a big film at an almost unattainable cost. The audience has embraced the vision with open arms, and not just on an average level; the Teja Sajja film has accomplished something rather amazing.
It is the first non-Prabhas and non-SS Rajamouli Tollywood film to outperform Allu Arjun’s Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo and a number of other films in North America. It has not only joined the top ten list of all-time highest Tollywood grossers in NA, but it has also risen to fifth place, trailing only Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, RRR, Salaar, and Baahubali: The Beginning.
The top-grossing Tollywood films in North America to date are listed below:
- Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion: $20.76 million
- RRR: $14.83 million
- Salaar: $8.90 million
- Baahubali – The Beginning: $8.47 million
- Hanuman: $3.65 million (still running)
- Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo: $3.63 million
- Rangasthalam: $3.51 million
- Bharat Ane Nenu: $3.42 million
- Saaho: $3.23 million
- Adipurush: $3.17 million
The data above make for intriguing analysis because they show how, despite having a very little budget, it has outperformed movies like Adipurush & Saaho, which cost more than ten times as much. With its current rate of growth, HanuMan has a good chance of becoming the next box office record as it approaches the $5 million mark.
In his HanuMan movie review, our in-house reviewer Umesh Punwani praised the director’s astounding vision and said, “Prasanth Varma, take a bow! It’s not just about getting things done on a tight budget—it’s also about battling your way up in a field where the super/mega/rebel/action “stars” rule. While the US is experiencing a severe case of superhero fatigue, Prasanth may have only recently embarked on the Indian superhero film industry’s Spider-Man moment.
