U.S. Premieres Record: Can OG Come Close?

The United States box office has emerged as a true resource of revenue for the Telugu film industry. In this context, we have an upcoming film, which looks extremely well poised to enter the list of highest premier grossing Telugu films in the United States.

The film in discussion here is obviously OG, which has deputy CM Pawan Kalyan in the lead role. This film is preparing for its release on September 25, and here is a look at the kind of projections that the film is expected to make at the United States box office.

When it comes to advance shows count, it is RRR which is ahead. In terms of final advance show counts for Telugu films in the USA, RRR is leading at 5,408 shows, reflecting its massive global appeal fueled by a $58 million opening weekend in 2022.

Kalki 2898 AD with 3,806 shows outperformed expectations despite fewer screenings, possibly due to its unique blend of sci-fi and Hindu mythology.

And now, considering the kind of hype and anticipation that is riding on OG, it has to be seen where the film would rank in terms of Premier numbers and advance shows count.

The US distributor of the film has already started to open the advance bookings at large, nearly 4 weeks before the release. This guarantee is a huge release for the film in the United States, and we can expect a pretty significant number from the premier sales as well.

This is surely going to be the highest premier tally for Pawan Kalyan film till date, and the only discussion is about what would be the margin of the difference.
