US Holidays - Blessings for Movies

Long weekend in United States is proving to be an exceptional blessing for three Telugu movies released as Sankranti specials. Till date ‘Khaidi No 150’ and ‘Gauthami Puthra Satakarni’ started off on brisk note heading towards $2M and $1M clubs respectively. In between, Sharwanand’s ‘Shatamanam Bhavati’ enjoyed positive word of mouth publicity in US and can sustain long.

After the much juiced Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the long weekend with Monday being Martin Luther King Jr’s federal holiday in US, there won’t be stopping for rushes at ticket counters. Buyers are very happy because a single holiday can change overall trade calculations by big time.

In addition the coming Friday or next week can also be considered dry because till Jan 26th arrival of ‘Singham 3,’ there won’t be big oppositions to clash on. Let’s see, how good are our veteran super stars to cash on this advantage?
