Despite Unfavorable Date Athadu 4K Enters Top Five Re Releases

Mahesh Babu's iconic film Athadu has made a grand return to theaters in its 4K version, coinciding with the actor's 50th birthday celebrations. Despite facing stiff competition from new releases and an unfavourable release period, Athadu 4K has managed to rake in impressive numbers at the box office.

The film has opened with a worldwide gross of ₹4.5 crore, making it the fifth-biggest opener in re-releases. What's remarkable is that four out of the top five re-release day one grossers worldwide are Mahesh Babu films, showcasing his unparalleled dominance in the re-release market.

Athadu 4K's advance bookings have been phenomenal, with the film collecting ₹3.25 crore before its official release. This impressive figure includes sales from paid premieres held on Friday, a day prior to the main release. The film's overseas performance has also been noteworthy, with over $46,000 in pre-sales from just 238 shows in the USA.

This achievement is a testament to Mahesh Babu's enduring popularity and the timeless appeal of his films. With Athadu's re-release, Mahesh Babu is rewriting records and cementing his status as a global superstar.
