STALIN sets Foreign Shores (Screens) Afire


Unlike in the Indian Sub continent, in most foreign countries watching movies is largely confined to weekends.

If the swelling crowds near 18 cinemas in as many cities of USA are anything to go by on Wednesday, 20th September, one would conclude that the Megastar has perfected the art of bettering his best. Incidentally Stalin's first day net aggregate revenues exceeded 50 million INR all over.

In USA, a total of 6021 people have watched STALIN on day 1. The movie was screened in 15 locations on day 1. Apart from these 15, the movie will be screened in 15 more locations by the end of the first week.

A total of 12200 online tickets are sold through secondshows.com, out of which 4000 were sold on the release day - Wednesday alone.

For the first time a Telugu film had a simultaneous premier in Sydney, when STALIN was screened at 10.30 pm at the World Cinema theatre, to a packed crowd of 320. All the shows scheduled for 22nd to 25th in both Sydney and China town cinemas- Melbourne are sold out.

In the Middle East, STALIN premiered in Kuwait on 20th to an astounding crowd of 1500. Shows are scheduled in Dubai, Sharjah, Ras-al-Khiemah, Masqat and Kuwait from 21st onwards.
