Mahesh Babu is now enjoying the dream run of his films at box-office. He set all time records with Dookudu at overseas box-office and smashed all opening records in India for a Telugu film in the first week with Businessman. It is a fact that Businessman is a hit India. But why did the film fare so badly in USA and other overseas territories. When the film released in such massive manner in USA, why the film ended up losing nearly Rs 1.75 Crores?
Businessman in USA
The entire gross amount for the movie in USA till the last weekend is estimated at $831,895.00. Rent on an average is at 30% and tax is 6%. Rent varies in some centers, but as a standard it is taken as 30% for calculation.
So, deducting 36% out of $831,895.00 makes it $532,412.8 (share) which in Indian Rupees is 2.65 Crores (share) in U.S. According to our sources, the closing share will be around Rs 3 Crores in U.S.A. Some exhibitors in big centers would be losing money since it was bought for huge amounts.
Other than USA
Outside U.S.A, the movie is sold for 75 lakhs prior to the release. According to our sources, the film is might end up with the gross of Rs 70 Lakhs and a share of Rs 50+ Lakhs.
Businessman Final report in overseas
So, final closing share of Businessman in entire overseas market including US would be at R 3.5 Crs. The film is bought for Overseas is for Rs 4.6 Crs and with the inclusion of cost for prints (including digital), the final cost is Rs 5.2 Crores.
So, the the losses would be around 1.70 Crs
(Rs 5.20 Crores - Rs 3.5 Crores = Rs 1.70 Crores)
