Mahesh Babu starrer "Srimanthudu" has continued to perform well even during its third weekend. By the end of 17 days, the latest Telugu movie has beaten the lifetime record of Pawan Kalyan's "Attarintiki Daaredi".
As per Andhra Box Office, "Srimanthudu" has beaten the lifetime record of "Attarintiki Daaredi" and has become the biggest non-'Baahubali' entertainer at Telugu worldwide box office.
The global net share of "Srimanthudu" now stands at Rs 118.7 crore (Distributor shares: Rs 75.97 Crore) by the end of its third weekend (17 days).
"Srimanthudu" has collected Rs 36.55 crore in Andhra Pradesh, it has made Rs 11.05 crore and Rs 29.75 crore from Ceeded and Nizam regions respectively. The total gross business made by the Telugu movie from the three regions stand at Rs 77.35 crore with a net profit of Rs 70.65 crore.
The movie has raked in Rs 11.25 crore (Rs 9.35 crore net) in Karnataka, it has made Rs 2.20 crore (Rs 1.85 crore net) in Tamil Nadu and Rs 3.25 crore (Rs 2.4 crore net) from other parts of India. The total business made by "Srimanthudu" in India stands at Rs 94.05 crore with the net income of Rs 83.95 crore.
Adding to that the Tamil version of "Srimanthudu" has earned Rs 2.4 crore from Tamil Nadu and Kerala territories. The remaining business made by the movie is from international circuits.
The trade reports say that after having a decent week, the turn out for Mahesh Babu's flick was good during the weekend. Saturday and Sunday shows received good response from the audience in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and some centres overseas.
However, "Srimanthudu" has performed well despite "Kick 2" starring Ravi Teja hitting the screens. The Telugu film is written and directed by Koratala Siva. Shruti Haasan plays the female lead in the flick, which also features Jagapathi Babu and Sukanya.
The Mahesh Babu starrer has been facing competition from non-Telugu films too since the last few weeks. Bollywood films "Brothers" and "Drishyam", Tamil film "Vaalu" and Kannada movie "Uppi 2" have clashed with "Srimanthudu" in different territories and performed well.
"Srimanthudu" has also earned good profits for the producer through satellite, audio and dubbing rights. The makers have earned at least Rs. 21 crore by selling different rights including the Hindi and Tamil dubbed rights.
