Vishnu Manchu’s Kannappa, starring Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal, and Prabhas in very promising cameos, has kickstarted its advance booking in India and the US, but the mythological action drama has yet not picked up pace despite only 48 hours left for the film to arrive in the theaters!
Will Vishnu Manchu Beat Dhanush?
It would be interesting to see if Vishnu Manchu’s film beat the last big Telugu arrival in the theaters – Kuberaa. Dhanush‘s film also starring Nagarjuna, had a lukewarm start at the US box office with the advance premiere sales!
Kannappa US Box Office Pre-Sales
Kannappa registered advance sales of $10,3K for 263 locations in the USA, with only 486 sold tickets. With 2 days remaining for the premiere in the USA, it seems impossible for the film to cross Kuberaa’s pre-sales in the territory!
Dhanush’s Kuberaa registered advance pre-sales of $193.25Kat the box office for the premiere day. Akshay Kumar’s film has registered only 5.3% of the total ticket sales registered by Dhanush’s film.
Kannappa India BMS Sales
The film has sold almost 4.2K tickets in India from 1 PM to 5 PM. The pace is slow, and it all depends on how the film picks up tomorrow. In all probability, things do not seem very bright for the film currently!
