The Paradise, as expected, has emerged as a failure at the North American box office (USA and Canada). Backed by Nani’s strong pull, the film took a flyer, but since reviews were negative, it couldn’t maintain the momentum and started fading in no time. As a result, in the opening week itself, the verdict is out and is a major disappointment. Keep reading for a detailed report!
Fumbled after a big start
As the most hyped Nani film ever, the Telugu action thriller had a blast in advance bookings, grossing $1.25 million for premiere shows and day 1. Backed by such pre-sales, it marked a flying start in the territory. Including premiere shows, the film posted a solid $1.63 million (15.67 crore) by the end of the first day. However, thereafter, it fumbled due to poor reviews.
How much did The Paradise earn at the North American box office in 8 days?
As per the latest collection update, The Paradise grossed just $5K on its second Thursday, day 8. Overall, it has earned $2.11 million at the North American box office in the extended first week. It equals 20.29 crore in Indian rupees. With collections dropping as low as $5K for a day within a week, the film clearly faced rejection from audiences.

Breakeven and recovery of the film
For those who don’t know, in North America, The Paradise must earn $3.25 million to achieve breakeven, which equals 31.25 crore. In 8 days, it has scored $2.11 million, thus recovering 64.92% of its breakeven target. Although the recovery looks good in the first week, the film has still emerged as a failure.
From here, it won’t see any turnaround and will continue to decline, eventually falling short of its target by a considerable margin. For Nani, who is considered one of the most bankable stars in the territory, the failure of The Paradise is a big blow, and hopefully, he’ll bounce back with his next film, Bloody Romeo, directed by Sujeeth.
