Ist schon richtig so. Ein Platz in den Top 10 wurde für den indischen Film auch vorhergesagt, da schon der erste Teil sehr gut lief. Die Fortsetzung übertrifft jetzt aber alle Erwartungen.
Zitat:
Generating the biggest opening weekend of all-time for an Indian film in North America, the effects-driven adventure sequel Baahubali 2 bowed in third place with an estimated $10.1M from 425 locations for a muscular $23,765 average. Released by Great India Films, the epic saga was the concluding chapter following the 2015 predecessor which was a box office sensation around the world. No Indian film has ever opened this high on the U.S. box office chart before. As an event film with impressive visuals and a built-in fan base, Ticket prices were extra high, often ranging between $25 to $30, though premium seating like IMAX featured some tickets that cost more than $42.
Higher pricing helped, but that does not take away from what a remarkable box office achievement this was. Overall, foreign-language films from any country almost never reach the $10M neighborhood on opening weekend.
