Akhanda 2, starring Nandamuri Balakrishna in the lead role, has started its journey at the North American box office (USA and Canada) on an underwhelming note. Being a sequel to a successful movie, the film was expected to score the record premiere-day collection in the territory for Balayya. In actuality, the biggie couldn’t even surpass the premiere collection made by Bhagavanth Kesari. Keep reading for a detailed report! In the post-COVID era, Balayya’s pull has increased significantly in the North American market, particularly in the USA. Since his last release, Daaku Maharaaj, scored $735K in the premiere shows, the Akhanda sequel was expected to become the first Balayya film to enjoy a premiere day of $1 million. Unfortunately, the disappointing promotional content and marketing negatively affected the buzz. Akhanda 2 had huge potential, but the underwhelming promotional material and limited time for pre-sales impacted it. It has been learned that the biggie earned $452K at the North American box office through premiere shows. In isolation, the number looks decent to good, but considering huge expectations, it’s underwhelming.
