US box office collection: 'Pelli Chupulu' fares better than 'Babu Bangaram,' 'Bichagadu,' 'Srirastu Subhamastu'

"Pelli Chupulu" has kept the cash registers ringing at the U.S. box office in its fifth week. It has made a better collection than "Babu Bangaram," "Bichagadu" and "Srirastu Subhamastu."

"Pelli Chupulu" collected $1,110,361 at the U.S. box office in four weeks. The new Hindi film "A Flying Jatt" forced it out from some screens in its fifth week. When compared to its fourth weekend collection, the film showed over 35-percent decline in its fifth weekend.

The Vijay Deverakonda and Ritu Varma-starrer witnessed a steep fall on its fifth Friday, but it showed very good jump in the next two days. "Pelli Chupulu" has collected $49,768 from 30 screens at the U.S. box office in its fifth weekend, taking its 31-day total to $1,160,129. Taran Adarsh ‏tweeted: "Telugu film #Pellichoopulu - USA - Week 5: Fri $ 9,426, Sat $ 25,522, Sun $ 14,820. Total: $ 1,160,129 [₹ 7.79 cr]. AWESOME! @Rentrak."

"Bichagadu," which is the dubbed version of Tamil film, "Pichaikkaran," was released in India a few weeks ago and the movie has been a superhit at the domestic box office. The makers released the film in U.S. this weekend, but it has failed to fare well. The Vijay Antony-starrer has collected $3,137 (Rs 2.11 lakh) from 11 screens at the U.S. box office in its opening weekend.

The Venkatesh and Nayanthara starrer has hit rock bottom and once again failed to cross half-million dollar mark in the country. "Babu Bangaram has collected $1,512 from 5 screens at the U.S. box office in its third weekend, taking its 17-day total collection to $488,349 (Rs 3.28 crore). As per its current pace of collection, the film will not be able to surpass half-million dollar mark in its life time.

The collection of the Allu Sirish and Lavanya Tripathi starrer has also gone down considerably in its fourth week. "Srirastu Subhamastu" has collected $1,300 from 9 screens at the U.S. box office in its fourth weekend and its 24-day U.S. total collection stands at $54,957 (Rs 36.91 lakh). Despite releasing in a large of screens, its performance has been average in the country.
