KatamaRayudu had a decent first week at the Worldwide Boxoffice, but needs a big number in 2nd week to have any chance of Break Even(BE).
The Pawan Kalyan starrer showed a good trend on Saturday and Sunday after record-breaking opening on Friday, but the poor Word of Mouth(WOM) started to show its effect as the collections started dropping from Monday.
The movie was sold for around 85cr WW and with the weekday drops it now has no chance of Break Even(BE) at the Boxoffice and the best scenario from here would be a Below Average verdict.
KatamaRayudu 1st Week Total WW Boxoffice Collections:
| AREA | SHARE(1 week) |
| Vizag | 5.6 |
| East | 4.97 |
| West | 3.93 |
| Krishna | 3.29 |
| Guntur | 4.52 |
| Nellore | 1.9 |
| Ceeded | 7.16 |
| Nizam | 13 |
| Total AP/TG | 44.37 |
| Karnataka | 5 |
| ROI | 0.8 |
| USA | 3.2 |
| ROW | 1 |
| Worldwide(WW) | 54.37 |
*1st Week Worldwide – 54.37 cr
*Average 1st week
*Needs 85 cr to BE
It is looking likely that the movie will end up at around 65cr giving it a FLOP verdict at the BO. With Guru also releasing Katamarayudu will find it hard to post decent numbers in its 2nd week, but it remains to be seen how far this Kishore Kumar directorial will collect.
KatamaRayudu stars Pawan Kalyan and Shruti Haasan in lead roles and is directed by Kishore Kumar on North Star Entertainment banner.
