Natural Star Nani is having the final laugh as his latest release, MCA is defying all the odds at box office, and putting up a rock solid show. After taking a spectacular opening on Day 1 and holding its ground well on Day 2, MCA had a remarkable hold on Day 3, Saturday too.
By collecting a share of Rs 3.13 Cr on Saturday, MCA took its 3 days total to Rs 14.16 Cr share with a gross of over 21 Cr across the Telugu states. Astonishingly, MCA is doing all this magic at box office despite unfavorable talk and competition from Akhil Akkineni’s “Hello”, which received relatively better talk.
Break-up of distributor share:
Nizam – 5,96,00,000
Ceded – 2,30,00,000
Nellore – 37,00,000
Guntur – 1,02,52,893

Total 3 days Worldwide Share – 18 Cr (Gross – 27.5 Cr)
And, the consistent run continues in US too as the Sai Pallavi and Bhumika starrer grossed around $620K by Saturday.
Considering that today (Sunday) and tomorrow (Christmas) are two big and crucial holidays, trade expects MCA to collect 20 Cr share from the Telugu states by Monday.
