After taking a dubious start at the box office on Day 1, Mahesh Babu’s SPYder reportedly took a nosedive on day 3, giving shivers to all buyers, even of US.
As per trade reports, SPYder witnessed drops and collected a meager Rs 2.5 Cr share on its third day, and took its 3 days total to 22.5 Cr, which is extremely low considering the investment of buyers. The film was expected to collect more than this amount on opening day itself.
Area-wise 3-days share:
Nizam – 5,93,00,000
Ceded – 3,10,00,000
Nellore – 1,35,00,000
Guntur – 2,65,00,000
Krishna – 1,60,00,000
West – 2,30,00,000
East – 2,97,00,000
Uttharandhra – 2,55,00,000
Total 3 days AP & TS Share – 22.45 Cr (Gross – 34 Cr)
Total 3 days Worldwide Share – 39 Cr (Gross – 64 Cr) (including Tamil & Malayalam versions)
In the US, SPYder took its total to $1.27 million by the end of Friday. The break even mark is a huge $4.5 million. The film has fared relatively decent in Tamil Nadu, grossing 10 Cr in 3 days.
Considering that the worldwide theatrical values of all versions were valued at a staggering 120 Cr, and the film managed to recover 32% so far, trade predicts the film to end up in losses, if the collections don’t improve. Spyder failed to draw crowds even during holidays.
