Director
SS
Rajamouli's
latest
Telugu
movie
Eega,
which
was
released
on
July
5
in
the
USA,
has
received
an
overwhelming
response
at
the
collection
centres
in
the
country.
The
film
has
even
beaten
the
Bollywood
film
Bol
Bachchan
there.
But
the
makers
of
the
film
do
not
seem
to
be
satisfied
with
it.
They
have
decided
to
increase
the
number
of
screens
in
the
country.
Eega
has
reportedly
been
released
on
31
screens,
while
its
Tamil
version
Naan
Ee
hit
8
screens
in
the
USA.
On
many
screens,
the
movie
has
only
one
show
a
day.
According
to
reports,
this
disappointed
the
producer
of
Eega,
who
wanted
to
release
it
on
more
number
of
screens,
but
could
not
do
so
due
to
unavailability
of
cinema
halls.
Reports
suggest
that
Eega
was
not
released
in
a
few
potential
stations
like
Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh,
Miami,
Kansas
City,
Denver,
etc.,
on
Tuesday,
10
July.
It
was
due
to
The
Amazing
Spider
Man
and
The
Avengers,
which
have
occupied
most
of
the
screens
as
it
was
a
long
weekend
(US
Independence
Day).
Moreover,
Eega
has
only
one
show
a
day
in
places
like
Detroit,
where
a
big
Telugu
cinema
will
have
at
least
3
shows
a
day.
Eega
has
collected
Rs
3.64
crores
at
the
USA
Box
Office
in
the
first
weekend.
The
per
screen
average
collection
of
Eega
is
not
only
higher
than
any
other
big
Telugu,
Tamil
and
Bollywood
film,
but
also
other
Hollywood
films.
Reports
reveal
that
Eega's
screen
average
(17,000)
is
much
higher
than
that
of
The
Amazing
Spider
Man,
Dabangg
(12,664)
and
Dookudu
(12,444)
in
the
first
weekend.
However,
Eega
producers
have
now
planned
to
release
it
in
20
more
centers
in
USA
on
13
July.
Another
good
news
is
that
they
will
also
increase
the
number
of
shows
in
several
business
centers
like
Detroit.
It
is
expected
to
continue
its
rocking
collection
in
the
USA.
But
this
Friday,
another
big
Bollywood
film
Coctail
is
hitting
the
screens.
Now,
it
should
be
seen
whether
Eega
will
beat
this
film
also
at
the
USA
Box
Office.
