The Paradise finds $100,000 before paradise opens
Trade reports say Nani’s film crossed $100,000 in North American advance sales through Cinemark. The cinema chain has not published the receipt.
The reported advance-sales figure has not been publicly matched by a receipt.
Trade reports say Nani-starrer The Paradise crossed $100,000 in North American advance sales through Cinemark within four hours of bookings opening. The film is directed by Srikanth Odela and is scheduled for North American premieres on September 23, ahead of its wider September 24 release. Cinemark lists the film for September 24 but publishes no sales total. (Cinemark; Telugu360)
Sacnilk reported that the claimed figure came from Cinemark alone and called it the fastest such milestone for a Telugu film. Filmfare separately reported $80,790 from 64 locations and 210 shows before citing a total above $100,000. Neither report provides a public sales dashboard or identifies the data behind the comparison. (Sacnilk; Filmfare)
Cinemark, Prathyangira Cinemas, SLV Cinemas and the producers have not publicly confirmed the amount in the material reviewed. So this is reported advance sales, not a collection, a hit verdict or a historical record. The film has secured a headline; the receipt is still waiting for its own premiere.
