The Paradise reaches diaspora; records can wait
Nani’s Telugu film is listed for screenings in the US, UK and Australia, while its distributor says overseas content was sent out on schedule.
The film’s overseas listings are in place; the figures remain unverified.
Nani and Srikanth Odela’s The Paradise is set to reach Telugu audiences in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia around its September 23 overseas premieres and September 24 worldwide release.
Cinemark and Harkins list the film in the US. Cineworld, along with venue listings for Odeon and Vue, shows UK screenings. HOYTS and Event Cinemas list the Telugu version in Australia. The diaspora, at least, has somewhere to sit down.
Prathyangira Cinemas said it had received the film’s second-half Telugu content and sent it to confirmed North American locations. It said electronic locations would receive the material within hours and that hard-disk shipments were being prioritised. The distributor has not publicly disclosed the number of locations or screens in the material reviewed. Sales, revenue and the often-repeated North American figures remain unverified. The listings are real; the records are still waiting for someone to produce them.
