Baahubali 2 to be released in 4000 screens in China; Here’s the release date!
SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus Baahubali: The Conclusion is gearing up for a huge release in China. After a lot pondering, the makers have finally locked the release date. The Prabhas – Rana starrer will be releasing on September 17 across 4000 screens in China.
Trade analyst Ramesh Bala confirmed the release date via his Twitter page. He also revealed that the star cast of the film will be soon flying to the China as part of promotions. The movie is also releasing in other foreign countries including Japan, Korea, and Taiwan.
Ramesh Bala tweeted,
“#Baahubali2 will release in #China in Sep’17 in 4,000 Screens.. BO Target: ¥300M ($44.1 Million).. Stars will go to #China for Promotions..”
In 2015, Baahubali: The Beginning was released in a whopping 6000 screens in the China. However, the movie could not live up to the hype as it failed to impress the Chinese audience. This is perhaps why the theatre count is lesser this year.
Meanwhile, Aamir Khan’s Dangal is continuing it’s stupendous run in China. The sports drama was released on May 5 in the country. Within a month from it’s release, Dangal created history by earning over Rs 1000 crores at the Chinese box office. It became the 33rd film in Chinese cinema history to cross one Billion RMB, which in Indian currency amounts to about Rs 1000 crore. It is currently the highest earning non- Hollywood film in the country.
As per latest reports, Dangal has around Rs 1200 crores in China. Apart from that, it has also earned around Rs 40 crores at the Taiwanese box office. Globally, the movie has earned around Rs 1980 crores and is expected to surpass the Rs 2000 crore mark by the end of this week.
With Dangal getting excellent response in the country, it will be tough for Baahubali 2 to do rich business at the Chinese markets.
