Game Changer faces over 2 million dollar loss in North America after disappointing box office performance
The Telugu film Game Changer, starring Ram Charan, has underperformed at the box office, earning Rs 117 crore in India and USD 1.98 million in North America. Its break-even target was USD 4.5 million, leading to expected losses over USD 2 million for distributors. This follows the success of Pushpa 2, which grossed over USD 15 million in North America. Game Changer's disappointing results have raised concerns about the sustainability of high acquisition costs for Telugu films in overseas markets. Despite Telugu being widely spoken in the U.S., rising production and acquisition costs pose challenges. The film's performance may prompt filmmakers and distributors to rethink their strategies in a competitive industry.
