Press Release:
STALIN sets Foreign Shores (Screens) Afire
EDISON, New Jersey - Sept
21st 2006:
Unlike in the Indian Sub continent, in most foreign countries watching movies is largely confined to
weekends.
If the swelling crowds near 18 cinemas in as many cities of USA are anything to go by on Wednesday, 20th
September, one would conclude that the Megastar has perfected the art of bettering his best. Incidentally
Stalin’s first day net aggregate revenues exceeded 50 million INR all over.
In USA, a total of 6021 people have watched STALIN on day 1. The movie was screened in 15 locations on day 1.
Apart from these 15, the movie will be screened in 15 more locations by the end of the first week.
A total of 12200 online tickets are sold through secondshows.com, out of which 4000 were sold on the release
day - wednesday alone.
For the first time a Telugu film had a simultaneous premier in Sydney, when STALIN was screened at 10.30 pm
at the World Cinema theatre, to a packed crowd of 320. All the shows scheduled for 22nd to 25th in both Sydney
and China town cinemas- Melbourne are sold out.
