Across the United States, the film’s premiere has generated $2.4 million in revenue from 466 locations. However, the Canadian release faced a setback. York Cinemas canceled OG screenings. The decision was attributed to safety concerns and alleged unethical conduct linked to individuals associated with the film’s distributor, Prathyangira Cinemas. The cancellation is estimated to have resulted in a potential revenue loss of $140,000 to $160,000.
Despite the hiccup in Canada, OG continues to build momentum globally. This signals a strong opening for one of Telugu cinema’s most anticipated releases.
