Marking twenty years of Chennakesava Reddy, Nandamuri Balakrishna fans across the globe planned re-release of the film. Even the film producer Bellamkonda Suresh had a media interaction and revealed that the film will have special shows in record number of screens.
As per the reports, CKR had special shows across the US in 82 screens and collected a revenue of $39,054 with 3119 tickets sold collectively and created all-time record. At the Australian box office also CKR created a new records in terms of re-release special shows and generated good revenues.
But the scenario is not the same in domestic market. Reports suggest that the film’s special shows booking in twin Telugu states is not up to the mark. While Nizam area is witnessing 25% occupancy, the craze for CKR re-release in Andhra and Rayalaseema regions is not that great as expected.
