With 'Jai Lava Kusa' releasing in about 500 screens in the US, the expectations with respect to its openings are sky-high.

There is an estimation that the NTR-starrer will collect USD 750,000-800,000 with just the premieres. If it does, it will have broken the extant NTR record of USD 584,255 by a very good margin.

From just 70 locations (total 190) in the US, as of 7 p.m. EST on Tuesday, 'JLK' has already collected USD 240,000 by way of the pre-Premieres sales.

If everything goes well in terms of FDFS talk and critical reviews, the Bobby-directed emotional drama could go on to smash the USD 2 million mark at the fastest-ever rate in Young Tiger's career.

Meanwhile in Hyderabad, thanks to the holiday season beginning in Telangana, the film is expected to put up a gigantic show across 100 theatres in which it's being released by Dil Raju. Early morning benefit shows are in order.
