The Tollywood action thriller witnessed its full-fledged theatrical release on September 25, with premiere shows scheduled on September 24.

It was one of the most hyped films of Pawan Kalyan.
Closing overseas box office collection of OG
OG witnessed a mind-blowing start in North America but due to mixed word-of-mouth, it failed to maintain the momentum for a long time. Still, it ended up scoring $5.59 million (49.13 crores) in the territory. The second biggest contributor was UK-Ireland with $503K (4.42 crores). Including all other centres, the film ended its run by earning 65.25 crore gross at the overseas box office.
With 65.25 crores, OG is Pawan Kalyan’s highest-grossing film at the overseas box office by a big margin.
OG makes hefty profits
Reportedly, the overseas breakeven target for the Pawan Kalyan starrer was 18 crores. Against this breakeven value, it has earned 65.25 crores, thus making a profit of 47.25 crores. If calculated, the film enjoyed 262.5% more earnings than the breakeven target.
