Priyanka Chopra- Dwayne Johnson- Zac Effron starrer Baywatch has not managed to impress viewers in the United States of America. The movie that was religiously promoted by the team raked in around $6-$7 million (Rs 41 crore), suggested media reports. The movie’s collections are definitely disappointing given the kind of buzz it has created. The collections of Baywatch on the first day stand nowhere in comparison to the other big Hollywood release- Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Johnny Depp’s movie earned $24-$26 million (approximately Rs 160 crore). Now, Baywatch may not have been able to perform as expected but it has managed to defeat Baahubali 2.
The SS Rajamouli movie Baahubali: The Conclusion, earned $4.6 million (Rs 30 crore approximately) on the first day of its release in the USA. The numbers that Baahubali 2 got in the country was commendable and left everyone amazed. With such a performance at the Box Office, Baahubali 2 left a mark on the International market. While whatever is written about the success of Baahubali 2 seems less, expectations were definitely high from Priyanka Chopra’s Baywatch.

PeeCee’s big Hollywood debut had her in the role of Victoria Leeds, the antagonist. After the critics watched the movie, they did not great things to say about it. They slammed the movie for the way it was executed but liked Priyanka’s part. Baywatch that was Priyanka’s debut in Hollywood was expected to add to her stardom. The Desi Girl has already become a known face in the West with people finding it difficult to stop gushing over her.

However, all the stardom that PeeCee has did not translate to Box Office numbers. It is now left to be seen how the movie performs in India when it releases the coming Friday. If Baywatch doesn’t live up to the expectations that Priyanka’s fans would be disheartened.
