"Devara" made massive money on premiere shows in the United States, surprising many. But the film could not sustain that massive number on Friday. Thus, the NTR starrer ended up being the fifth highest-grossing Telugu film in North America on Day 1.
The film grossed $3,770,268 ($3.77M) on day one, inclusive of $2.8 million from premiere shows.
Overall, "Devara" grossed a huge collection on the first day, though it would have collected more on Friday if word-of-mouth and reviews had been a little bit more positive than now.

2. RRR: $5.50M
3. Baahubali 2: $4.59M
4. Salaar: $3.82M
5. Devara - $3.77M
