grim22 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 #ChennaiExpress *opening weekend total* in Overseas territory stands at approx. $ 8.25 million [Rs 50.47 cr], which is massive. These are some never before seen numbers for a Bollywood movie. Surprising how massive this has been. Quote
Jonwo Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 I thought My Name is Khan did bigger numbers or was that only in India? Quote
grim22 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 I thought My Name is Khan did bigger numbers or was that only in India? MNIK did bigger overall numbers. This is just the opening, this has pretty much broken every hindi movie OS opening record. Quote
Dilusha Bandara Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 So will this be the highest OS grosser in 2013? Or could Krrish3 or D3 exceed these numbers? Quote
grim22 Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 So will this be the highest OS grosser in 2013? Or could Krrish3 or D3 exceed these numbers? Very, very small chance. SRK rules overseas, for reference - here are the top US openings for Hindi movies, the top 5 are all SRK movies. 1. Chennai Express - $2,220,497 2. My Name Is Khan - $1,944,027 3. Om Shanti Om - $1,764,131 4. Don 2 -$1,673,921 5. Ra.One - $1,654,023 6. 3 Idiots - $1,645,502 7. Talaash - $1,638,706 8. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani - $1,568,677 9. Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna - $1,351,786 10. Jodhaa Akbar - $1,300,000 Quote
Jonwo Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Surprised 3 Idiots didn't crack the top 5, I thought that film was a huge hit. Quote
Tower Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Surprised 3 Idiots didn't crack the top 5, I thought that film was a huge hit. It made more than any of the 5 above it in total it was just much more backloaded. Quote
grim22 Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Surprised 3 Idiots didn't crack the top 5, I thought that film was a huge hit. 3 Idiots had legs. But it is not the highest grossing in the US. It is the highest grossing overseas thanks to a China release. Quote
Dilusha Bandara Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 I think D3 will exceed the OS total of CE. Quote
