HAPPY NEW YEAR Is Highest Grossing Film In Germany Ever By Some Distance, Beats DHOOM 3 And MNIK Record In Week One Itself
Shahrukh Khan always establishes new milesotne in overseas market with his new releases and this time ''Happy New Year'' is no different. Film is now 5th highest grosser in overseas ever and highest grosser for 2014. Film has done phenomenal business in UK, a market which is stagnant for Bollywood films for quite some time.
But it has done something unthinkable in Germany, a market where Bollywood has no presence whatsoever. To put things in right perspective, MNIK did 500,000 $ lifetime business 4 years back and that still a record. ''Dhoom 3'' did highest weekend of 98,000 $ beating 94,000 $ of MNIK. But here is SRK''s new release ''Happy New Year''.
HNY did 94,000 $ on opening day and 325,000 $ over weekend which is simply mind blowing. Film was among top 7 in Germany box office chart in week one and as per the last reports, film had crossed 510,000 $ barrier in 2nd week. Film has become highest grosser ever that too with some margin.
This is a huge achievement as films like this opens new market for Bollywood films which stars of later generations can reap.
