PK Crosses 115 Cr In China And 700 Cr Worldwide
In December 2014, the audiences were enthralled with the release of the Aamir Khan - Anushka Sharma starrer PK that did roaring business at the box office window. Well the film that went on to become the highest grossing movie in India recently released across the border in China.
In this Box Office report, we take a look at the collections of PK in China. Interestingly, much like the Indian box office, the film has opened on a high note collecting $ 899,000 on Opening day. In fact PK that released across 4600 screens in China has collected a total of $ 3.43 million (Rs. 21.77 cr) in just two days followed by $ 5.4 million of its release over weekend and $ 7.87 million in week one. This is higher than PK's two day collections in North America, United Kingdom and Middle East each. Film has collected 114.91 cr ($ 17.95 million) in China in 3 weeks and it is set to cross 120 cr there which will be tough record to break.
With this, PK's cumulative overseas gross is $ 43.31 million (290.09 cr). The film has also become the highest grossing Hindi film in China in just three days. The earlier grossers were Dhoom 3 at $3.2 million, 3 idiots at $2 million and the surprise being Delhi Safari at $1.55 million. Delhi Safari was an animation film released in 2012 in India which went totally unnoticed grossing around 2 crore nett in India.
The Worldwide gross of PK stands at 720 crore now and the way it is going in the Chinese market 725 crore mark is not far away. A $18 million gross in China will mean 725 crore Worldwide. 'Dhoom 3' the previous record holder grossed around 535 crore Worldwide and this has beaten that record with big margin. Historic blockbuster!
