Detailed worldwide box office collections of Chennai Express.
India: Opened to packed houses at multiplexes, single-screens were dull which is understandable as not many were aware of the films pre-release. Overall 75-80% opening across India. Rs 6.25 crore (RECORD for paid previews)
Singapore: Earth-shattering response for Chennai Express in Singapore, by far the best opening for any Bollywood release in the country. The film collected 132,000 SGD (Rs 63.5 lakhs).
Chennai Express Worldwide
UAE: Recorded the highest ever single-day collections in history. When the final collections come in, Chennai Express could be the first film to cross Rs 3 crore mark in UAE-GCC. From the figures that we have received so far, the film has collected 1,745,000 Dihrams (Rs 2.85 crore)
United Kingdom: Fabulous opening, record-breaking for paid-previews. Chennai Express collected £142,220 (Rs 1.3 crore)
Australia: Good start, collected A$38300 (Rs 21 lakhs)
New Zealand: Decent opening, collected NZ$ 8000 (Rs 4 lakhs)
Pakistan: Will release today in the neighbouring country. Advance booking is excellent, should break all opening records.
