Top 10 Opening Weekend of Hindi films in USA / Canada

KICK has opened poorly in the United States Of America, where the impact of Ramadan could probably be lesser than India. The film has collected approx $1.02 million in USA / Canada, which ranks at No 22 in the all time list.

For Salman Khan film in USA / Canada, the collections of Kick is lower than Dabangg 2 and Ek Tha Tiger.

The list is once again dominated by the two biggest overseas Khans in Bollywood, Shahrukh and Aamir.

The fact that SRK’s 2007 release like Om Shanti Om still holds on the 4th spot speaks volumes of his incredible craze outside India. Aamir is catching up quickly and took over the top spot from SRK with Dhoom 3. The rest are lagging far behind.

Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna still holds the record for the best screen average ever, with each theatre earning $21,200. The Karan Johar directed film was release only on 60 odd screens in 2006 collecting 1.35 million in its first weekend. The second best screen average is another Karan Johar – SRK film, My Name Is Khan!

  • Dhoom 3 – $3.4 million (240 screens)
  • Chennai Express – $2.2 million (196 screens)
  • My Name Is Khan – $1.95 million ( 123 screens)
  • Om Shanti Om – 1.75 million (115 screens)
  • Don 2 – 1.67 million (159 screens)
  • Ra One – 1.65 million (189 screens)
  • 3 Idiots – 1.64 million (120 screens)
  • Talaash – 1.64 million (170 screens)
  • Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani – 1.57 million (160 screens)

  • Kick – $1.02 million approx (150 screens approx) – ranked No 22.

  • This poor opening is the result of the mediocre films that salman had done in the past.even in india if salman had starred in better quality blockbusters then it would hv surely crossed 100cr in the opening weekend.but the good mees is wom for kick is extremely positive so it should become a blockbuster in india and hit overseas

  • List clearly dominated by only global superstar SRK. Dhoom 3 was again everyones knows biggest Bollywood franchise. Opening is of starpower lifetime defends on wom like lunchbox. SRK the biggest global superstar. Pk is releasing on Christmas but won’t beat even dhoom 3 records which would be smashed by king SRK

  • Surprising to see Kicks collections like this low but then again bhais strong fanbase is in India so cant complain too much….

  • Except D3,CE,Don 2 All The Movies Are Drama Or Romantic Movies… That’s Why I Say… Action Doesn’t Work Oversea Market At All… Now, Ra One Works Coz, Srk Is The Biggest Star Of Oversea Market… D3 & Ce Both Movies Had A Little Bit Action… So, Any Good Drama Or Romantic Movie Works A Lot In Oversea… Example – YJHD & Ram-Leela… 2 States Also… Even “Holiday” Movie Works But Jai Ho Doesn’t…

  • Aamir biggest overseas khan. What are you drinking indicine… Except for 3 idiots( masterpiece of hirani) n Dhoom 3 which aamir film has cross Even 10 million??? Only SRK rocks in overseas as well as India. Post this comment if you are not aamir fan indicine

  • The way SRK is gonna Promote HAPPY NEW YEAR through his tour #SLAM,, Records will not be broken…but will be Smashed into Pieces even if the Content of Movie turns out to be Pathetic…Datz SRK’s Power & Craze in Overseas.

  • It will be tough for any future star to match SRK’s record in overseas. He’s been way too consistent in last 1.5 – 2 decades.

  • many enthusiastic fans were saying that kick will earn 200 cr in overseas nd 500 cr worldwide total..
    now look at the reality..21 rank in all time top first weekend in overseas..
    i dont know the reason why some fans try to be in dreams..
    accept the reality..
    salman khan is at peak of his career but only in india as overseas is still dominated by 2 other khans..
    kick can be salman’s highest grosser in overseas but i cant see the possibility to be in top 5 there..

  • CE was a desi masala film n did $20 million overseas thanks to srk while other masala films r not big hits overseas. HNY with more international appeal and higher production values will earn even more and break overseas records again. And then fan will be huge overseas as well.

  • KING KHAN will completely thrash and crush d3’s record completely with out any doubt,mark my words.BADSHAH IS COMING VERY SOON.

    @navin,why?what kind of excuse is this,lol?you and bhai’s 2-3 fans in Poland couldn’t save the film in overseas?now take amir’s name to save sallu’s ass.this time no one could save you.kindly clear your confusion Sallu has very less fan compared to KING KHAN in domestic also,lol.

  • Kick is a ratananesque film..and after so much bashing will fall tomorrow..big mistake by nadiadwala..if he wanted to copy dhoom3why did he buy the rights of the south indian film?

  • @raj no doubt Srk was huge in overseas but he is not at high as he was till MNIK, his more overseas appeling films fails to create wonders which shows him upper side. Take don 2 as an example a beautifuly shot film in overseas with a franchise recall value collected 1 million more than KANK which released 5 years ago. He is still huge but his fan following there is not increasing too much. That’s why MNik still unreachable though Hny might collect more than as he is looking more interesting to promote film in foreign countries. Btw Aamir in last 5 years challenging srk in overseas and interestingly even surpassed him too whatever reason you think.

  • the indians outside immediately realize a stale product so they discarded this ratandanesque film..it is only us jo mare chale jaa rahe hain..

    we are born suckers that is why we end up paying money also and do not get full service

    it is in our genes

  • Overseas collections are bit lower for salman khan movies. But reality is salman is living for indians , make charity for indians not like so called srk who make charity for other countries and makes fool indians. Salman living in indians heart .

  • @Chickrum this is only the opening weekend..Lunchbox has gone ahead of all our Kings movies except CE..wake up and smell the coffee..don’t worry about PK..remember that turup ka ikka, badshah se bhi badi hoti hai!!! :)

  • Mr.bond you get a life dude. Hahahaha aamir more popular than SRK hahahaha never heard such a big joke… My relatives who live in USA , I’ve ask them many times who’s the most popular star of India there. Answer we all know. I’m not gonna lie n say I live in USA I live in India n I don’t lie like vinbar n Anand who claim to live in UK n Malaysia while they’re easily caught commenting at odd times in UK some of his comments are at 4:17 at morning in UK. Which is why I know he’s lying. Lonely guy with no life tingulal fan
