Top 10 First Week Overseas Grossers – All time

The first week overseas business of KICK is at No 8 in the all time list of highest first week grossers. Aamir Khan’s Dhoom 3 is way ahead of the competition – first week was more than double of KICK and 40 cr more than Shahrukh Khan’s Chennai Express.

Dhoom 3 was the first film to collect more than 100 crore in its first week at the overseas box office.

Again, the list is dominated by Shahrukh Khan (5 films in Top 10) and Aamir Khan (3 films). Salman isn’t as popular overseas as he is in India, but the 3 Khans rule overseas too. The Khans are followed by Hrithik Roshan and Ranbir Kapoor, but none of their films are currently in the Top 10.

  • Wow! Khans rule oversease too. Agreed salman is not no.1 in oversease still he is in top 3.

  • @himanshusolia, even ur hollywood standard movies rohit series were not able enter in top ten forget about bang bang…

  • If Kick fails to beat CE’s total collections of 422cr, that would be an underperformance altogether. Dhoom:3’s 500cr+ is far, I hope it can at cross 400cr.

  • yeah shahrukh khan is the king of overseas…salman khan is the bhai of India….but aamir khan is the legend of both overseas as well as domestic (India)…!!!! rest of them followed by them…akshay,ranbir,hritik,ajay…

  • Numbers are increasing by each passing years, Bollywood movies are also getting wider releases in overseas market.

    SRK has delivered nearly 17 blockbusters in overseas (may never be broken), Aamir has 3 blockbusters (Fanaa, 3 Idiots, Dhoom 3), Salman has 2 blockbusters (HAHK, ETT) and Hrithik has 3 blockbusters (Dhoom 2, K3G, Jodhaa Akbar).

    Total overseas blockbusters by each superstars –

    SRK – 17
    Aamir – 3
    Hrithik – 3
    Salman – 2

    Hrithik was the 2nd behind SRK until 2008 (3 BBs to Aamir and Salman’s 1), now its clearly SRK and Aamir at the top. Maybe, Bang Bang is also expected to do well in overseas (although some people may give it a bye since its an official remake of Knight & Day, and HNY (sounds similar to HNY 1986) and P.K. are potential ATBBs in overseas as well.

    P.S. – I would like to read an article about all of their success ratio in overseas market if possible, i.e. all of their Hits and Flops, I cannot find it from anywhere on internet.

  • Oppsss its cheating where are Bhai’s 6 other Blockbusters…………………. Lolzzz

    5 For KING

    3 For Perfaketionist

    2 For Domestic Blockbuster Bhai

    Our Bhai needs too much hard work to groom himself and get modernism + class to reach international educated and sense able audience

  • Amir gave just two blockbuster in oversease by the grace of dhoom brand n masterpice 3idiots where srk gave 17blockbuster in oversease

  • Love Srk,hope HNY breaks Dhoom3 records (Although very difficult) which kick failed to do both in domestic and overseas…..If pk and HNY fail this year to break dhoom 3 then wait for dhoom 4

  • @Tiger – Hrithik’s “Kites” was the FIRST Bollywood film to reach the weekend top 10 in North America.

    Also, superhero movies (outside from Hollywood) are less likely to do well in overseas than action/comedy/romance movies, as their budget is almost 25 times less than Hollywood superhero films. And, its all about technology in superhero movies.

  • Bang bang will seriously enter in to top 5
    Weekend will be 8 million
    First week would be 12 million
    Lifetime would be 15
    Just wait and watch

  • @sahir, atleast salman has two movies among top 10 1st week oversease grossers but ur king has only 1(ce) in top 10 1st week grossers list of india. At the same time Salman has 5 movies(bodyguard, ett, dabang2, jai ho nd kick) in the list.

  • @rohit, agreed with ur facts but still bang bang has very less chance because most people already watched Knight and Day there.
