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.

Top 10 First Week Overseas Grossers – All time

  • 1. Dhoom 3 (2013) – $16.8 million (? 104 cr)
  • 2. Chennai Express (2013) – $10.3 million (? 63 cr)
  • 3. Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012) – $8.1 million (? 44 cr)
  • 4. Ra One (2011) – $7.95 million (? 39.8 cr)
  • 5. Don 2 (2011) – $7.9 million (? 41 cr)
  • 6. My Name Is Khan (2010) – $7.8 million (? 36 cr)

  • hahaha. an idiot is saying kick better than srk craps!!!
    Look who’s taking – A typical ‘Salman’ film. LOL

  • Before 3 idiots, hrithik was 2nd after srk. Mainly after guzaarish,hr got underrated. .still,he has a good fan following and popularity in overseas as well. Bang bang will do well in overseas..

  • MNIK and 3idiots are two of the best movies in the list followed by talaash. Rest are average to below average.

  • @Tiger – Even I have said that in my first comment. But, I had a same feeling about Dhoom 3 as it was inspired from The Prestige, but it proved me wrong, granted Dhoom was a big franchise, still I think Bang Bang will do well (better than Krrish 3 for sure), at least more than $10 million lifetime.
    Haider will prevent it from breaking any record in India or anywhere else.

  • @nipun i appreciate Hrithik’s work. Specially Guzarish. But i differ with Bang Bang business in overseas as they had already watched Knight and Day. But Lets see. Best of Luck HR

  • If people go gaga over Dhoom-3 then i must say Dhoom & Dhoom-2 were also classics and stylish. I have watched first 2 and dont want to watch the third one coz Amir is a Proud and Cheap character actor. He always trying to degrade other colleagues. Which is very worst act. Specially when he said he has a Dog named Shahrukh. As an Big Actor, as a Human Being and specially as a Muslim (as he offered Hajj) that thing didnot suits him. Loose character act. Also he ignored who already announced Christmas 2014 releases. He Postponed his movie from June to December. That really bad and cheap. Anees & Anurag respects Bollywood, respects Raju & Amir so that they preponed and postponed their movies. Coz they dont want any issue. And Amir lied in a press conference that he dont know about Bombay Velvet and Welcome back’s Christmas release. Third Class Act. Proudy Khan.

  • By the end of the run, Kick will take the third spot…Agreed SRK is the King of the overseas but Aamir still ruling there. SRK has largely benefitted from working with Yashraj and Dharma productions. They make films for NRIs and make strong marketing channels. Besides, he goes to overseas and does many roadside shows and other programs to grab headlines. His PR channels are working in full swing…

    Salman is least bothered about that. He is a contended man. He is the King in India.
    Kick Collections at BO in 10 days: 204 Crores…

    Earnings are mentioned as they are without any excuses or reasons.

    Some facts below….

    ETT- 3200 Screens, Independence Day , Pre Eid Release, Kabir Khan (Class Director), Yashraj, Katrina Kaif
    Earnings @ BO- 199 Crores

    JTHJ- 2500 Screens, Diwali Release, Clash with OSO (directed by a low profile director), Yash Chopra (Legend), Yash Raj, Katrina, Anushka
    Earnings @BO- 122 Crores

    Dabangg 2- 3700 Screens, Christmas Release, Arbaaz Khan (Debutant Director), Arbaaz Khan Productions, Sonakshi Sinha
    Earnings @ BO- 156 Crores

    CE- 3500 Screens, Ticket Price Hiked, Eid Holiday, Eid Release, Rohit Shetty (BB Director), Red Chillies & UTV, Deepika Padukone, Rajnikanth Factor
    Earnings @ BO- 227 Crores
    Earned only 0.2 Crores more than ETT did one year back with less 350 Screens.

    [Note: Do not add 6 Crores from Thursday’s Paid Previews. Add the numbers to the overall earnings of CE. Else, you have to consider CE a Thursday release and count the earnings of CE since then instead of a week. If so, was it a Thursday release, it didn’t break any opening day record.]

    Jai Ho- 3800+ Screens, Ticket Price Lowered Much, No Holiday as Republic Day falling on Sunday, Non-Festive Release, Sohail Khan (Average Director), Daisy Shah (Who’s this?), Campaigns against Salman Khan
    Earnings @ BO- 112-114 Crores

    Kick- 4000+ Screens, Ticket Price Hiked like CE, Non-Holiday Release, Pre Eid, Sajid NW (Debutant Director), NW Ent & UTV, Jaqueline Fernandez (2nd Class Heroine)
    Earnings @ BO- 240+ Crores expected

    Note: Screen counts only matter for a film when there are holidays and weather is good. So, people can come out in numbers.

    Everyone from audiences to critics are going gaga over Kick. It will certainly earn 240 Crores Lifetime….ATBB on the card….

    Yet, why are the haters trying too hard to make Kick looks like bad??? Poor chaps!! Pity them for their hard works proving abortive.

    Chun Chun Ke Badla Loonga Ki Jis Jisne Abhi KICK baare mein bina waja bakre hain, aane do un logon ki heroes’ ki films, kyun ki main Case Aur Face dono nahin bolta.

    Finally, Salman Ek Lambay Race Ka Gudaa Hai, whereas Sarkar is a house cart that needs Gudi Deepika and Gudaa Rohit Shetty. Without them, this house cart i.e. sarkar can’t move. Lol!

    On a serious note, Teesmaar Khan’s Ocean’s 11 remake edited by Joker Kunder won’t be able to go past 160 Crores even if it is released in 10,000 Screens. But the exhibitors do not have faith in the stardom of the sarkar of 3.7 Billions fans worldwide. So, I don’t think it will have that many screen space for a film of a fading star. Besides, hardly will anybody be watching a crap film after the story driven films like Marykom and Haider and a Hollywood level film like Bang Bang. Who will like to eat baasi tarkari (rotten veges) after the fresh ones?

  • wanna say just wait n watch ;) frankly speaking, Raju gave birth to Aamir in Oversease by making 3 idiots..
    Tiger, Tiger, Tiger….
    :D
    let me silence :p
    well kick’s collection is impressive in oversease compare to salman’s past movies collection.

  • Our King rules overseas without any doubt..i somewhat agree with @sahir…after CE broke 3I records last year,i watched one of his interview with utv stars where he was telling “agar 3I abhi release hui hoti,toh inka record aaram se tod deti,bcoz of high rates and no. of screens”…i know he was right but that shows his concern over this b.o collections…while don’t find these things with Salman,HR,srk,akki…Aamir is too outspoken sometimes…

  • oversease people allready watch crap nite n day n hr is not now popular in ovesease like pre 2010. Even 2year hype krish3 did less than yjhd in oversease despite diwali release

  • @haters and fan of tingulal ur perfaketionist said in his interview agar 3idiot abhi release hoti to CE ka record easily tor deti etc etc. Such a childish saying. These ifs, buts etc are useless. We can say agar DDLJ, OMO, CDI, KKHH etc abhi release hotin to balah balah balah. One should have to accept the reality. Aamir forget the ticket price of Dhoom-3 950. Lolzzz such a jealous and manipulated and insecure actor he is. Proudy selfish tingu.

  • BANGBANG wil do wonders at d boxofice both in india nd in overseas as well….release bangbang alone on 2nd oct nd u ll find all ur favrt actors chasing bangbang records…but no worries both r difrnt genres nd releasing on d bigest weekend of 2014

  • @Sahir ranting rawant…What’s your problems? What are you trying to say? Aamir is a powerful actor. He doesn’t get shadowed by his costars, whereas your sarkar can even be overshadowed by Thanga Valli..Your sarkar deserve that tag from Aamir at that point of time. Your sarkar was behaving too arrogant at that point of time and shouting from paglapur planet. He was taking potshots at his rivals like Aamir and Salman at every other event. His akal came to tikaane and he came to his aukaat only after after disastrous Ratoon Dot One.

  • Babaji, but our ch akki neither rules India nor overseas… I agree with sahir, aamir has very big ego for nothing he hasn’t achieved anything in life. 3 idiots was hirani’s show n Dhoom 3 was biggest movie. SRK was a poor man’s son and became second richest actor so,atleast SRK has a reason for his Ego. While I don’t like salman but he’s a lot better person than aamir

  • @chikrum is currently the worst indicine visitor to me…if u either praise srk or bash him,he will bash other actor for no reason,and his attitude is so high as if he is srk…actually in reality you are not even upto Akki’s foot,shameless creature!!!!

  • some bakwas biggie movies..
    Admit it or not

    1.Dhoom 3
    2.Chennai express
    3.ek tha tiger
    4. krrish 3
    5.Ra.one
    6.Kick
    7.Talaash
    8. Bodygaurd
    9.Dabangg 2

  • @vikram really? Salman is lot better person than aamir? Wat a joke. A guy who kills animals, people sleeping on the road is a better person than aamir? Get a life. ND who the hell r u to say aamir has not achieved anything? Have you watched something called class like lagasn, sarfarosh, DCH, TZP, RDB, 3 idiots, etc. Think 100 times before writing this baseless moronic comment. Aamir is 100000000 times better than clowns srk and Salman.

  • @babaji, thats true with every film, not only 3 idiots. Had sholay or ddlj or hahk released in the same screens as 3i, they would probably make more money. Every film gets an advantage over the previous years film by having higher ticket prices and screen count. Aamir had no reason to whine about it. In fact, 3i was the widest release at that time.

  • @saree wearing sahir 4:32pm comment- It be nice if you could spell sensible correctly for starters- its not ‘sense able’

  • @sick fum lol “atleast sarkar has a reson for his ego…”

    Wow- so you bash Aamir for having a ego when he has every right to have one- 3 All Time Biggest Hits Ever in 6 yrs compared to Sarkars one and that too was broken in record time so hardly a record to have an ego boast about… But its okay for Sarkar to still think he rules domestic n overseas boxoffice- listen you irritant- Sarkar only rules Paglapurian cinema- nothing else. Digest this you loser- ferrari next year can enter ten cars into Formula 1 and they all could occupy positions 3-12 but if the Mercedes occupy the Top 2 then whats the Bigger Achievement loser…? Finishing in first place or finishing second best loser, third, 4th, 5th etc etc…! Fact is in years to come people will remember 3idiots and Dhoom 3 to name afew as the movies that were top dogs in the overseas list not craps that were easily forgettable like KANK or MNIK…! Neither deserved the legacy 3 idiots enjoyed or Dhoom 3 is now enjoying so zip it motor mouth.., aamirs ego is justified- afterall he is as “sss khan” keeps believing ‘fanless’ so to come from no fans to overtake a king of 3.7billion IDs is bigger achievement than your Sarkars rags to riches boring myth…! Cry me a river

  • @lungi wearing babajee- with what wisdom or foresight did you come up with that rant that your king which Im guessing is Lungi King rules overseas….? What logic- my tram finishes mid table every year but people will remember Man City winning the league last yr or Man Utd the yr before… Noone remembers second best losers… Worst place to finish is second- close but no cigar…!

    Your floating lungi has cast a shadow over your eyesight n you perhaps cant see who occupies top 2 positions- I guess you being a floating fan of floppy Akki Sir have become accustomed to not looking at the top levels of any list but concentrate on mid table where Akkis current ranking is best suited. But as fans of the Top 2 Khans we know only top positions matter n luckily Aamir n Salman beat thakur in both Overseas n Domestic listings/ rankings…!

  • @Total Sap long time no see nor hear from you- guess today you picked up this lungi ooops ID… What a douche bag- aamir whining…? Why when he knew Dhoom 3 was going to reclaim back his rightful place at the Top Of The Tree…! Similarly Salman saved Thakurs career by giving him an Eidi gift last yr but deep down bhai knew he will reclaim his Eid n with a Bang Bang… Where do you lungiwalas get such retardistic logic from I will never know but it was nice to see you today for tomorrow it will be a diffetent lungi sorry ID and TS becomes what user….? Lol keep shocking hater

  • Mr.bond and who the hell are you to call SRK n salman clowns. Get up dude your dream is over aamir is the real clown here.

  • Amir will beat his own oversease record of Dhoom3 with PK.. Bang bang will not do gud bussines in european contries cz its an official remake and these people like orignals.. HNY got some chances but lets wait for its trailer bcz the 1st look is not that impressive..

  • Hahaha. Aamir rules overseas b.o. And suddenly some haters of him talking about his EGO. Now i will clear some doubt Ghajini collected 7.2 million $ overseas while Rnbdj collected 8.5 billion. Look the difference between them. While earlier is core south action Masala which not being success. Even Oso and Ce didn’t have the typical south action element. So its not Raju who put Aamir big in overseas. Yes with 3i he came at top but even 3i first week collection were all time record. If someone has doubt than read the post where 3i still at no 7 as far as this list. And all top 6 films released after 3i. See the difference between d3 and ce, one is pre Cristmas release while other is Eid holiday release. See the gap. Talaash weekend collection were more than jthj weekend in 2012 but Jthj had bigger first week due to it get 2 weekend. Tue to thur diwali release and normal friday to sunday weekend. Aamir’s fanaa,ghajini and Lagaan were in top 10 list during their release. He has achieved success due to his work.

  • @Saree wale Sahir, still KICK crossed Jab Tak Hai Mojo’s lifetime worldwide gross in 10 days..too much fun!!! lol :P

  • @sahir agree that srk is self made star but in life there are many people who supports you and give you a chance. Even a child can’t be out in the world from his/her mother without a support of doctor,nurse etc. Aamir wasn’t a son of yrf films or other big banner. Neither he is son of any superstar. It doesn’t mean if other has less struggle than his success is not appreciable. I told you what Aamir achieved. He has achieved fans like me who can fight any xyz haters, trust of many film lovers with movies like qsqt,lagaan,sarfarosh,rdb,dch,3i,tzp. And haters like you who from yesterday is busy enough in other sites and posting funny twist and taking dig on Aamir on Pk related post. Bete srk still needs yrf and kjo to get biggest grosser in overseas. As his 6 all time grosser ddlj,kkhh,k3g,vz,kank,mnik. He failed from last 4 releases to break Mnik so now he distributing his film with Yrf and deciding to promote hugely in overseas market. That’s srk for you. atLeast Aamir had 3i which not belong to yrf/dharma.

  • @TS then why DDLJ failed to brake HAHK record which released in less no of screens? AND don’t compare DDLJ and Sholay with a class movie like 3 idiots.3 Idiots is much much better than sholay and DDLJ combined. Aamir was is and will remain bigger star than srk.
