Kick has collected around $3.1 million (Rs 18.6 cr) worldwide in its first weekend at the overseas box office, which would look disappointing as the film is not even in the Top 20 all time overseas grossers.
However, two of the biggest markets for Indian films, apart from US and UAE, is U.A.E and Pakistan. The Ramadan release has affected the film big time in UAE, while Kick is only releasing in Pakistan tomorrow.
There are reports coming in that the film will take a historic start in Pakistan, breaking all previous records of Hindi film released in the country. The advance booking is better than any film ever released in the country (including Pakistani film) and there are expectations that on Eid the film will be running close to full capacity throughout the country.
Overall, amongst all time openers, Kick stands at No 21 in a list dominated by Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan.
- Dhoom 3 – $10.3 million
- Chennai Express – $7.25 million
- My Name Is Khan – $5.4 million
- Ra One – $5.2 million
- Don 2 – $5.15 million
- Talaash – $4.9 million
- Jab Tak Hai Jaan – $4.7 million
- Om Shanti Om – $4.2 million
- Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna – $4.15 million
- 3 Idiots – $4.05 million
- Kick – $3.1 million (ranked at No 21)
SRK rules when it comes to overseas market
a list dominated by aamir khan also… LOL
It is dominated by KING KHAN…
after the release of dhoom3 also u had posted this list nd also may be after jai ho released… nd now also.. but no change… kick don’t hav any impact on this list of top 10
KING AND AAMIR ROCKS IN OVERSEAS
Agreed that list dominated by Srk but anyones eye will go on Aamir’s Dhoom 3 1st as it is right there in the top so what the use in dominating such list.lol
bangbang will enter in top 10 for sure
WAIT FOR HNY
AAMIR gets the best release date overseas I.e Xmas weekend. He doesn’t have the capabilities of getting a Feb and Aug release earn 100 crs.
Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna still holds the record for the best screen average ever, with each theatre earning $21,200 In USA Canada ?#?KANK? .. _/\_
————————————–
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!
Even with such a big tour srk won’t be able to brake his MNIK record. Forget 3I and D3. And PK will surely break 3I and D3’S record. So everyone knows who dominates the list in overseas.
@ nipun ,great review .
Aamir is the King of overseas, Srk will never beat him. His biggest film CE couldnt beat 3I forget Dhoom 3.
Hny will also be a moronic film by farah..its makers like op mehra farhan who make classy films..swades was the best film of srk.? But now like salman he also feels that he can get away with belowmediocre stuff

Aamir and Srk seems way ahead than rest. Srk was from 1 to 5 in overseas till 3i, since than Aamir all 3 films 3i, talaash and D3 among the top earners. Talaash weekend was better than jthj in 2012 though jthj enjoyed double weekend there so way higher in lifetime collection than talaash, but with D3 aamir gone even one step higher. This year HNY Will be top earner in weekend as it enjoys festive weekend while p.k. will have normal weekend but if P.k. Emerge top overseas grosser this year than Srk dominance will be overtaken by Aamir. I hope Salman join them but the kind of film he churning its not looking possible in near future. Disappointed with kick weekend, but if it had Festive weekend than collection might look better as it would gross close to 4-4.5 million then but still thinks it will be highest grosser of Salman both domestic and overseas beating kick.
Lol at mindset of haterz- Sarkar doesnt have the biggest or second biggest movie in the Highest Grossing Overseas Film list but bcoz he occupies every other position that amounts to domination apparently…. Well he can carry on dominating the overseas market at that pace bcoz Aamir causes a real STORM whenever he arrives on Christmas with his goodies to enthrall audiences and no doubt this year PK will give Aamir a clean sweep of the Top 3 positions in the overseas list…! Thats what matters to us but to lungiwalas Sarkar will still dominate as positiin 3-10 he occupies… Jeez what low cheap mentality
@queenshuk what happened in 2011 then my lungi drag queen friend…?
Did overseas audience think instead of Santa Claus the Grim Reaper was arriving with some crappy CON 2 rip off OTT movie….?
Watched kick last night in Auckland barely with 30-50 people including me.
What a utter stupid kick.
I never get bored like this in other movies. HEADACHE HEADACHE HEADACHE
Well, Salman Khan does different types movies for the masses, but his previous movies are always good at overseas.
