Zero has not done well in Overseas

Zero has not done well in Overseas as it had collected in the $4.75-5 million range. Gulf has done pretty with collections close to $1.75 million. It was released on Friday rather than the regular Thursday and on fair value it would be the second best opening of the year after Race 3 in Gulf. USA / Canada will be around $950k and United Kingdom will do 300k apprx. Both have not performed but it could also be due to pre Xmas and collections should sustain till the New Year. But the film probably does not have the reports to really take benefit of thsi period.

The best market is Pakistan where it collected $525k apprx. It had the third best opening day ever here after Sultan and Sanju. The business from the five markets of United Kingdom, US / Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and Pakistan will be around $4 million and $750k-$1M should come from the rest of the world.

It is the fifth best opener of the year but Shahrukh Khan is the biggest star Overseas (excluding Far East) and it should be doing much better. Dilwale had clocked $8 million a few years back on Xmas and even Jab Harry met Sejal crossed $6 million last year. Padmaavat is the top opener of 2018 and it is also the all time top opener. The top ten openings overseas in 2018 are as follows.

1. Padmaavat - $10,590,000

2. Race 3 - $7,790,000

3. Sanju - $7,220,000

4. Thugs Of Hindostan - $5,730,000 apprx

5. Zero - $5,000,000 apprx

6. Baaghi - $3,360,000

7. Veere Di wedding $2,630,000

8. Pad Man - $2,300,000

9. 2.0 (Hindi) - $2,230,000

10. Badhaai Ho - $2,180,000

ZERO is a disaster even in overseas which is a massive setback for SRK who was undisputed king outside India between 2000-2008. In last 8 years, his popularity has been rapidly declining in overseas too.. ZERO has done almost half the business of RACE 3 in 1st weekend (overseas)
