Overseas WELCOME beats Akshay's record
December 24, 2007 7:55:29 PM IST
Bollywood Trade News Network


View Welcome Movie Stills

With a historic opening, not only has the Indian Films-Studio 18 mega release, WELCOME outstripped competition and emerged the final winner at the box-office, but the numbers in the overseas have also surpassed those of all erstwhile solo Akshay Kumar titles, creating a new record for the superstar!

In the UK, the preview and opening weekend gross was a smashing 370,000 (approx) from 40 locations.

In the UAE, just the 5-day business of WELCOME was nearly as much as the lifetime gross of Kumar's earlier hits. The business to date is AED 1.8 million from 29 locations.

In the US, the first two days grossed $100,000 only from the mainstream theatres (independents excluded) extremely impressive considering the biggest grosses will start from December 26. In almost every mainstream location, WELCOME out-grossed even the major Hollywood openers like Charlie Wilson's WAR, P.S. I LOVE YOU and WALK HARD: THE DEWEY COX STORY.

Remarks Akshay Kumar of breaking his record, "Three previous hits and now WELCOME creating records; 2007 has been a year of box-office fortune! I'm glad that I'm ending 2007 on a high (literally) with WELCOME, my highest overseas opener."

Is Akshay on Facebook?
26 Dec, 2007 05:49 pm IST

According to industry sources, Akshay Kumar is the latest B-town biggie to have turned web-savvy and joined the growing Facebook community. It seems his facebook id is Raju Bhatia (Akshay's real name is Rajiv Bhatia) and a poster image of his latest comic blockbuster, 'Welcome' is his display picture.

The profile appears to have been created post the successful release of 'Welcome' , which has been his biggest overseas opener to date. 'Welcome' made it to the No.8 spot in the coveted UK TOP 10 after its opening weekend despite the presence of Hollywood biggies.

Given his busy schedule it is not clear how much Akshay will really access or visit his Facebook page or whether it will be managed on his behalf by someone or whether the page gets pulled off following the news-leak! But if it remains, it is most certainly a great way for his worldwide audience to connect with him, irrespective of whether he is able to reciprocate

I'm on FB too, but I don't believe that Akki would join...I had heard Twinkle was there too & searched for her, but to no avail...they wouldn't want the public to access their profiles obviously 😭

FIZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

RAHILAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

YO DUDES! How are you all?

I saw Welcome earlier this week. Fantastic movie. 😆 A great laugh. And Akki was superb like always. His fourth hit in a row *feels proud* 😆.

Yeah I heard about Akki being on Facebook too..Hmm, I don't have a facebook, but searched on my sisters account to see the profile. It might be Akki, you never know. I'll ask her to add him as a friend and see if he adds back 😆.

And wishing you all a VERY Happy New Year.
