There have two hugely hyped Hollywood films (Baywatch and XXX - Return Of Xander Cage) in India due to the presence of mainstream Hindi film heroines and both have flopped badly. Baywatch is a disaster in India while XXX - Return Of Xander Cage is a flop but when you talk about Hollywood films its not about what happens in India but about the States. Just like for a Hindi film its about India and not US or UK.
The picture across the world is similar to India but in US / Canada for whom both are actually B grade films it will be Baywatch which will actually do better. The business of the two films in US / Canada is as follows
US / Canada
XXX - Return Of Xander Cage - $44.90 million
Baywatch - $60m (expected)
India
XXX - Return Of Xander Cage - 38.39 crore nett
Baywatch - 9.50 crore nett (expected)
Baywatch has also done better in the other traditional western market of United Kingdom as it notched up 4.63 million in just 3 days while the lifetime business of XXX - Return Of Xander Cage was just 3.68 million.
