Sultan had an average opening in China with a collection of $1 million apprx on its first day. The film had a solid release with around 10000 screens and 36000 screenings but there was also competition of Mission Impossible - Fallout which also released on the same day.



The opening is the seventh highest in China but PK had similar collections when it was released in 2015 and the market for Hindi films is far bigger now. Sultan is a commercial masala Hindi film with limited appeal for the ladies and that could be a reason for the average start. Films which are content driven and favour the ladies audience tend to fare better in China. The all time historical great Bahubali - The Conclusion also could not get the Chinese on its side.



The top openings in China with collections, screenings and footfalls till date are as follows.




1. Secrect Superstar - $6,810,000

Screenings - 55,865

Footfalls - 1,584,246



2. Hindi Medium - $3,340,000

Screenings - 45,300

Footfalls - 682,127



3. Dangal - $2,490,000

Footfalls - 549,939



4. Bahubali - The Conclusion - $2,440,000

Screnings - 52,959

Footfalls - 493,884



5. Toilet Ek Prem Katha - $2,350,000

Screenings - 57,136

Footfalls - 497,184



6. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - $2,250,000

Screenings - 20,302

Footfalls - 462,522

BOI and their comedy excuses.

What woman empowerment theme did Hindi Medium had??
Kuch bhi.
Still cannot digest that it is Aamir who paved way for Bollywood in China.

This is opening day, Bajrangi did really well in China.
Not in the scale of Dangal or Secret Superstar, but it collected nearly 300 or just above it in China.
