Shah Rukh Khan in Pathaan
Shah Rukh Khan's 'Pathaan' opened at around 5,500 screens in India and at 2,500 screens internationally (in 100 countries). Out of the 2,500 screens overseas, the film was screened at 694 theatres in the US.
According to Variety, a US-based media house, the film is smashing records at the box office in North America - the most prominent one being that the film landed the biggest opening day gross ever for a Hindi-language production on January 25.
Variety further reports that 'Pathaan' drew an estimated USD 1.86 million opening day gross across 694 locations in North America, marking the best per-theatre average for any current release!
If the film continues to entertain audiences in the US the same way, it is all set to debut in third or fourth place - behind 'Avatar: The Way of Water', 'Puss in Boots: The Last Wish', and 'A Man Called Otto'.
