The Salman Khan-starrer Race 3 has created a new opening day box office collection record in Pakistan. The film fetched Pakistani rupees 2.25 crore on its opening day on Saturday beating Avengers: Infinity War and the local release, 7 Din Mohabbat In, which stars Mahira Khan.

The film, directed by Remo D'Souza, released eight days late in Pakistan after the government imposed a ban on the screening of Indian films two days before and one week after the Eid holiday period. The ban was imposed so that four big banner Pakistani films and other smaller regional language releases on Eid do good business without competition from Bollywood movies.
