3 Idiots take Box Office
January 8th 2010 14:06
Reliance Big Pictures’ 3 Idiots released Christmas Day, has grossed $52m (R2.4bn) worldwide as of last Sunday January 3. breaking all previous international box office records for Hindi features.
The film, a Vidhu Vinod Chopra production was released on over 2000 screens worldwide.
In ten days, the film has taken $4.7m in North America, $2.3m in the Middle East, $1.8m in the UK and $800,000 in Australia.
“With movie marketing spending spiraling upwards, and with shelf life at the cinemas becoming shorter, it’s imperative to go out ‘wide’ with the initial theatrical release. 3 Idiots was clearly the most awaited film of the year, also Aamir Khan’s next after a very successful Ghajini, these were compelling reasons for staging an ‘ultra wide’ release.”
Kamal Gianchandani, COO distribution, Reliance Big Picture
After a dull year at the box office, 3 Idiots provided a stronger end to 2009.
The trade is pinning its hopes on a few films to bolster 2010, including Fox Star’s My Name is Khan (February 12), Reliance Big Pictures’ Kites’ (May 14) and Raavan, due this summer.
