Shah Rukh Khan’s “Pathaan” is on track to break the record set by “RRR” at the box office in the United States. The film earned another $2.7 million in its second weekend, bringing its total earnings to $14 million.
If the film earns another $300,000 on Monday, it will surpass “RRR” and become the second highest grossing Indian film in North America. Rajamouli’s “RRR” grossed $14.3 million in the United States (three languages combined). “Pathaan,” an action film, raked in such a large sum in just 12 days.
With $20 million, Rajamouli’s “Baahubali 2” remains the highest-grossing Indian film in North America. The film “Pathaan” starred Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone.
The film is directed by Siddharth Anand, who will next work with Prabhas.
Weekend Telugu releases
Three new Telugu films were released in theatres last week. Among them, the low-budget film “Writer Padmabhushan” emerged victorious. The film made around $200k (Rs 1.60 Cr). A huge success.
Sundeep Kishan’s “Michael” earned $90k (Rs 70 Lakhs). “Butta Bomma” was a no-go.
