Jawan box office collections: Shah Rukh Khan starrer scores record breaking 125 crores day one Worldwide
The Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan grossed Rs. 129 crore worldwide on first day, surpassing Pathaan's Rs. 108 crore and marking the highest-ever opening day in the industry's history.
As expected, Jawan has embarked on its international journey with an extraordinary launch, amassing an estimated $4.70 million (Rs. 39 crores) approx on its opening day. The initial figures closely resemble those of Pathaan, with most markets performing at a similar level, albeit with slight variations. Depending on the final numbers from certain markets, Jawan's opening day may either surpass or fall slightly short of Pathaan. The Shah Rukh Khan starrer also made a splash domestically, with first-day estimates hovering around Rs. 90 crores. Combining the two gives a phenomenal Rs. 129 crore worldwide opening day, setting a new milestone for Bollywood, surpassing Pathaan's Rs. 108 crore and marking the highest-ever opening day figure in the industry's history.
Coming back to overseas, no other Bollywood film has ever achieved a single-day collection of USD 4 million, and here, Shah Rukh Khan has delivered his second USD 4 million-plus opening, even with a mid-week release. Thursday has set the stage for the film to potentially exceed USD 20 million during its four-day weekend, given the positive initial audience reception, and Friday is expected to witness a substantial surge in collections.
Breaking down Jawan's first-day business, North America opened with USD 1.40 million, the second-highest opening day ever for a Bollywood film, just behind Pathaan (USD 1.49 million). The film was leading Pathaan in pre-sales for a long time but eventually, walkups fell short which could be due to this being a September weekdays release with schools in session now. Friday's pre-sales for the film are strong, and it's quite likely that the film exceed USD 2 million today.
The Middle East also experienced a tremendous start, grossing USD 1.75 million, the industry's best opening surpassing Pathaan's USD 1.60 million. The United Kingdom had a robust start as well, with GBP 310K, just slightly behind Pathaan's GBP 319K. In Australia, the film created history, becoming the first Indian film to top the box office charts with AUD 400K on Thursday.
In Germany, Jawan achieved the highest first-day collection ever for an Indian film with EUR 150K, surpassing the previous record of EUR 125K set by Pathaan. Although Sri Lanka is a relatively minor market for Hindi films, Jawan had a massive opening day with approximately LKR 1.25 crores, nearly matching the five-day weekend collection of Pathaan.
