Kick gets all time biggest opening in Pakistan
KARACHI: Eidul Fitr is the most lucrative season for cinema in Pakistan, as producers, distributors and exhibitors all try to recover from the Ramazan hiatus. They do that by complementing the best possible exhibition option with the most feasible distribution network in terms of the cinema circuit and number of screens. And when you have a Salman Khan action film slated for an Eid release then the cinema industry chooses it without giving it a second thought and it mostly works in their favour.
Even this time around Salman Khan proved to be a goldmine for the box office as
Kick created history with its all time high first day collection of Rs20.08 million on the first day of Eid.
Kick not only breaks the Rs11.4 million opening day business of
Waar but also eclipses
Dhoom 3s all time highest opening day collection of Rs19m.
Kick has the advantage of being released on Eid but also faces possible competition from Akshay Kumars
Its Entertainment and Ajay Devgns much anticipated
Singham Returns, scheduled to release 10 and 16 days from now respectively. Both these films may reduce
Kicks chances of achieving anything extraordinary in the long run but Salman Khan has always proved the odds wrong.
Lets see whether
Kick manages to be the all time highest grossing film in Pakistan or not.
