The Tamil language film Kabali has smashed all weekend records for a film from India. The previous record was held by Dhoom at $10.32 million but Kabali has gone through that comfortably. The film has grossed $4.05 million is US / Canada which is in four days but for comparison the three day figure of $3.51 million is taken. This is the second highest figure ever in US / Canada after PK which was slightly better at $3.55 million.
The film has grossed a further $3.75 million in the Far East which includes Malaysia, Singapore and Philippines over four days as Malaysia and Singapore see unbelievable numbers though this was probably expected as it fetched a higher price for Malaysia than US / Canada. The three day figures is $3.50 million for Far East. The Gulf has grossed $2 million which gives the film a total of $9 million three day figure and there is still Europe, Oceania, Africa and parts of Middle East to come. United Kingdom will be around $400,000 over three days..
The film has also broken all records in Sri Lanka where day one was similar to the lifetime of Dilwale which scored big there. The three day figure for the film will close around the $10.57 million mark (INR 71 crore)and if we take four day figure it will probably be a $12.15 million weekend (INR 81.5 crore).
The $10.57 million three day weekend beats Dhoom 3, Dilwale, Sultan. It is the second film after Dhoom 3 to cross $10 million in three days but that was a Christmas release which is the best period in Overseas and Kabali has been released on a normal period.
