Salman Khans Kick superhit In Pakistan
Salman Khan's 'Kick' has not only earned big revenue in the Indian market, but also in the neighbouring country Pakistan. The Eid release film is a superhit in Pakistan and turned out to be the highest holiday grosser in that country.
'Kick' box office collection in Pakistan is estimated to be over Rs 20.8 million.
Karachi's Ghalib cinema, located in Korangi area, has not seen such profit for years. Muhammad Ashraf, manager of Ghalib says he had to arrange for morning shows after seeing the increasing number of audience and the huge demand for tickets.
Even in the heydays of Pakistani films the theatre did not earn such figures like now, says Ashraf. The film has been earning Rs 65 to 70,000 per show on an average on the blockbuster 'Kick', added Ashraf.
The figures earned at the Ghalib cinema are historic as the theatre has only one screen and the seating arrangements are not very comfortable. But people have thronged the theatre since Eid and all shows are running house full.
Pakistan's well known exhibitor and distributor, Nadeem Mandviwalla says multiplexes and cineplexes get major share of the business as they have several shows in a day, besides the high ticket prices. But Salman's 'Kick' has been a blessing for single screen owners as reports suggest that they are doing good business.
Sajid Nadiadwala's Kick was released in 58 screens across Karachi on Eid. The film stars Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez in lead roles.
