Kamal Hassan starrer Dasavatharam has opened better than the much fancied Bollywood comedy Mere Baap Pehle Aap.
Initial UK Box Office figures state Dasavatharam making $246,677 in its first weekend, while Mere Baap Pehle Aap lagged behind with $199,469. Dasavatharam was shown on a mere 19 screens compared to 31 for Mere Baap Pehle Aap. The per screen average of Dasavatharam was $12,983, second only to big new entry The Incredible Hulk ($13,087). Per screen average for Mere Baap Pehle Aap stood at $6,434. Dasavatharam entered the chart at number 11 while Mere Baap Pehle Aap was number 13.
In its second week of release, Amitabh Bachchan starrer Sarkar Raj fell 8 places… from number 8 to number 16. Still showing on a high 48 screens, the film recorded collections of $100,191, with its total now at $605,289. The only other new Indian release of the week, Summer 2007, made an unimpressive debut… $2,398 on 7 screens with an average of $343.
