This news just in… Om Shanti Om has broken the £400,000 barrier in the UK.
The Farah Khan directed comedy flick already had accumulated £316,211 in it’s first 2 days of business in the UK, and now it has gone over the £400,000 mark. Please keep in mind that it is still only 17:30hrs in the UK, and the Sunday evening cinema-goers have yet to leave home.
The film could break £500,000 by end of business today, which would mean it will become Shah Rukh Khan’s biggest ever opening in the UK. Previously, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Ghum, Devdas, Kal Ho Na Ha, Veer Zaara, and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna went past the £400,000. Om Shanti Om’s Saturday collections jumped a substantial 77%.
Good news also for Saawariya fans, it too has seen an increase in it’s collections, taking £64,293 on Saturday, a jump of 68%. End of Saturday collection for Saawariya stood at £102,547, and if it keeps this up then it WILL break into the UK Top 10.
Do visit RS tomorrow evening (Monday) to find out if Shah Rukh Khan has beaten Tom Cruise to a better position in the UK Charts.
