Overseas: Business hits rock-bottom!

With no Hindi release in theatres last weekend, the business continued to remain low-key. Since all released films have reached a saturation point, the audiences are now looking forward to the two major openers this Friday -- WELCOME and TAARE ZAMEEN PAR. The business should show an upward trend yet again in the coming days!

Weekend: December 14 – 16, 2007.
