As things stand today, it's pretty evident that Gurinder Chadha's BRIDE AND PREJUDICE will not surpass the theatrical business of BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM in U.K. The East meets West flick has slipped to No. 4 position in its second weekend, facing stiff competition from Hollywood biggies SHARK TALE and WHITE CHICKS.
While BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM had collected £ 1.7 million on 386 screens in its second weekend, BRIDE AND PREJUDICE has collected £ 863,609 on 377 screens in its second weekend. See the difference!
BRIDE AND PREJUDICE should make its debut in Europe, Australia and U.S.A. in the coming weeks. Let's see how the film fares in these markets!
