The clash of the Titans -- FAMILY - TIES OF BLOOD and ZINDA -- hasn't yielded positive results. Expectedly, ZINDA has fared better than FAMILY, but the overall weekend business of the two films in U.K. and Australia is far from flattering.
In the U.S., ZINDA got the advantage of a 4-day weekend, but despite the holiday, the figures aren't captivating.
