Overseas: Major disappointments!

Shockingly low - that's the right way to describe the box-office fate of the two major releases, CASH and GANDHI MY FATHER, in U.K. Keeping the screen count in mind [CASH - 29, GANDHI MY FATHER - 36], the two films should’ve embarked on a £ 100,000 + figure at least. Meanwhile, PARTNER continues to perform exceedingly well here.

Weekend: August 3 – 5, 2007.
