‘Tiger’ opens bigger than ‘Bodyguard’

EK THA TIGER has fetched a flying start in the international markets. Although the holy month of Ramzan kept a chunk of the movie-going audience away from theatres, yet, the opening weekend business of the film is far superior than BODYGUARD [except U.K.], which is the biggest opener of Salman Khan in the international arena … JULAYI [Telugu] maintained rock-steady figures in its second weekend in U.S.A., despite the EK THAT TIGER wave. Hit … DEVUDU CHESINA MANUSHULU [Telugu] is extremely poor in U.S.A.

Weekend: August 17 - 19, 2012.
