Earlier this year we saw the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathaan hit screens, creating massive furor. In fact, the business of the film rattled the box office registers in both the domestic and international markets. Not months later we see the release of yet another Shah Rukh Khan starrer in the form of Jawan. Interestingly, buzz for the Atlee directorial Jawan has far eclipsed the anticipation for Pathaan. But will the film manage to hold its own at the box office is the question. Not surprisingly, Jawan has opened with a bang in both the domestic and international markets. In fact, in certain overseas markets the business of the film has managed to claim the number one spot-on box-office charts.
In this box office report, we look at the opening day collections of Jawan in the overseas markets of Australia and New Zealand while comparing the same to Shah Rukh Khan earlier release Pathaan. In Australia, Jawan has managed to draw in a staggering USD 253,999 from 114 locations on its opening day. However, the business of the film does not manage to surpass the collections of Pathaan that had raked in USD 393,575 from 105 locations. Similarly in the overseas market of New Zealand, Jawan which managed to draw in USD 46,850 from 34 locations, follows closely behind Pathaan which had collected USD 72,798 from 35 locations.
While currently, when comparing Pathaan and Jawan, Shah Rukh Khan previous release of 2023, emerges as the leader, Jawan enjoys incredible trending. In fact, with highly positive reviews and strong audience feedback the business of the film is expected to see exponential growth. Currently trade predictions claim that Jawan is see an incremental rise in collections over its first Saturday and Sunday with business recording all-time high collections figures.
