Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan becomes weekend’s second highest grossing film worldwide with $62 Million!

According to preliminary figures given by ComScore, the Shah Rukh Khan-led movie “Jawan” earned $62.7 million globally over the course of the last weekend, moving it into second place behind “The Nun II” ($85.3 million) in terms of global box office receipts. Moreover, ComScore states, “The Equaliser 3,” starring Denzel Washington, came in third with $23.6 million.

The Sept. 7 release of “Jawan,” which stars Khan in a dual role as a father and son who want to end corruption in Indian society, broke the actor’s own Bollywood opening day record. According to figures from the producer Red Chillies Entertainment, the Hindi-language version brought in $9.4 million in India, with an additional $1.3 million from Tamil and Telugu-language dubbed versions.

The previous record-holder for a Hindi-language movie was Khan’s “Pathaan,” which debuted in January and made $12.7 million globally on its first day of release after earning $8.32 million in India and an additional $4.5 million in other markets.

Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan wins big at the Box office:

According to ComScore data, “Jawan” had the fourth-highest opening weekend gross in the United States with $6.2 million. It made $29.5 million in India, making it the top-grossing movie there. Behind “Pathaan” ($130 million), “Gadar 2” with Sunny Deol ($81 million), and “Jailer” with Rajinikanth ($76.6 million), “Jawan” is the fourth-highest-grossing Indian movie of the year.

There are no significant releases planned very soon, thus “Jawan” seems destined to keep up its momentum in India. However, “Jawan” was unable to surpass “Pathaan’s” Imax format record. “Jawan” overcame “Pathaan” to become the second-best global opening weekend for an Indian title in Imax history with box office receipts of $2.4 million worldwide.

High-octane action-thriller directed by Atlee centres on the journey of a man who seeks to right the wrongs in society with the aid of a gang of ladies. Shah Rukh Khan plays two characters in the movie, and Nayanthara plays a cop tasked with eliminating Shah Rukh Khan’s character.

Other notable actors in Jawan include Vijay Sethupathi, Priyamani, Deepika Padukone, Sanya Malhotra, Sunil Grover, and Riddhi Dogra. On September 7, the movie opened in theatres around the world in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
