The seven-week reign of Disney blockbuster “Avatar: The Way of Water” at the U.K. and Ireland box office has finally ended with Universal’s “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” usurping the throne.
“Puss In Boots: The Last Wish” debuted atop the box office with £4.9 million ($5.9 million). In its eighth weekend, “Avatar: The Way of Water” collected £1.2 million and now has a mighty total of £72.7 million.
Universal's "Knock At The Door," directed by M. Night Shyamalan, debuted in third place with £985,027.
Shah Rukh Khan's "Pathaan," from Yash Raj Films, dropped from second to fourth place last week with £701,103, but it still beats every record for an Indian movie in the country. The movie has surpassed Yash Raj Films' "Dhoom 3," which had a lifetime accumulation of £2.7 million in 2013, to become the highest-grossing Indian title of all time in the U.K. and Ireland with a total of £3.3 million after two weekends.
Shah Rukh Khan currently has six films among the top 15 all-time highest-grossing Indian films in the United Kingdom, including "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham," which was released by Yash Raj Films in December 2001 and became the first Indian film to earn over £2 million.
The show "Pathaan" has established itself as a crowd darling. Since its Jan. 25 release, "Pathaan," the newest entry in Aditya Chopra's spy series, has seen tremendous audience demand, according to Eduardo Leal, group regional head of content at Vue International. The movie not only broke box office records in its native market of India, but it also broke records elsewhere, putting a South Asian movie in the UK with the biggest opening week ever. "Pathaan," which has already generated over £2 million in income, is already nearly twice as well-liked as the next two best-performing South Asian movies, "Dhoom 3" and "My name is Khan."
We at Vue are committed to presenting a variety of material that appeals to a wide range of demographics and interests. Due to our investments in AI and technology, we can offer our clients 50% more options than our rivals by playing more movies like "Pathaan" for longer.
