Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan's
fifth
international
outing
The
Pink
Panther
2
has
also
missed
the
mark.
The
film
opened
to
negative
reviews
and
the
opening
weekend
numbers
in
America
are
disappointing...
Dev
D,
released
on
limited
screens
in
America,
has
failed
as
well...
Luck
By
Chance
remains
on
the
lower
side
in
U.K.
and
U.S.A.
Flop...
Both
Raaz
-
The
Mystery
Continues
and
VICTORY
are
flops
in
U.K...
Chandni
Chowk
To
China
is
a
shocker.
The
film
has
failed
to
cross
the
$
1
million
mark
in
U.S.
and
will
barely
reach
the
half-a-million
mark
[£]
in
U.K...
Slumdog
Millionaire
continues
to
have
a
dream
run
in
U.S.
[$
77
million],
U.K.
[£
16.8
million]
and
Australia
[Aus.
$
10
million].
Fabulous!
