Business is scary at the overseas market
Both 13B and Dhoondte Reh Jaoge have performed poorly in their debut weekend in America. Even the Tamil version of 13B is weak... Delhi 6 is a major setback. The film has grossed disappointing figures in both America and U.K.... The only success story is, of course, Slumdog Millionaire, which has emerged one of the biggest blockbusters in international markets.
Weekend: March 6 - 8, 2009.
