Last
week's
release
Race
2
starring
Saif
Ali
Khan,
John
Abraham
and
Anil
Kapoor
in
leads,
has
crossed
Rs
100
crore
mark
at
the
worldwide
Box
Office.
The
Abbas-Mastan-directed
action
thriller
was
expected
to
surpass
this
benchmark
in
the
first
week
of
its
release.
But
it
has
taken
a
day
extra
and
successfully
achieved
this
magic
figure
on
its
second
Friday
at
the
global
business
centres.
Race

debuted
with
superb
response
across
the
globe.
The
action
thriller
collected
Rs
51.35
crores
nett
in
India
and
Rs
17.26
crores

($

USA,
UK,
UAE,
Australia
and
New
Zealand,
taking
its
worldwide

to
Rs
68.61
in
the
first
weekend.
It
needed
Rs
31.4
crores
to
cross
Rs
100
crore
mark.
Trade
analyst
had
felt
that
even
if
its
business
dropped
by
50%
on
the
weekdays,
the
film
would
easily
surpass
this
mark
in
the
first
week.
But
Race
2
witnessed
55%
to
60%
decrease
in
the
collection
at
the
worldwide
Box
Office
on
the
weekdays,
thereby
proving
trade
experts'
predictions
false.
The
movie
collected
Rs
24.75
crores
nett
at
Indian
Box
Office
and
Rs
5.35
crore
at
the
international
Box
Office
on
the
weekdays,
taking
its
first
week
global
total
to
Rs
98.71
crores
nett.
Race
2
collected
a
total
of
Rs
76.10
crores
nett
in
India
and
Rs
22.61
crores
nett
($
4.25
million)
in
the
international
market
in
the
first
week.
However,
the
film
collected
Rs
3.5
crores
at
the
Indian
Box
Office,
taking
its
global
collection
beyond
Rs
100
crores
nett.
Its
