Provoked
has
overpowered
Shakalaka
Boom
Boom
in
U.K.
Shakalaka
Boom
Boom
was
expected
to
fetch
a
good
start
thanks
to
Suneel
Darshan's
impressive
track
record,
but
the
film
has
underperformed
in
this
territory.
On
the
other
hand,
Provoked
has
two
factors
going
in
its
favor
--
the
film
is
based
on
a
true-life
story
set
in
U.K.
and
also
Aishwarya
Rai's
presence.
The
opening
weekend
collections
of
the
film
are
fairly
impressive.
Amongst holdover titles, Namastey London is rock-steady in U.K., while The Namesake is below average here, if one compares its business in the U.S.
Meanwhile, The Namesake continues to fare extra-ordinarily well in U.S.A. The film has almost touched Rs. 30 crores in 31 days and is still counting. The film opened in Australia last Friday and despite strong oppositions during the Easter weekend [mainly 300], The Namesake has made a mark here.
Also compiled below is a comparative study of Mira Nair's films, including The Namesake, in America.
Weekend: April 6 - 8, 2007.
