Bodyguard collects $1.4 million in US Box Office

Bollywood movie Bodyguard, which features Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor in the leads, has smashed all the records at the collection centres in North America in the first week of its release. According to its promoters in the US, the romantic-action film has collected $1.4 million in the US Box Office.

Bodyguard was released in 88 cinema halls across US and Canada on Wednesday. The movie has earned USD 1,361,790 in first five days (Wednesday-Monday). The per-theater average of the film is $11,945. Its promoters say that the Salman-Kareena starrer is expected to break the USD 2 million barrier in its second week.

However, Bodyguard has already surpassed the entire gross of Salman's previous release like Dabangg. The film has beaten the combined totals for his films Ready and Wanted in less than one week. The movie is sure to set a new bench mark in the US Box Office in just two weeks.
