Madras
Cafe,
which

like
USA,
UAE,
Australia
and
Srilanka,
has
done
excellent
collection
at
the
Overseas
Box
Office
in
the
first
weekend.
Its
business
seems
to
be
far
better
than
that
of
John
Abraham's
Force,
which
failed
to
cross
Rs
2
crore
mark
in
its
opening
weekend.
But
it
has
failed
to
push
down
Chennai
Express
from
the
top
of
international
business
chart.
The
John
Abraham
and
Nargis
Fakhri
starrer
has

$2,45,056
(Rs
1.58
crores)
from
50
screens
at
the
USA
Box
Office
in
the
first
weekend.
But
due
to
a
small
screen
count,
Madras
Cafe
failed
to
overtake
Chennai
Express,
which
has
collected
$3,87,902
from
144
screens
in
the
third
weekend,
taking
its
17-day
American
total
to
Rs
30.14
crores.
Madras
Cafe
has
done
excellent
business
in
UAE
and
GEC.
The
movie
has
collected
Rs
2.11
crores
(AED
12,00,000)
at
the
UAE
Box
Office
in
its
opening
weekend.
It
has
collected
Rs
24.65
lakhs
(A$42,423)
from
10
screens
in
Australia
and
Rs
1.61
lakhs
(LKR
3,31,446)
from
one
screen
in
Srilanka.
The
film
did
not
release
in
other
key
international
markets
like
UK,
New
Zeland
and
Fiji.
John
Abraham's
Force
had
collected
Rs
1.32
crore
at
the
Overseas
Box
Office
in
its
opening
weekend
and
its
breakup
was
Rs
50.13
lakhs
(£65,841)
from
47

in
UK,
Rs
51.73
lakhs
($1,05,000)

and
Rs
1.44
lakhs
(NZ$3,825)
from
2
screens
in
New
Zealand
in
its
opening
weekend.
Now,
Madras
Cafe
has
beaten
this
record
with
its
collection
Rs
4
crores
at
the
international
Box
Office
in
the
first
weekend.
