Aamir Khan’s Dangal has gone ahead to make and break several records at the world box-office. The film is still going strong at the Chinese box-office, reportedly, making Rs 2.5 crore ($390,000). With it, the film has garnered a whopping Rs 2000 crore at the world box-office.
According to a report in Forbes, the film is looking at surpassing box-office records of several Hollywood films in China.
The Forbes report reads,
It (Dangal) stands alone as the leggiest film in Chinese box-office history with an opening day multiple of 86x. The closest contender to that record is Zootopia—like Dangal, incidentally, a film funded and distributed by Disney—but Dangal left Zootopia in its dust long ago when it surpassed the animated family film’s multiple of 69x.
According to a report in The Indian Express, Dangal has beaten records of films like Captain America: Civil War, xXx: Return Of Xander Cage, Transformers: Dark Of The Moon, The Jungle Book, Kung Fu Panda 3 etc and is looking to join the likes of blockbuster Avatar and Chris Pratt’s Jurassic World respectively at China box-office.
But according to the report, the film’s distribution rights in China expire in a few days, so it may not surpass the box-office records of Avatar and Jurassic World.
Here’s all that the Aamir Khan film has achieved in China so far:
- The fifth highest-grossing non-English film in history
- Highest-grossing live actions sports movie of 2017
- The biggest non-Hollywood film ever released in China
