3 Idiots on a record-breaking spree across the world

As expected Rajkumar Hirani’s 3 Idiots has opened to mind-boggling collections, something never seen before. 3 Idiots released with maximum number of prints, highest ever for a Hindi Film. In India 1550 prints in over 1760 screens and overseas 342 prints in over 366 screens; this is the widest release any Hindi film has had in India and overseas. The film was released in over 40 countries.

The paid previews of 3 Idiots itself garnered over Rs 9 crs gross worldwide; this is above Ghajini’s paid previews collection of Rs 7 crs gross worldwide.

3 Idiots weekend collection is Rs 93 crs gross worldwide till Sunday night which is 30 % percent more than Ghajini ’s collection.

Also the collection figures pouring in from the USA and Canada shows the biggest opening weekend ever for a Hindi film.

In UK (not considered as Aamir Khan’s market), the film has surpassed all films and reached just below Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna , an all time hit; that too during Christmas, when all theatres shut down and the business has only been for two days.
