EK VILLAIN RETURNS has surprisingly done very well Overseas as it clocked up around $325k plus on its first day including some business in Gulf from Thursday where it released early although the weekend there has now shifted to Fri to Sunday unlike before when it was Thursday to Saturday.

Obviously, these are not huge numbers but they are very good for this film as nothing much was expected from Overseas. In United Kingdom, it collected £40k on day one which was better than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 2 at £37k and almost as good as JUGJUGG JEEYO at £48k. 

There were also good numbers coming for the film in the rest of the circuits as well and it remains to be seen where it goes but if this film got $1 million in overseas it would have been good but now that looks easily achievable in under a week.

The approx business from the major markets is as follows.

United Kingdom - £40k

US / Canada - $95k

Gulf - $120k (Thursday release)

Australia - A$28k

--------------------------------

EK VILLAIN RETURNS has emerged a huge HIT in UK as it sustains supremely well on Monday. The weekend collections were a bit of a shocker as the film collected around £130k. Monday is pretty crazy as the film picked up over £30k despite it not being a holiday.

The drop on Monday is under 25% and this is a working day and it takes the film to £160k in four days. The week is looking to be comfortably over £200k and maybe even £225k. The four days ensure the film is a HIT in United Kingdom and it is going to sustain very well and maybe even beat bigger films like BHOOL BHULAIYAA 2 and JUGJUGG JEEYO.

The success is hard to explain and it maybe the music really caught on in UK as this tends to do the trick in the market especially if its romantic tunes.

The business of EK VILLAIN RETURNS till date in UK is as follows.

Friday - £39,000

Saturday - £44,000

Sunday - £45,000

Monday - £31,000
