In its first week, ‘Fighter’ performed well in the overseas market, contributing to an impressive overall collection of an estimated $5 million. The film made a powerful debut at the US box office, raking in $3.75 million during its opening weekend, securing the sixth position among the highest earners of the weekend.
As per reports, ‘Fighter’ surpassing the $5 million mark established a new record as Hrithik’s top-grossing movie in the United States. This achievement dethrones the previous record held by the 2019 film ‘WAR,’ which accumulated a lifetime box office collection of $4.65 million, as reported by Boxoffice Mojo.Internationally, ‘Fighter’ continued its winning streak, adding an extra $725k to its earnings. The film’s global total now stands at an impressive $7.8 million, according to boxofficeindia.com. While the film experiences an upward trajectory in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, reports indicate a decline in collections in the United Kingdom.
Maintaining its current trend, industry experts predict ‘Fighter’ could conclude its international run with collections surpassing $12 million. This achievement is noteworthy, especially considering the film missed a release in Gulf countries, a crucial market for Indian films. Achieving this milestone would place ‘Fighter’ in a league with
Shah Rukh Khan‘s ‘Dunki,’ which garnered approximately $21 million, benefitting from a wide Gulf release and an extended holiday season without competition from Hollywood releases.
However, the film’s success on the international front hinges on its performance in domestic markets. Currently, ‘Fighter’ has amassed a total collection of Rs 140.53 crore at the Indian box office.
