Pathaan is lighting up the box office in circuits which were considered DEAD. The film opened in United Kingdom to a huge response on Wednesday and was doing unbelievable business but what happened on Saturday just leaves you gobsmacked as the film collects £550k and this could edge up as final numbers get updated.

This is a market driven by loyalty cards and is down in the dumps as films fail to match the business that was happenning 15 years ago.  This Saturday number of Pathaan can only be put into perspective with lifetime business of other films. KGF2 (hindi) was £539k, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 was £420k. Sooryavashi was £584k and the biggest of the lot Brahmastra was £1038k which will be around 3 days of Pathaan.

The numbers coming of United Kingdom are such that only man give and that is Shahrukh Khan, of course with good film but no other actor can even dream of such numbers in United Kingdom.  The Saturday number is simply a WTF number and there are probably more ridiculously high numbers to come. The apprx numbers from United Kingdom are as follows and again its HISTORY in the making. These words look up popping up all over the website with Pathaan.

Wednesday - £330,000

Thursday - £240,000

Thursday - £350,000

Friday - £550,000

TOTAL - £1,470,000 (this number will get higher as no doubt some cinemas will be missing from the numbers available yet)
