Singh is Kinng Collapses in U.S.; Down 70%
Despite all the hype and hoopla about this Akshay Kumar fella becoming the next superstar and dethroning Shahrukh Khan from his high perch, Singh is Kinng has not done that well at the U.S. box office compared to Om Shanti Om (Shahrukh Khan) and Jodhaa Akbar (Hrithik Roshan).
Clearly, Shahrukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan have proved that they are bigger box office draws than this bachcha Akshay Kumar.
Truth be said Singh is King is an infinitely worse movie than Om Shanti Om and Jodhaa Akbar. So we are not surprised at all that the box office reflects the poor quality of this pathetic movie.
Singh is Kinng came in at No-15 with a weekend gross of $950,000.
The crappy Singh is Kinng, which released in 109 theatres, had an average gross of $8,715.Â
Here’s how Singh is Kinng fared at the U.S. box office compared to other prominent Bollywood movies:
Hey, Singh is Kinng’s average gross in the first weekend was lower than even Ram Gopal Varma’s nightmare Sarkar Raj.
As SearchIndia.com wrote in the Singh is Kinng review:
Like Attila the Hun, the mad doctor of Auschwitz Josef Mengele and Ivan the Terrible, Akshay Kumar and his fellow bozos in Singh is Kinng have unleashed a horror show that has few parallels except with the awfully sordid.
If the first weekend box office numbers are anything to go by, Shahrukh Khan need have no fear that this Akshay Kumar fella will dethrone him any time soon.

Why are you talking only about US, which is very small business, why don’t you talk about worldwide release, which SIK has smashed and OSO is far behind. All over gross for first weekend for OSO was 22 cr. SIK has BEATEN IT AT 29 Cr…A HUGE MARGIN.
Straight from Box Office India:
Singh Is King grossed 59.50 crore worldwide over its first three days. This is a new worldwide record smashing the 50 crore worldwide total set in November 2007 by Om Shanti Om.
SRK fans getting desperate now so they are LYING and making up stories. The rest of your website is also fake. GO TO [deleted] AND FIND OUT HOW SIK HAS MADE A STORM ALL OVER THE WORLD. Amazing job, Akki…Singh is Kinng is going to be all-time grosser ever in Bollywood.
SIK IS BREAKING ALL RECORDS.

F*&% Off, scumbag. You want to post comments here, be civil.
2. You write above: Why are you talking only about US, which is very small business, .
Since SearchIndia.com is based in the U.S., we focus on the U.S. market. We think the U.S. market for Bollywood movies is a microcosm of the global market for Bollywood movies. Our hypothesis is that the trend-line for box office response to Bollywood movies is similar everywhere – U.S., India or Australia
2. why don’t you talk about worldwide release, which SIK has smashed and OSO is far behind. All over gross for first weekend for OSO was 22 cr. SIK has BEATEN IT AT 29 Cr…
What is the authentic source for your data?
I have found a new way to waste my time ever since Dasavatharam was released.. and it is addictive.. scouring the box office reports.
SIK almost toppled OSO in UK

SIK has had a great opening according to http://entertainment.oneindia.in/bollywood/box-office/2008/singh-is-kinng-thunderstorm-110808.html.. but not sure if will remain strong enough. What will Dilip have to say on this. I think he is an SRK fan..
I am wondering if these actors are using some foul means (like illegal muscle enhancers on top of the strict exercise regimen) to get the six pack. SRK looked jaded in OSO.. or maybe he is just too old. Surya also seems to have lost some boyishness from his face after the 6pack. Looks like JeyamRavi also joined the gang. Most bizarre was Dhanush’s 6pack in Pollathavan.. how he manages to have muscles in that thin frame is amazing.

1. As we wrote in the above post, OSO is way ahead of SIK in the U.S. Plus, we think the U.S. is a bigger market than UK.
2. You write: SRK looked jaded in OSO.. or maybe he is just too old
Yes, it’s age. He’s in his mid-40s.
3. Regarding the sick-pack opps six-pack, we think the actors are following audience taste here. We guess fans/audience love the rippling muscles, fake or otherwise.
Of course, we have no way of saying if any of them are on chemicals/dope or steroids. Only, the stars’ physiotherapists/trainers would be privy to such info.

Singh is Kinng did worse than Om Shanti Om and Jodhaa Akbar as our chart in the above post makes it clear.
With Bachna Ae Haseeno and God Tussi Great Ho also releasing this week, we won’t be surprised if Singh is Kinng runs into difficulties. After all, Singh is Kinng is a piece of trash.
In any case, Ranbhir Kapoor has proved (in just one film Saawariya) that he’s a far superior actor than Akshay Kumar (veteran of zillion movies).

There is a close similarity between Singh is Kinng & Your head. Both are full of shit.
2. You write above: Singh Is Kinng Is The Biggest Blockbuster, Record Breaking Collections Have Been Made And Has Surpassed All Srk Loser’s Movies
We don’t care whether SIK is the biggest blockbuster or surpasses SRK’s films…the introvertible fact is that Singh is Kinng is a pathetic excuse for entertainment.

You are trashing the comments as though u are the biggest director who has directed and made a number of films block busters… Who are u crap dude ????
Dont ever respond to the viewer’s comments in such an idiotic and rash [Trash] manner. Never. Its a bad way to administer a site like tis. Mind it.
Also we admit SRK as a popular celebrity and that his films make big money. But the facts tell that Sing Is King has overtook SRK fil collections and Akshay atleast by making us laugh in his films is the current SUPERSTAR who has got majority popularity…
If u dont like him admit that. Be sincere. Dont just blah blah here and ther like a crap mad man. ok .[Trash Talk]

Get lost, kiddo. We don’t need advice from dodos.
Looks like you became unhinged after watching Singh is Kinng….we don’t blame ya. After all, the movie is disgustingly bad.
2. You write: Whats ur proof ?
The initial Box Office numbers put out in the U.S. was $950,000, which was subsequently revised to $1.198 million.
3. Akshay Kumar wants to be a superstar. SRK is the superstar. That’s the reality.
I was just browsing around the web and I found your article about Singh is King. Once I read your views on “Singh is King”, I knew you were a muppet!!
I can clearly sense your anger or shall I say jealousy. Akshay is the man. He is the Superstar. He only can rock the world. HE IS THE KING!!! and you know what i think of SRK!!
SRK is pure stingish bovine scatology and all his movies included-even his nonsense ad!!
And please keep all your casuistries for yourself because they are really stupid and that proves how inaniloquent person you are!!
Either you close your fake website or stop watching bollywood movies.
You’re pure muppet!!

Are you sure? After his antics in SIK, we thought Akshay belonged in the simian category.
3. You write above: He is the Superstar.
Yeah, sure. Superstar of chimps.
People stop being jealous…you all “know” the movie is a record breaking, Akshay is now the real king..sorry to see you guys all sad 🙁 but you all gotta live with the truth…sing is kinng rocks wooooohooooo!!!!!
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Wait, the barber (as in SRK’s Billo Barber) is coming and will shave your Akshay joker Kumar bald.
SRK vs Akshay huh? Interesting. Yes SRK is a superstar and Akshay is current superstar but we should wait till SRK’s next movie is released and lets see what the boxoffice response is. If SRK’s movie surpasses Singh is Kinng which broke all the records in India and overseas including Friday’s opening day in US, than SRK is still the reigning King and if not than Akshay can definitely be considered SuperStar above Shahrukh Khan. So SRK fans and AK fans, let not argue right now and wait 🙂

You write above: Singh is Kinng which broke all the records in India and overseas including Friday’s opening day in US,
Singh is Kinng did NOT break opening weekend Bollywood box office records in the U.S. That is a fact NOT an opinion. That’s also perfectly clear in this post with the accompanying table. The second week performance of Singh is Kinng in the U.S. is also inferior to Om Shanti Om and Jodhaa Akbar.
The U.S. box office numbers prove beyond argument that SRK and Hrithik are bigger stars than Akshay.
As for India, since we still do not have reliable box office reporting mechanisms like in the U.S. it’s difficult to distinguish between the truth and mere PR hype. Since we do not see the diaspora in the U.S., UK, Australia, Canada and elsewhere as so markedly different from their counterparts in India, our hypothesis is that Singh is Kinng has not done that well compared to OSO and Jodhaa Akbar. Plus SIK must have been affected to some extent at least by Bachna Ae Haseeno & God Tussi Great Ho. OSO did not have such competition (aside from two duds like Sawaariya & Dhana Dhana Goal) in the following weeks.
SIK was not a great movie but it was entertaining..
It did break most of the records…including OSM’s first week record.
Why Comparing SIK to OSM… It might break Gadar’s record if its still going at same rate….
One way to find out who is bigger star akshay or srk.. to release there big movies on same day… as it happend with gadar and lagaan.. then we will find out
Katrina kaif is too hot…and biphasa bhashu….

Because you compare a sher to a sher not to a chuha (like Abhishek Bachchan)
3. You write: One way to find out who is bigger star akshay or srk.. to release there big movies on same day…
We agree but that seems unlikely now because these days Bollywood producers have turned into cowards.

I said SINGH is KING broke OM SHANTI OM’s opening day (Friday) record not weekend in US. Just a day, Friday. Not weekend. It hasn’t surpassed the net gross of Om Shanti Om yet or that of Dhoom 2 in India. So far SIK has made 72.70 crore in India but yeah it has broken the opening day record and weekend in India and other countries except US. Except US and India, SIK has made more money than OSM and Dhoom 2 in rest of the countries its released in such as Canada (All Time blockbuster) and UK (Just passed OSM and Dhoom 2 last weekend).
