Delhi Belly has done well at the U.S. box office.
Of course, the 4-day Independence Day weekend must have helped draw in the crowds.
Plus, the movie surely had decent word of mouth despite its crass, toilet humor (the title of the movie says it all).
For the July 1-4, 2011 opening weekend, Delhi Belly collected $701,824 with an average gross of $7,975.
Hey, those are respectable numbers considering the movie featured lesser known actors. Aamir Khan’s nephew Imran Khan was the only recognizable name, the rest including his two roommates and the two girls could well have come from Timbuktu.
Here’s how Delhi Belly fared at the U.S. box office compared to some prominent Bollywood movies:

OMG, Bbuddah box office numbers are terrible if you go by the above numbers (boxofficemojo does not have the U.S. numbers for Bbuddah, not sure where Bollywood Hungama got their figures from).
Big B is going the Small B way as far as Box Office collections.

followingfailuring in their children’s footsteps! 😉It doesnt stand a chance. They should have released it next week with the desi soft porn movie Murder 2.

We doubt Murder 2 will go anywhere either.
Delhi Belly still has legs, thanks to strong word of mouth
Yes, Murder 2 will get effected by DB. It is still going strong at Indian BO also. Infact, DB’s Sunday collection (clost to Rs 80-90 million) will most probably be bigger than whole first week collection of Buddah unless miracle happens.
