Akshay Kumar’s crap show Singh is Kinng has collapsed at the U.S. box office in the second weekend (August 15-17, 2008).
Compared to this Akshay Kumar fella, Shahrukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan managed to do a far better job with Om Shanti Om and Jodhaa Akbar respectively in the second weekend at the U.S. box office.
For the August 15-17 weekend, Singh is Kinng grossed $348,577 from 110 theaters with an average gross of $3,168.
Take a look at how some prominent Bollywood films fared in the second weekend at the U.S. box office:
We are not surprised by the dramatic collapse in Singh is Kinng’s box office collections.
Here’s a brief preview of the kind of total garbage you can expect from this piece of trash Singh is Kinng:
1. What happens when a paralytic guy is pushed down the staircase? He gets cured and stands up.
2. Scatalogical crap like one fellow (Akshay Kumar) pissing on another man’s face (Akshay Kumar just loves this kind of crap because even in his previous film Heyy Babyy - an ugly copy of Three Men and a Baby - we literally had shit flying about).
3. Infantile humor like a man (Akshay Kumar again) running his crotch into a table fan.
4. The Australian police give the two yokels Akshay Kumar and Om Puri a ride on their boat to a dreaded gangster’s mansion.
Such is the nonsense you can expect from this pathetic piece of shit a.k.a. Singh is Kinng. Watch this garbage at the peril of losing your sanity.
Hmm!But the situation seems to be different in India though.It’s already considered as a blockbuster. Pretty undeserving!
It has made a total of 1,907,733 million so far and is SUPERHIT in US! and yes sganeshkumar1989, its a blockbuster in India.
From US Boxoffice.

We do NOT believe that SIK is a superhit in the U.S. Supershit definitely but not superhit.
Actually, Singh is Kinng has NOT done that well in the U.S. compared to other big movies like Om Shanti Om or Jodhaa Akbar.
1. Here are the Comparative Figures:
At the end of the second weekend, Om Shanti Om did about $2.9 million in the U.S.
At the end of the second weekend, Jodhaa Akbar did $2.51 million in the U.S.
At the end of the second weekend, SIK did only $1.9 million in the U.S.
The overall lower collection for SIK suggests that a) Akshay Kumar is NOT that big a draw like SRK or Hrithik and b) SIK has not been as popular with the audience as the two other movies cited above.
2. Plus in the second weekend, Singh is Kinng has collapsed dramatically (down 70%) compared to Om Shanti Om (down 57%) or Jodhaa Akbar (down just 46%). For details, please see: Singh is Kinng Collapses in U.S.; Down 70% and Singh is Kinng Box Office - Not So Great
Agreed that SIK isn’t going to surpass Om Shanti Om and Jodha Akbar at the box office (In US) but it would close its run at the box office around 2.5 million in US. And any Indian movie that has made over a $1.0 million dollar is considered Superhit or in your words SuperShit. It wouldn’t be a blockbuster or blockshitter but it is Superhit/SuperShit right now
By the way I heard Mumbai Meri Jaan sounds like an interesting movie for 2-5% intelligent Indian audiences. I would like to see your review on it as I expect the movie is good.

Mumbai Meri Jaan is having a very limited release on the East coast (just one theatre in NYC?). So we may not be able to see it.
Madhavan & Soha Ali Khan are among the better Bollywood actors.
No “Rock On”, “Dhaam Dhoom” reviews yet? Jayam Kondan was not released in the US, was it?

Scared of the Labor Day traffic on the highway…so didn’t venture out. Watched 60% of a Chinese movie Exiled (nothing great) on Netflix-Roku last night.
But for the most part the Chinese/Korean actors are far superior to our Bollywood/Kollywood stars. Most Indian movies fail at the very basic level - acting.
No, Jayam Kondan was not released on the East Coast (to the best of our knowledge). Both Dhaam Dhoom & Jayam Kondan have not received good reviews. Was hopeful of Jayam Kondam because Bhavana is an OK actress but it seems she does’t have that big a role in the movie.
Will publish a few short posts over the weekend and watch some movies from our in-house collection.
