Punjabi movie "Angrej" continues to keep cash registers ringing in key international markets, doing decent business at the overseas box office in its second weekend.
Despite clashing with big-ticket movies such as "Bajrangi Bhaijaan", "Drishyam" and "Baahubali", "Angrej" opened to a fantastic response in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. The movie grossed approximately $597,405 (Rs 3.82 crore) from 80 screens at the overseas box office in its first weekend.
In its second weekend, "Angrej" clashed with two other big-ticket movies "Srimanthudu" (Telugu) and "Bangistan" (Hindi), yet raked in $4,83,524 (Rs 3.10 crore) from 65 screens in its second weekend.
"Angrej" has grossed about $1,080,929 (Rs 6.93 crore) at the international box office in 10 days. After "Sardaar Ji", the Amrinder Gill starrer has become the second Punjabi movie to surpass the $1- million mark in collections in foreign markets in 2015.
In its second weekend, the Simerjit Singh-directed movie topped the collection charts in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, beating "Srimathudu", "Bangistan", "Bajrangi Bhaijaan", "Drishyam" and "Bahubali".
"Angrej" has broken the collection record of "Sardaar Ji" in the US. But the movie has failed to beat the total overseas business record of the latter, which earned $1,779,788 (₹11.28 crore) at the overseas box office in 10 days.
