Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office: Aamir Khan starrer tops 250cr worldwide but misfires overseas
SZP falls short of Laal Singh Chaddha Overseas
To put things in perspective, the overseas biz of Sitaare Zameen Par is still short of Laal Singh Chaddha, which was a DISASTER. By the end of its run, it will probably get even with it but that is despite the Middle East business being more than double that of LSC, which implies the rest of the markets have fared significantly worse.
The film had a soft start but showed promise with a big growth on Saturday. At that point, it looked like it might cruise past USD 10 million, possibly even stretching to USD 15 million with strong legs. However, it came back of earth soon after on Sunday and the trend since then has been rather ordinary.
The film has underperformed across the board, but the United States is the biggest letdown. Traditionally, the strongest market for Aamir and generally friendly to films of this genre, the US turnout was tepid, set to close under USD 2 million. The best performer is ironically the Middle East, ironic because generally films like this underperform here. So, just a weird set of performances.
Will China come to the rescue?
Sitaare Zameen Par is expected to release in the East Asian markets later this year, including China. Aamir Khan is the biggest name from Indian cinema in China, who has delivered two mega blockbusters in Dangal and Secret Superstar. How SZP performs in China could change the entire narrative of the film; however, that market is struggling lately, so it's unclear how that will go at this moment.
The territorial breakdown for Sitaare Zameen Par overseas box office is as follows:

Model and influencer San Rachel dies by suicide in Puducherry; tahsildar-level inquiry ordered
PUDUCHERRY: San Rachel, a 26-year-old popular model and social media influencer from Puducherry, died by suicide on Saturday night (July 13) at JIPMER, weeks after allegedly consuming an overdose of blood pressure pills. The tragic incident has sent shockwaves through the fashion and influencer community, where she was known for her bold stance against colourism and her outspoken advocacy for inclusivity in the beauty industry. Born as Sankarapriya, San Rachel had married fashion designer Satya in June 2024. According to police sources, she was reportedly under severe financial and personal stress over the past few months. Investigators revealed that she had consumed around 50 BP tablets during a visit to her father's house in Karamanikuppam on June 5. Though initially rushed to government general hospital, she left after two days without completing treatment. Her condition deteriorated over the following days, prompting her husband to admit her at a private hospital in Moolakulam. After several days of treatment , she was finally taken to JIPMER, where she succumbed on Saturday night. Police recovered four suicide notes addressed to her father, husband, and mother-in-law. In these, San Rachel reportedly absolved her family members of any blame. She apologized for withholding the truth about financial matters, particularly a Rs 6 lakh loan she had taken through the wife of her husband's friend to cover wedding expenses—without informing her husband, who believed the costs were borne by her father. In her letter to her father, D. Gandhi, San Rachel had urged him to sell his land and repay the loan to a person referred to as 'Venkat Anna.' She had been requesting financial help from him over the past year, but he had expressed his inability due to other family responsibilities.

Jurassic World Rebirth vs Dominion vs Fallen Kingdom Day wise India box office collection showdown
It's been just over 10 days since the release of Jurassic World: Rebirth in India. The Scarlett Johansson film took a reasonably good start of Rs 10 crore gross without premieres, given how it didn't get adequate showcasing. After healthy growth over the weekend, the movie didn't trend as well over the weekdays as it should have. With Superman entering the marketplace and with F1 already going strong, it seemed as though the dinosaur film would bow down to its competition. Jurassic World: Rebirth Is A Hit In India, Courtesy Its Exemplary 2nd Weekend Trend It's then that Jurassic World: Rebirth really showed its brute force. After a solid 2nd Friday hold, it grew by over 150 percent, for a franchise best Rs 8.25 crore gross. The growth on Sunday was muted but that's because Saturday had already overperforming. Regardless, it again registered a franchise best second Sunday of Rs 8.75 crore gross. After 10 days, the collections of Rebirth in India stand at Rs 81.30 crore gross. Dominion was at Rs 71.60 crore at this juncture while Fallen Kingdom was at Rs 83.35 crore. Dominion went on to gross Rs 85.50 crore in its full run and Fallen Kingdom ended its run grossing Rs 108.25 crore. Both of the latter films had premieres; something the former didn't. Jurassic World: Rebirth Chases Fallen Kingdom As The 2nd-Highest-Grossing Jurassic World Movie In India Rebirth was already expected to cross Dominion, given its higher collections and superior trend. Now, with a remarkable 2nd weekend trend, it chases Fallen Kingdom to become the second highest grossing Jurassic World film in India, unadjusted for inflation. In terms of ticket receipts, while Rebirth will comfortably sell more tickets than its predicessor Dominion, it shall fall short of Jurassic World, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and obviously the original Jurassic Park film in 1993, that took the world by storm. The uptick in the collections and footfalls of the Jurassic World series in India is a good sign. With better plots and bigger conflicts, it can also get back the loyal audience it had up until 2015. The day-wise collections of Jurassic World: Rebirth, Dominion and Fallen Kingdom are as follows: Day Rebirth Dominion Fallen Kingdom Gross Change Gross Change Gross Change Thu Rs. 4.60 cr.
