Fox Star Studios India's PREDATORS starring Adrien Brody has grossed Rs 5.3 crores over its opening weekend, racing far ahead of DESPICABLE ME that released on the same day. In fact, PREDATORS opening is much better than the opening of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE which was released last week.
With its sophisticated special effects and thrilling action sequences, the film has already outperformed the lifetime collections of its predecessors including the PREDATOR & ALIEN VS. PREDATOR series.
Produced by Robert Rodriguez, PREDATORS is also a hit with the vernacular audiences - with the film's Hindi, Tamil & Telugu versions running to packed houses. In fact, the Tamil & Telugu versions have got one of the best openings for a Hollywood film so far in 2010, leading ahead of films like INCEPTION, SALT, IRON MAN 2 etc. In single screens around the country, the movie's performance is much better than the Hindi release of the week AISHA.
The current success of PREDATORS marks a hat trick of Hit films for Fox Star Studios India within 2 months with the studio's previous 2 releases THE A-TEAM (11 Crores) and KNIGHT AND DAY (16 Crores). It's the first time in the history of 20th Century Fox that the Indian market has featured in the top 10 International markets in the World, and with PREDATORS, it's 3 in a row for Fox Star.
Mr. Vijay Singh, CEO, Fox Star Studios India comments, "THE PREDATORS have once again thrilled audiences and the response to the Hindi, Tamil & Telugu versions is exceptionally good. We thank the audiences and our partners for their support and with important releases like WALL STREET 2 and NARNIA 3 in the pipeline, we look forward to further strengthening our No.1 position at the Indian Box Office."
