On 29 prints, the big Indian Films-Studio 18 Eid release is said to have opened to an unprecedented AED 450,000 (approx) - implying that in just one day flat, 'Welcome' has done close to half the lifetime gross of a successful Akshay comedy in the UAE.
If the initial reports are anything to go by, the audience has most certainly "welcomed" the festive season with 'Welcome'.
Following the smashing opening of Welcome in the UAE, comes more good news from the UK and Ireland box-office.
Over its limited previews on Wednesday and Thursday, 'Welcome' piped competition to collect £70,000 (approx), the highest ever preview gross for an Akshay title in the UK.
'Welcome' is an Indian Films-Studio 18 release worldwide.
