Drishyam turned in a good opening weekend performance, but as expected, it wasn’t enough to overtake Bajrangi Bhaijaan. From July 31-August 2, 2015,the Ajay Devgn-starrer Drishyam earned $268,634 from 97 theaters ($2,767 average) in the US and Canada.
Bajrangi Bhaijaan continued to rule the North American box office in its third weekend of release. It took in another $681,006 from 267 theaters ($2,551 average), bringing its total to $6,931,478.
The Hindi-dubbed version of Baahubali also performed well, earning $107,702 from 41 theaters ($2,627 average). In two weeks, the Hindi version has earned $388,650. [Note: Bollywood Hungama doesn’t have figures for either the Telugu or Tamil versions of Baahubali from this past weekend. The film’s total North American earnings from all versions are somewhere around $8 million.]

Hey,
Bahubali’s life time collection in the US will be more than the lifetime of Bajrangi?
Bahubali probably has too much of a lead for Bajrangi Bhaijaan to overcome, especially as business slows down for both of them. Too bad that the numbers for all versions of Baahubali weren’t available this week.
