Posted by Team Predators on August 10, 2010

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, the film’s opening is much better than the opening of ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ which was released last week.

With its special effects and thrilling action sequences, the film has already outperformed the lifetime collections of its predecessors including the ‘Predator’ and ‘Alien vs. Predator’ series.

The film is also a hit with the audiences in film’s Hindi, Tamil and Telugu versions running to packed houses. In fact, the Tamil and 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’ and others.

In single screens around the country, the movie’s performance is much better than the Hindi release of the week ‘Aisha’.

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.”

After ‘Predators’, Fox Star Studios will continue entertaining audiences with a string of interesting releases like ‘Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps’ on September 24, ‘Unstoppable’ on November 12, ‘The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage Of The DawnTreader’ in 3D on December 10 and ‘Gulliver’s Travels’ also in 3D on December 31.
