Bodyguard has grossed a huge $5.25 million (24 croore) in the International markets in its extended weekend which was six days at places. The film was released on 320 prints. This figure is similar to the record opening of My Name Is Khan but that film opened on a regular three day weekend. The three day weekend of Bodyguard is around $3.50 million and even that is a massive opening. The figures from major markets are as follows.

United Kingdom -£840,000 (six days)

North America - $1,360,000 (four days)

UAE - $1,700,000 (six days)

Australia - $250,000 (five days)

The film should cross the $7 million business of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara which is the biggest grosser of the year in Overseas till date. In UAE it is already the biggest grosser of the year and is likely to be third biggest grosser ever in that market.
