The Overseas market has been like the Indian market and not impressive in 2016. Sultan is a blockbuster with close to $25 million and the second highest collection ever in Gulf. It leaves two Salman Khan starrers in that circuit as Bajrangi Bhaijaan is number one. This is a first as never before has Salman Khan had the top two films in any of the three main main markets of UK, US / Canada and Gulf. Fan crossed $10 million and athough the Overseas business is better than India comparatively, its below the mark for a Shahrukh Khan starrer.  

Kapoor & Sons was a super hit film in Overseas as it did very well in US / Canada and other markets. It found appreciation in most Overseas markets while India was limited to four cities and then a poor television performance. The other hits were the three Akshay Kumar starrers and Neerja. The top ten films grossers Overseas in 2016 are as follows.

1. Sultan  - $24.30 million

2. Fan - $10.22 million

3. Kapoor & Sons - $7.07 million

4. Housefull 3 -  $6.87 million

5. Airlift - $6.51 million

6. Rustom - $5.5 million (17 days)

7. Mohenjo Daro - $4.3 million (17 days)

8. Ki & Ka - $4.2 million

9. Neerja - $4.14 million

10. Dishoom - $3.51 million

The Overseas market will be dependent on Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Dear Zindagi and Dangal for big Overseas returns while Befikre being an Aditya Chopra film shot in Overseas will hold chances though the cast can be a question mark in Overseas markets.
