Sridevi’s MOM was hugely successful among viewers in India and is now taking the China Box Office by storm. Released across 38,500 screens, the film raked in a whopping USD1.64 million on its opening day, which is equivalent to INR11.17 crore, thus surpassing the recent blockbuster Andhadhun, Sultan and Hichki. With this growing trend, Zee Studios International promised to set new benchmarks again after Secret Superstar and Hindi Medium for Indian cinema in the Chinese subcontinent.
Commenting on the opening numbers, Vibha Chopra, Head-Global Syndication & International Film Distribution, ZEE Entertainment, shared, “We were confident that the film will be piqued well in China but these numbers have taken us by a huge surprise, and left us elated. We are now optimistic of a record-breaking weekend. The legendary stature of Sridevi is unmatched and taking her film to as many countries and people across the world, is our small way of showing our deepest gratitude to the filmmakers to trust it with taking the film far and wide.”
