'Bodyguard' makes $1.4 million in North America

The Bollywood blockbuster starring Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor has proved to be worth the wait.

The action-romance film has took off with a blast during it's first week in North America, taking in a whopping $1.4 million over its six-day debut period.

In less than one week, the Reliance Entertainment release has already surpassed the entire lifetime gross of lead actor, Salman's recent blockbuster hit 'Dabangg' and has beaten the combined totals for his films 'Ready' and 'Wanted'.

Playing in 88 theatres across the US and Canada, the weekend collection for 'Bodyguard' included $863,531 over the Friday-to-Sunday period and $1,051,132 across the Friday-to-Monday Labour Day holiday period.

Since opening on Aug 31st, the movie has collected $1,361,790 and is expected to break the $2 million barrier in its second week.

The film's per-theatre average of $11,945 was by far the highest for any film in the North American Top 20 over the weekend.

That's pretty impressive i'd say! With all the positive reviews of the movie i can see it reaching $2 million in its second week. If you've seen the movie leave your comments below and tell us what you think of it.
