The stories behind the numbers
A rare second-weekend rise
You Can See Everything earned more in its second weekend ($19.5m) than in its first ($15.6m), a sign of strong word of mouth that is unusual in today’s front-loaded market.
Street Fighter’s steep drop
The video-game adaptation fell from $30.8m to $8.6m, a drop of about 72%, suggesting fans rushed out on opening weekend.
Long-running hits
Resident Evil has passed $153m domestically after 38 days, and Verity has reached $71.5m.
South Asian titles abroad
The Indian Tamil action film Jailer 2 entered the North American top 10 in mid-October, a reminder of the overseas market for South Asian cinema. Pakistani releases have also found audiences abroad, particularly in the Gulf, the UK and North America.
Watching in Pakistan
Major Hollywood releases usually reach Pakistani cinemas within days of their US debut, subject to censor board approval. Check local listings for dates.
