Aamir Khan starrer PK started off on a good note. The film which released on a normal Friday made a business of 26.63 crores which is slightly higher than 2014′s Highest Grosser – Salman Khan’s Kick which opened with 26 crores at the domestic box office.

PK having opened with good footfalls at the multiplexes scored higher over Kick thanks to higher ticket rates too. PK now holds the record of Highest Non-Holiday Opener of 2014 and 2nd Highest Non-Holiday Opener after Dhoom 3.
