According to International tracking service ComScore's global film ranking, Maze Runner: The Death Cure, with $86.1 million in its pocket, emerged as this week's winner followed by Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle with $34.1 million and The Greatest Showman, with $19.6 million, ranked #3. A Variety magazine report stated: "ComScore, however, does not provide global coverage for every film released and excluded "Padmaavat" outside North America. Had it been included, the Indian epic would have jostled with The Greatest Showman, fellow Indian title Secret Superstar and Steven Spielberg's The Post for a leading chart position."

Protests... Disturbances... No screening in few states... Yet, #Padmaavat does EXCELLENT biz in its extended weekend... The film lost out on substantial biz [approx 35 cr / 37 cr], but the SUPERB trending in other circuits helped put up a MAJESTIC total...

"Padmaavat" is Deepika's seventh film to gross over Rs 100 crore while it is Ranveer Singh's (who plays main antagonist Alauddin Khilji) third. Deepika and Ranveer co-starred in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Ram-Leela and Bajirao Mastani before "Padmaavat."

"Padmaavat" is based on Malik Muhammad Jayasi's ballad, which narrates the story of Rani Padmini of Chittor, who performed jauhar when Alauddin Khilji invaded Chittor.
