Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif’s movie, Tiger 3, premiered in Japan yesterday, sparking excitement among fans due to the popularity of the Tiger franchise and Salman’s widespread fan base in the country.
The film’s performance at the Japanese box office was highly anticipated, particularly given its competition with other Bollywood hits like Aamir Khan’s Dangal and Ranbir Kapoor’s Brahmastra.

Salman Khan’s previous film, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, achieved significant success in Japan, further boosting his popularity there. Ahead of the release of Tiger 3, Japanese fans actively shared images of Salman from Bajrangi Bhaijaan on social media, indicating a strong interest in the Spy Universe film. The film’s opening day admissions have now validated this surge in interest.
Tiger 3 had a promising start in Japan, attracting 1.30K viewers on its opening day. This exceeded the first-day attendance of other Bollywood hits like Dangal (1.26K), KGF Chapter 1-KGF Chapter 2 (1.09K), and Brahmastra (1.01K). The movie, starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, secured the 6th position among the top opening-day performers in Japan.
