The Fox Star remake of Tom Cruise's Knight and Day has become the top Hindi movie of the year on the continent, reaching a total gross of $2.56 million.
Fox Star Studios chief Vijay Singh previously told the Financial Express : "There is no other release till Happy New Year and so the winning streak should continue.
"The film has got a great scale to it and outstanding action. We released it outside of India in over 850 theatres, which is the biggest release for any Bollywood film.
"This includes mainstream theatres where Hollywood films are released. Especially in the Middle East, a lot of local Arabs have gone to see the film, which is why there is very strong performance.
"We have opened up new markets where Bollywood has not gone before. For example, we have released the film in Lebanon, Iraq and Burma, where Bollywood films were not officially released."
In its third week at the box office the action romance passed Kick's box office earnings, which reached $2.47 million in North America playing in 100 screens.
However, the worldwide gross puts Bang Bang at $52m next to Kick's $61m.
Last year's biggest Bollywood movie at the US box office, Dhoom 3, finished with around $8m in North America.
