'Kingdom' Loses Momentum After Stellar Opening for Vijay Deverakonda
5 Aug
Summary
- 'Kingdom' had a strong opening but is now seeing a decline in box office collections
- The film's overall Telugu occupancy dropped to 16.38% on August 4
- 'Kingdom' has collected an estimated ₹43.15 crore in India after five days
Vijay Deverakonda's latest action-packed drama, 'Kingdom,' had an amazing opening at the box office, but it appears to be losing some of its early momentum. Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, the film opened to mostly positive reviews and registered one of the strongest openings of Vijay's career.
However, as the weekdays set in, the film's collection has started declining. According to early estimates, 'Kingdom' earned around ₹2.25 crore net on its fifth day (Monday), across all languages in India. This brings the film's total Indian net collection to an estimated ₹43.15 crore after five days. While the opening weekend numbers were impressive, with Day 1 minting over ₹18 crore, the subsequent days saw a gradual decline.
The makers of the film have shared that it has collected over ₹82 crore worldwide. But the decline in theatre occupancy, particularly in the Telugu states, suggests a common weekday slump. On August 4, the film registered an overall Telugu occupancy of just 16.38%, with morning shows at 13.67%, afternoon shows at 17.69%, evening shows at 15.71%, and night shows at 18.44%. The performance in Tamil Nadu has also been relatively modest, with an overall occupancy of 11.39% on Monday.
