Wow, really? Out of the two movies coming out here on Wednesday, Beast looks waaaaay busier than KGF.

The irony of KGF2 is that it's almost impossible to find it playing in Kannada outside Karnataka despite that being the original language of the movie.

Limited market for Kannada films outside India. Telugu will be selling better than Kannada.

 

Hindi will pick later in weekend.

General question how did Indian cinema/box office handel Covid? Has it recovered to pre-Covid levels already or is it still affected in a small/big way?

It's pretty much back to pre-Covid levels. India's attitude to Covid has been one of "no one died during Omicron and vaccination is good, so keep stuff open"

There is an indirect affect that people are used to watch small movies at home now. So that will take some time to freeze out.

Wikipedia listed RRR as the 2nd highest grossing film in India, breaking 800 crore. Is it still possible for the film to break 1000 with KGF2 coming in so strong? Crazy to see baahubali 2 got 1429 crore. 

[charlie Jatinder]

I can see KGF 2 do ₹500cr+ 4 days. Def ₹1000cr+ is possible.

[Torontofan]

KGF is like the most watched trailer of all time on youtube I think it beat infity war 

[Issac Newton]

Beast OD : ₹445Cr /$58.4M

 

I attempted to see how figures are reported here 🥲

Spoiler

 

[SchumacherFTW]

Holy crap, I gotta check this out! 

[charlie Jatinder]

That's a joke tweet.

Beast ₹61cr OD in India. #8 of all time. 

[Menor the Destroyer]

What's the number for KGF2? Says in the title it broke the pan-India record but I don't see any number posted. 

[charlie Jatinder]

KGF 2 breaks OD record. ₹140-145cr opening day depending on where actuals land.

RRR OD - ₹134cr (India)

KGF 2 OD : ₹134.5Cr (India)

 

 

[charlie Jatinder]

LOL. Now we have 3 ₹133-134cr films.

 

My estimates are ₹132-134cr approx.

 

[Cooper Legion]

That's ridiculous. Imagine if next two US biggie ODs were 156M each
