KGF- Chapter 2 has been making waves all over the place, as it managed to collect over Rs. 23.50 to 24.50 Crores for only one weekend! Currently ranked in tenth place for collecting over Rs. 300 Crore Rupees, this is surely an immense feat! However, what really caught my attention was how much of a phenomenal success story KGF- Chapter 2 has proved itself to be; being able to thrive even when there are other films competing against it on Weekends while settling at generally lower levels during weekdays.
With Eid arriving in the middle of the third week, there will be little change for the film during this time period as well. This also gives it enough breathing room to challenge or potentially even surpass Dangal’s lifetime earnings (roughly $375 million). With such low costs and high returns, KGF – Chapter 2 can only be considered a huge success story; something almost unheard of. In India alone, it has outperformed those films released down south. And with its worldwide success, the North Indian audience had a significant impact on its profit margins.
Through all these endeavors – costing nothing yet bringing back everything they could- they’ll reach anywhere between $23-$25 million over the weekdays before putting up an aggregate two weeks’ earnings at around $345 million by then end of next weekend. All that remains is how well it performs during Saturday and Sunday due to Eid holidays which may influence just how high these numbers go for long term projections.
