The excitement for Nag Ashwin’s epic, Kalki 2898 AD, is soaring as its June 27 release date approaches. Advance bookings are skyrocketing. Kalki is the first Indian film to be shown on all 210 IMAX screens and it will be available in 2D and 3D in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. According to Sacnilk, Prabhas’ Kalki 2898 AD might become the third Indian film, after RRR and Baahubali 2, to open with 200 crores worldwide on June 27.
Sacnilk posted, “Kalki 2898 AD is expected to take the opening of Rs 120-140 crore gross in India. In Telugu states (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana), the movie is expected to open in the range of Rs 90-100 crore. In North India, it is expected to take an opening of around ₹20 crore while Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala are likely to give a Rs 15+ crore start to the movie.”
A Nuvama report suggests Kalki 2898 AD may earn over Rs 100 crore on its opening day in India, with strong ticket sales indicating huge demands. Within the first hour on Bookmyshow, over 36,000 tickets were sold, and all Telangana shows sold out. Across India, more than two lakh tickets have been booked for day one, and this number could double with additional multiplex bookings yet to open. Prathyangira Cinemas in North America posted on social media that they sold 125,000 tickets, making over 2.7 million dollars. “#Kalki2898AD North America Premieres Pre-sales strikes US $2.7 Million+ and counting. Already crossed #SalaarCeaseFire premiere numbers with 2 days to spare. We’re going to see some shattering numbers in the last 2 days,” they wrote.
Meanwhile, according to various reports, the film has already earned Rs 375 crore from selling its rights to different OTT platforms. Netflix has reportedly signed a deal worth Rs 200 crore for the Hindi version of the film, while on the other hand, Amazon Prime Video has reportedly acquired the rights to the Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam versions in a deal worth around Rs 175 crore.
