Vijay Deverakonda’s latest venture, Kingdom, sustained its consistent box office run on Day 3. Following a low-key opening on Thursday and reasonable growth on Friday, the movie recorded increased growth on Saturday, collecting strong numbers in urban areas. Initial estimates indicate that the Kingdom raked in ₹11.6 crore on the first Saturday, crossing its total domestic collection to almost ₹30 crore.
Audience reaction is robust.
The movie is receiving a good response from mass circuits and youth audiences, mainly in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Word-of-mouth has started doing the rounds, more so in Tier-2 cities where single screens are witnessing near-full occupancies over the weekend. Despite mixed reviews from critics, fans have appreciated Deverakonda’s high-intensity performance and the action-oriented plot.
Close to Liger’s record
Kingdom is now close to crossing the Liger, Deverakonda’s last outing’s domestic lifetime collection. Liger has collected a domestic total of approximately ₹34 crore, and Sunday’s collections are likely to be higher. Kingdom may surpass that figure by the end of its first weekend. For the actor, it would be a welcome comeback after Liger’s lackluster outing.
Pan-India reach still growing
Though the movie has been working uniformly in the southern belt, the Hindi version has seen a relatively lukewarm pick-up. But with more promotions and word-of-mouth slowly picking up in the northern states, the Kingdom can look to witness better traction in the next few days. The producers are keeping their fingers crossed that the Sunday collections and holiday season ahead will drive collections across markets.
Vijay Deverakonda’s comeback moment?
For Vijay Deverakonda, Kingdom is looking like it could be a turning point after a rocky ride at the box office. His loyal fan base has reacted well, and the weekend figures are providing industry commentators with cause for optimism. With good weekday business, the film could even look towards the ₹50 crore mark locally by the end of its first week.
All eyes on Sunday surge
As the weekend comes to a close, the Sunday collection will be pivotal in deciding if Kingdom can keep up the pace and become a genuine commercial hit. With no other big-ticket competition in the theaters, the film has an open runway to establish itself in the days ahead.
