Kingdom First Day Advance Booking: Set for the Biggest Opening at the Worldwide Box Office for Vijay Deverakonda

Mumbai, July 30 - Vijay Deverakonda’s much-awaited spy action thriller Kingdom is heading towards an excellent start at the box office. Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, the film has generated significant excitement across India and overseas, especially after the trailer, which has garnered widespread praise. ## The advance booking of the Kingdom opened a couple of days ago, and the trend has been very good. The opening-day pre-sales (including paid premieres) of the movie are around 17 crores gross worldwide, including approximately 7 crores from overseas markets, which is reportedly the biggest for a non-superstar Telugu film in recent times. ## From surging ticket sales on BookMyShow to record-breaking North American pre-sales, Kingdom is capitalising on its gripping storyline, star power, and wide multi-language release strategy. The USA premiere pre-sales are $485K from around 800 shows, with one of the best occupancies in recent times. ## Kingdom Set To Be Vijay Deverakonda's Biggest Openers ## The final opening day pre-sales of Kingdom finished 17 crores gross, including the premiere. These bookings will be big enough to score the biggest opening for Vijay Deverakonda. The actor's current biggest opener is Kushi, which scored nearly 26 crores gross worldwide. ## Kingdom is expected to open with 30+ crores gross worldwide, and this could go higher if the word of mouth is positive. The movie is sure to rank among the top 5 biggest openings for a Telugu title of the year, and if things go right, it may also finish as the top 3 biggest openers. ## About Kingdom Movie ## Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri and produced by Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under the banners of Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, the film also stars Satyadev and Bhagyashri Borse in prominent roles. The official plot details have been kept under wraps. It is scheduled to release on July 31st in multiple languages. ## Stay tuned...

Vijay Deverakonda's 'Kingdom' Announces A New Release Date; Film To Skip Hindi Release

Hyderabad, July 8 - Telugu heartthrob Vijay Deverakonda's much-awaited action thriller Kingdom, directed by "Jersey" fame Gowtam Tinnanuri, has been confirmed to hit the big screens on July 31st, after getting postponed on multiple occasions. ## The release date announcement of "Kingdom" has ended the wait for the fans, but the announcement comes with a twist. The movie was originally announced to be released in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi (as "Saamraajya"), but in the latest release date announcement, there is no mention of the Hindi version. ## While the clear reason for not releasing the movie in Hindi is not known yet, the reports say that it will be released directly on a streaming platform. Netflix is the streaming partner of the movie, and there was a different deal in place originally. ## However, the multiple delays led to a situation where Netflix asked the makers to release the movie in theatres as soon as possible. It is worth noting that to release a movie in a multiplex in Hindi, the film requires, at least, an 8-week theatrical window, and this seems not to be the case with Kingdom. ## To avoid these challenges, the makers have reportedly skipped theatrical release in Hindi. The film, produced by Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, will release only in Telugu along with the dubbed version of Tamil on July 31st. Bhagyashri Borse features as the female lead alongside Satyadev in the movie, which has music by Anirudh Ravichander. ## ## Stay tuned...

Shahid Kapoor Opens Up On The Box Office Failure of 'Jersey'

Mumbai, June 7 - Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor's last two films have had a complete opposite box office outcomes. While his "Kabir Singh" (2019) became the biggest hit of his career, the recently released "Jersey" turned out to be one of the biggest flops of the actor. ## "Jersey", which is the official remake of the Telugu movie of the same name, was anticipated to become a box office success but it couldn't even be survived two weeks at the ticket window and was wrapped up under 30 crores worldwide. Unlike its box office outcome, the movie got mixed to positive reviews from the audiences, but that couldn't help the movie to make it big at the box office. ## Shahid Kapoor, who had high hopes for this movie that he reportedly reduced his fees to convince the makers to bring it to theaters, has finally opened up on the movie's box office result. While reflecting on the film's performance, Shahid made a valid point that audiences' test is changing and it is the time for the industry to learn from the mistake and make what the public wants. ## "Jersey is close to my heart. Jersey has received a lot of love. But... it's been two years since Covid-19 and we need to understand how the audience feels. It's time for all of us to learn. Jersey will always be close to my heart, it has taught me that anything can happen in life", Shahid was quoted as saying by the news agency PTI.## Going forward, Shahid Kapoor has Ali Abbas Zafar's "Bloody Daddy", scheduled to release later this year. The actor also has Amar Butala's Operation Cactus and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's mythological epic Karna. He is also reportedly in talks for the Chhattrapati Shivaji Maharaj biopic with Ashwin Varde.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, May 25 - The last few weeks have been excellent for the Indian movies on Netflix, and the trend is continuing with the new releases as well. Among the big gainers on the streamer, Alia Bhatt's Gangubai Kathiawadi stands tall and has attracted massive viewership and remained in the top 5 most-watched non-English film for the 4th consecutive week. ## It is a rare feat for a movie to find its place in the top 5 for such a long time, especially when a film completed 8 weeks in theaters with excellent numbers. But Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed is doing this with ease and is the most-watched non-direct OTT Indian movie on Netflix. ## During its 4th week (May 16 - May 22) on the streamer, Gangubai Kathiawadi scored 8.8 million viewing hours, which is higher than the second week (8.3 million). The cumulative viewing hours number of GB has now reached 43.2 million in 27 days. It is trending in the top 10 films in 34 countries. It was trending in 23 countries in the 3rd week. ## SS Rajamouli's global box office blockbuster, RRR Hindi version has made a big debut on Netflix. Launched on May 20 after completing 8 weeks in theaters with approx. 1120 crores worldwide gross, the period action drama film scored 7.18 million viewing hours in the first 3 days.## RRR, starring Jr. NTR, Ram Charan, Alia Bhatt, and Ajay Devgn along with Olivia Morris among others, is trending in the top 10 non-English films in 14 countries on Netflix. It is currently the number one movie in India, Mauritius, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and the Maldives. Considering the fact that RRR is still making money at the box office, the viewership numbers of it are very good. ## Meanwhile, Shahid Kapoor's Hindi remake of Telugu sports drama film Jersey scored 4.47 million viewing hours in its opening weekend and was the 7th most-watched non-English film last week. It was launched on Netflix on May 20, after completing its theatrical run where it didn't perform well. One of the main reasons behind its comparatively low numbers is that the dubbed version of the original movie is already available on YouTube for free. ## Thalapathy Vijay's Beast Hindi version Raw, which was released on Netflix on May 11, scored 2.58 million viewing hours in its second week. It was the 10th most-watched non-English film on the streamer last week. It had attracted 4.8 million viewing hours in the first weekend.## Stay tuned...
