Hyderabad: In the latest developments, Kalki 2898 AD has enjoyed a successful two-week run in cinemas without facing any major competition that could affect its box office earnings. However, its uninterrupted streak is expected to conclude today, with the release of Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2 and Akshay Kumar’s Sarfira posing significant competition. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, on its fifteenth day, Kalki 2898 AD garnered Rs 6.7 crore at the domestic box office, bringing its total nett domestic collection to Rs 543.45 crore.
Of the Rs 6.7 crore earned on Thursday, the Hindi version contributed Rs 4 crore while the Telugu version brought in Rs 1.65 crore. Overall, the Hindi version has accumulated Rs 232.9 crore nett in India, whereas the Telugu version stands at Rs 253.85 crore. During its first week, the Nag Ashwin-directed film amassed Rs 414.85 crore. However, its collections dipped by 69 percent in the second week, with earnings amounting to Rs 128.6 crore.
Meanwhile in North America, the film has minted over $16.75 million gross, claimed distributor Prathyangira US. Kalki 2898 AD stands out as the highest-grossing film of 2024 by a considerable margin. Previously, Fighter, starring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, held the top spot in Bollywood with nearly Rs 200 crore in earnings. Meanwhile, the Telugu and Tamil film industries witnessed fewer major hits this year, with HanuMan, according to Sacnilk, grossing Rs 295 crore worldwide.
