By Thursday, the Prabhas starrer has amassed USD 7.25 million (Rs. 60.50 crore) internationally, with USD 4.50 million coming from previews. The territories which had previews on Wednesday held strongly on Thursday, which puts in on the path to a USD 14-15 million extended weekend.
Combined with Rs. 101 crore approx earned on the first day in India, the worldwide gross of Kalki 2898 AD stands at Rs. 161.50 crore, placing it similar to KGF Chapter 2, for the third-best debut for an Indian film.
The top overseas play for the film was in the United States, where it grossed USD 4.95 million on its first day, including USD 3.50 million in previews. The opening day numbers are second only to RRR, which grossed USD 5.10 million. The film held incredibly well on Thursday with USD 1.45 million, despite being a weekday.

In neighbouring Canada, the film grossed CAD 660K, including CAD 400K from previews, both being a record for a Telugu film. The combined North American weekend is likely to approach USD 10 million plus, and in the official reporting i.e. without converting CAD to USD, will be over USD 10 million.
