KGF Chapter 2 has almost exhausted its run at the box office. It is still running in a few centres in its tenth week but they will hardly add to its box office tally and the business is as good as closing. The total box office collections of KGF 2 in India is Rs. 980 crores approx to date. The movie grossed another $27 million internationally for a worldwide gross of Rs. 1187 crores approx, just shy of Rs. 1200 crores mark.

Released in April, the film became the third movie in history to take Rs. 100 crores plus on opening day in India. The film continued to rake in moolah for weeks to come, becoming the second-highest grosser ever in India, just behind Baahubali 2, beating RRR by almost Rs. 90 crores. The film mobilised over 5 crores viewers to cinemas in India, with a final admit count of 5.20 crores approx, the third-highest in the 21st century.

KGF 2 scored blockbuster numbers universally across the board, which is extremely rare.
