KGF Chapter 2 Third weekend box office; Stays on course to Rs. 1000 crores in India
KGF Chapter 2 had another solid weekend at the Indian box office, grossing Rs. 48 crores approx in its third weekend. The drop from the second weekend was almost 65 per cent, which is a very good hold considering it had competition from new releases in every region whether Hindi or Telugu or Tamil. The good thing for the movie was that it has holidays on the weekdays to help the business and the non-performance of new Hindi and Telugu releases will further help the going. The third-week business can still go on to hit Rs. 100 crores, which is what it needs to stay on course to Rs. 1000 crores final.
The total business of the movie stands at Rs. 870 crores after the third weekend, just around Rs. 15 crores shy of the current second biggest grosser in India, RRR. On Tuesday, Yash starrer will be able to beat RRR to become the second biggest grosser ever in India and may as well hit Rs. 900 crores milestone.
