Breakdown of the Day 2 Collection
Trade analysts found Kingdom to have a marginal decline as compared to its opening day collections ( 17.6 crore), yet it retained a grip on the urban multiplexes and mass circuits. The Telugu version topped the charts followed by Tamil and Hindi, dubbed versions that too had satisfactory penetration owing to the pan-Indian star presence of Deverakonda.
