Kalki 2898 AD Sets Record-Breaking Advance Ticket Sales
Massive Advance Sales
Kalki 2898 AD, starring Prabhas, is breaking advance ticket sales records ahead of its release. The film has sold over 1.4 million tickets worth ₹38 crore, with projections suggesting advance sales could reach ₹50 crore.
Box Office Projections
Industry tracker Sacnilk projects a domestic debut of ₹120-140 crore and an overseas debut of ₹60 crore, aiming for a worldwide opening of ₹180-200 crore. This could make Kalki the third Indian film to surpass ₹200 crore on its opening day, following RRR and Baahubali 2.
Regional Ticket Pricing
Andhra Pradesh has allowed temporary ticket price hikes for the film. Single screens have seen a ₹75 hike, while multiplexes have increased prices by ₹125. Despite this, ticket prices in Hyderabad remain significantly lower than in Delhi and Mumbai. The most expensive tickets in Hyderabad are ₹505, compared to up to ₹2200 in Delhi for Pathaan last year.
Mumbai and Beyond
In Mumbai, the highest ticket price is ₹2000 at PVR’s Jio World Drive. Despite cheaper prices in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, these regions alone have contributed over ₹27 crore in advance sales.
