KGF 2 has received good advance reservations in practically every major circuit, notably in the crucial Hindi belt. The film is on track to have the biggest opening weekend of any Indian film since the epidemic. According to sources, KGF 2 may have Rs 40+ nett opportunities in the Hindi belt.
Now, the focus is on the KGF 2 premieres in the United States. Typically, straight Hindi films do not have premieres in the United States. However, in the case of KGF 2, the buzz around the picture is undeniably intense. The producers might have made the most of it by organising Hindi premieres throughout the United States.
The South Indian language versions of KGF 2 are estimated to gross roughly $700,000 from their debuts in the United States. Given the fervour around KGF 2 in the Hindi belt, the producers should have opted for Hindi premieres across the United States.
If the film was able to attract a Hindi audience as well, the entire tally from the premieres may have topped $1 million, which would have been an incredible accomplishment for any non-Telugu Indian film.
Furthermore, had the Hindi version opened in the United States and had a resoundingly good reception, as RRR did, it would have secured substantial earnings from walk-ins, which would have contributed to the overall tally. By declining to conduct Hindi premieres for the Yash starrer in the United States, the producers and distributors have squandered an opportunity.
