Kingdom Box Office Collection Day 1 - City Wise Record

It’s finally here. The much-awaited Telugu period action film Kingdom hit theatres on Friday, and Day 1 numbers are creating quite a wave—at least in Telugu-speaking states. There’s an energy in the air you just can’t miss. From packed morning shows in Warangal to steady footfall in Vizag and Guntur, fans showed up in large numbers. On Day 1, Kingdom earn around ₹5.54 crore India net, combining all language versions till now. But not everything is smooth sailing. The Tamil version seems to be struggling to gain ground. 

Let’s break down how the film performed and where the audience response stood out most.

Strong Opening in Telugu Heartland

The Day 1 occupancy numbers from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana tell a pretty solid story. In many regions, Kingdom managed to pull more than 70% occupancy for the morning shows, which is honestly impressive considering there wasn’t much mainstream Bollywood competition this week.

Highlights:

• Warangal topped the list with 87% occupancy, setting a benchmark.

• Vizag followed closely with 83%, while Hyderabad maintained a solid 76%.

• Guntur, Mahbubnagar, and Kakinada also recorded over 70%.

The film reportedly had around 2.3 Cr gross collection on its opening day just from Telugu states, which is quite promising for a film without a massive pan-India star cast.

Here’s a detailed table showing the major Telugu-speaking cities and how they performed on Day 1:

Tamil Version Fails to Impress

While the Telugu version of Kingdom is off to a flying start, the Tamil release is a different story. Despite releasing across major cities like Chennai, Coimbatore, and Madurai, the footfall remained very low. Overall occupancy in many places didn’t even cross the 20% mark.

It’s kind of disappointing to see such a low turnout in Tamil Nadu, especially since the film tried to promote itself as a bilingual project.

Public Buzz & Social Media Reactions

Social media is buzzing with excitement, particularly in Andhra and Telangana. Users shared snaps from theatres showing packed audiences and energetic reactions.

For a regional release, Kingdom seems to be holding its ground well in Telugu states. The occupancy rate and gross earnings show that there’s genuine interest. However, if the Tamil version doesn’t pick up momentum over the weekend, it might be written off early in that market.

The weekend numbers will now determine how strong the film’s legs are. Positive word-of-mouth from Telugu audiences could push the collections further, especially on Saturday and Sunday.
