The film continues to run riot in the South as it has a collections of 166 crore nett from South India till date. The Nizam/Andhra figures is an insane 64 crore nett which is almost 20% of the all India business. The overall contribution from the South is over 50%. 

The film is looking to smash all records for Hollywood films and chase down the 367 crore nett figure of AVENGERS: ENDGAME. The film should go on to do around 375 crore nett from here unless the film starts to drop faster now that the holiday period is over.

The third week looks to be heading for 57 crore nett which breaks all records for Hollywood releases by distances. The drop in the third week will be only 42% while in the second week it was 46%. This is extraordinary trending at these levels though obviously helped by the holiday period.
