‘Kalki 2898 AD’ Review: Lavish Tollywood Sci-Fi Epic Is an Unabashedly Derivative Spectacle

Naman Ramachandran Indian sci-fi epic “Kalki 2898 AD” made a third place debut at the worldwide box office in a weekend led by “Inside Out 2” and “A Quiet Place: Day One.” Disney’s “Inside Out 2” collected $165 million worldwide, including $57.4 million in North America, in its third weekend of release and now has crossed a $1 billion gross, according to numbers from Comscore. Paramount’s “A Quiet Place: Day One” debuted with $98.5 million, including $53 million in North America, releasing across 60 territories.

Refresh for latest…: Paramount’s A Quiet Place: Day One not only set a domestic opening record for the franchise, it also did it at the international box office. Of the $98.5M global start, $45.5M is from 59 overseas markets, well exceeding expectations.

You’ve probably heard that the films — long-gestating passion projects from a movie icon who in recent years reclaimed his cultural relevance with the hit series “Yellowstone” – are pricey. The first cost $100 million to produce and will be followed only weeks later by its sequel.
