Hey movie lovers! Vijay Deverakonda is back and ready to take over with his new film Kingdom. Even before it releases, this action-packed movie is making waves. The coolest news? In North America, Kingdom has a breakeven target that’s 31% higher than Vijay’s last movie, The Family Star. Let’s break it down in simple words and see why this is so exciting!
What’s Kingdom?
Kingdom is Vijay Deverakonda’s next big film, directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri. It’s an action drama with lots of thrilling moments and Vijay in a tough, new look. The teaser came out recently, and fans are already hooked. After a few flops, Vijay’s ready to make a comeback, and Kingdom—set to hit theaters on May 30, 2025—looks like his golden chance!
A Huge Breakeven Target
Here’s the big scoop: In North America (USA and Canada), Kingdom has a breakeven target of $2.1 million. That’s how much it needs to earn to cover costs there. Compare that to The Family Star, which had a target of $1.6 million, and Kingdom is 31% higher! It’s Vijay’s biggest pre-release deal ever in North America. Even after some tough times, people still believe in his star power.
How It Stacks Up Against The Family Star
Let’s look at the two films:
- The Family Star had a $1.6 million target in North America but didn’t reach it. It was a family story that didn’t click there.
- Kingdom is at $2.1 million—31% more! It’s an action movie that’s got everyone excited.
This jump shows Kingdom is a much bigger deal than The Family Star. The hype is real!
Why Is Kingdom So Hot?
So, what’s making Kingdom such a big thing? Here’s why:
- Teaser Craze: The teaser got 29 million views in just 24 hours and topped YouTube. Fans love Vijay’s new style!
- Big Stars: Jr. NTR, Suriya, and Ranbir Kapoor added their voices to the teasers in different languages. That’s pulling in tons of fans.
- Fan Buzz: People online are saying great things already. If the movie’s good, it could be huge.
- Summer Fun: Coming out on May 30, 2025, it’s perfect timing for a blockbuster.
With all this going for it, Kingdom might not just hit $2.1 million—it could go even higher!
Vijay’s Big Comeback Moment
Vijay’s had some rough patches lately. Liger (made for ₹125 crore) and The Family Star didn’t do well. But Kingdom, with a ₹100 crore budget, feels different. This North America deal shows he’s still a star fans love, and they’re cheering for him to shine again. It’s his shot to prove he’s back.
