RRR has grossed $8.25 million in just 2 days at the US box office. What this means is that the movie has now overtaken Baahubali as the second highest grossing South Indian movie of all time, including Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam films, in the US, and has managed to do so in merely 2 days. No prizes for guessing that the highest grossing South movie in the US is Rajamouli's own Baahubali 2, which is now well within reach of RRR. Its amazing how the Director keeps competing with himself.

Coming to the overall worldwide box office collection, SS Rajamouli's RRR, starring Jr NTR and Ram Charan, with Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn in extended cameos, brought in a ₹228.50 crore gross on its opening day and then held exceedingly well on day two to hit another century and haul in a gross of ₹108.50 crore, for a cumulative 2-day total gross of ₹337 crore. The massive drop from day 1 was expected as there's no way the movie can pull off 200-crore plus in a single day. Any which way you look at it, the collection thus far is fantastic, especially considering the high level at which the Rajamouli film began, and it's well on its way to be a monstrous blockbuster in all regions.
