The first show in AP and Telangana only begins after 7 AM on 31 July.
As per the distributor, Shloka Entertainments, over 15,000 tickets have already been sold in the US for Kingdom's premieres. Announcing the premiere show timings, they also wrote on X (formerly Twitter), 'Before the world sees it…#Kingdom will storm into select USA electronic content enabled screens FIRST. Keep checking your local theater websites for early showtimes!' Numerous fans in the comments complained though about the lack of enough shows.
