HIT 3 sets the box office on fire

According to Sacnilk, HIT 3 had collected ₹10.50 crore by 4.30 pm on its release day. The morning theatre occupancy was around 80% for the film, which rose to 92.37% for the afternoon shows. It is on track to become one of the top openers in Tollywood this year, but may not be able to beat Ram Charan's Game Changer, which collected ₹41.25 crore, partly due to its Hindi biz, which was around ₹8 crore on its opening day.

Other Tollywood releases this year so far that have done well on their opening days are Daaku Maharaaj (₹25.35 crore) and Sankranthiki Vasthunam (₹23 crore). It remains to be seen where HIT 3 will land on the list of Tollywood releases as far as opening day collections go.

The first part was also remade in Hindi with Rajkummar Rao and Sanya Malhotra.
