HIT 3 Box Office Collection Day 2: Nani Starrer Slows Down By 85%, But Likely To Beat Adivi Sesh's HIT 2 Lifetime Biz Today

HIT 3 Box Office Collection Day 2: Nani's HIT: The Third Case became the Telugu star's 2nd biggest opener after Dasara. The movie released on the occasion of Labour Day and grossed ₹19 crore in all languages in India on day 1. This is despite the film getting an A certificate from the censor board. After a good opening on Thursday, the collections took a tremendous hit on Friday.

By 4.30 pm, HIT 3 had collected just ₹ 2.98 crore. This drop in collection was around 85% from its opening day biz. However, on the promising side, the fact is that the theatre occupancy remained solid, 34% for the morning shows, which rose close to 55% in the afternoon. The evening and night occupancy for the film is expected to be higher.
