HIT 3 box office collection Day 2: Nani-starrer surpasses HIT 2's lifetime total in just two days, earns Rs 31 crore

HIT 3 Box Office Collection Day 2: The highly anticipated HIT The Third Case, delivered a respectable collection of Rs 21 crore on its opening day. But as the trend of failing numbers continued throughout the country, the second day saw HIT 3's collections drop by almost 50%. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the Nani-starrer earned Rs 10 crore on its second day at the box office. While this is a huge drop, the movie has managed to surpass the total nett earnings of its predecessor, HIT 2.
HIT 2 had actor Adivi Sesh at the centre. But the film opened to a weak collection of Rs 6.4 crore, which further dipped the next day to Rs 5.35 crore. After a tough and slow 21 days at the Telugu box office, the film could only amass Rs 25.92 crore. However, its sequel, led by Nani, already sits at Rs 31 crore in India nett collection after just two days at the box office.

The occupancy rates of the film slowly rose throughout the day, as the morning and afternoon shows managed 34% and 54%, respectively, and the evening and night shows managed 54% and 66%, respectively. There is no doubt that the film is going to have a bigger impact on the box office than its predecessor. All of this is thanks to the involvement of Nani, who is a much bigger star.
Directed and written by Sailesh Kolanu, who has helmed all the other HIT projects, the cast of the film includes Nani, Adivi Sesh, Srinidhi Shetty, Rao Ramesh, Niveta Thomas and Brahmaji. HIT 3 has been compared to the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Animal (2023), Haneef Adeni's Unni Mukundan-led Marco (2024) and Nikhil Nagesh Bhat's Kill (2023), featuring Lakshya.
The actor quickly defended the film and dismissed the comparisons by saying, 'I don't think HIT 3 should be put in the same bracket as Animal, Kill, or Marco. HIT 3 follows a different grammar. When you watch the film at a stretch, everything fits so naturally that the violence won't be an issue. You won't feel the intense portions are out of place. Once the lights go off, people will be completely immersed in the world of HIT 3.'

If compassion is a stunt, may the world see more of it. If humanity is a strategy, may more people adopt it. I'm not defined by labels the media or trolls throw at me (sic)."advertisementIn a follow-up statement, Kundra added, 'My past does not cancel my present choices, and my present intentions are not for you to measure with your cynicism.

War 2 (Hindi) Day 2 Box Office: Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR starrer shows reasonable 60 percent growth on Independence holiday; Adds Rs 45 crore

War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, and starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani among others, grew by a reasonable 60 percent on day 2 in Hindi, to add Rs 45 crore net. The two day cume of the movie in Hindi stands at Rs 73 crore, keeping it on track for a Rs 130 crore net weekend. These aren't good numbers but they are decent nonetheless. The trend in the weekdays will be critical for the movie to end with net Hindi collections of over Rs 200 crore. War 2 Adds Decent Rs 45 Crore Net On Independence Day Holiday In Hindi The true value Hindi day 2 of War 2 is around Rs 48 crore net. Due to preference of the Telugu version of the movie over the Hindi version, the collections in the Andhra states for the Hindi version are lower than what they would normally be. War 2's contribution from the Telugu version for the opening day was roughly Rs 20 crore net. The presence of Jr NTR propelled the movie to these numbers. The collections from the dubbed version have come down considerably on day 2 and that was pretty much expected, too. They are pegged at around Rs 10 crore net. The two day India net all language total is a little over Rs 100 crore. War 2's Andhra States Distributor Stands To Lose Big There should be some stability at low levels for the movie on Saturday and Sunday in Telugu. However, for the prices at which the rights of the movie in the Andhra states (all languages) were acquired for, the numbers being put up by the movie are simply not going to be enough. Renegotiations will have to happen, else the distributor will lose a fortune. War 2's Trajectory Indicates A Rs 250 - 300 Crore Net Finish (All Languages) The India net numbers of War 2 are likely to end in the Rs 250 - 300 crore net range unless the weekday drops are too crazy. The overseas numbers are not much to shout about either. A USD 7.5 million extended global weekend, including premieres is probably all that the movie will be able to manage. The hold over the weekdays will be critical if it really needs to hit USD 15 million in its full run. War 2 In Theatres War 2 plays in theatres now. Tickets for the movie can be booked from the box office or from online ticketing applications. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
