Suriya's Retro Movie Box Office Collections: Struggling to Meet Break-Even Target
The makers of Suriya's movie Retro have shared the box office numbers. The movie was released on May 1 with high expectations, but it got mixed reviews. Because of this, the makers couldn't share the numbers for five days.
On May 6, the official poster was released, and the makers announced that the movie has made Rs. 104 crores at the box office so far. But trade sources say the net collection is Rs. 47.66 crores. The movie's target to break even is Rs. 82 crores.
Fans were excited for Retro after the failure of Kanguva, but many were disappointed. The movie did well in Tamil Nadu, but not in other states. Meanwhile, Hit 3 is doing much better. It earned over Rs. 100 crores in four days and has a net collection of Rs. 60 crores.
