After completing two weekends (11 days) in theaters, the final box office verdict for HIT 3 is in — and it has fallen short of the hit status it was initially expected to achieve.
Despite strong openings in the Nizam region and the USA, and decent collections in Andhra and Ceded, the film failed to maintain momentum.
The first major drop came on the Monday following its release.
The film struggled to recover in the Ceded region and most parts of Andhra Pradesh, with Vizag being the only exception.
The second weekend brought no significant uptick in collections, confirming HIT 3 as a loss-making venture in most areas of Andhra Pradesh, with only Uttarandhra (Vizag) managing to break even.
In Nizam (Telangana), the film managed to recover its investment and break even.
In North America, HIT 3 has yet to reach the break-even point. Despite grossing over $2 million, the film has struggled to cover its high distribution and promotional expenses.
Even with active promotions by lead actors Nani and Srinidhi Shetty across North America, the impact on returns has been minimal.
This outcome reflects a broader pattern in Nani’s recent career.
While his market has grown in the USA and Nizam regions, his recent films often end up as average performers — opening strong but failing to generate significant profits.
In conclusion, when taking all territories and revenues into account, HIT 3 can be classified as an average box office performer.
