Natural Star Nani

’s much-awaited thriller Hit 3 is showing promising signs at the North American box office ahead of its premiere. As the film is nearing it’s release date the excitement amongst the audience has been reaching new heights particularly in the USA.

As per the latest update, Hit 3 has raked in an impressive US $208,000 ( Rs 1.77 crore ) from advance bookings across 336 locations and 886 shows for it’s premiere shows, with 10,762 tickets already sold in the United States of America alone. When combined with the Canadian box office collection, the total premiere advance sales have touched the US $ 225,000 mark. With just three days remaining for its premiere, trade experts predict significant jumps in the coming days, possibly placing the film among the higher openers for Nani in overseas territories.

This growth in advance sales is particularly noteworthy when compared to the film’s numbers from April 24. Back then, Hit 3 had clocked $115,102 from 300 locations, 789 shows, and 5,967 tickets sold. In just a couple of days, the film has seen a remarkable 80% jump in gross and an equally sharp rise in ticket sales — nearly doubling its numbers and adding close to $100K to its advance total, indicating superb trending and heightened interest.
North America has always been a reliable market for Telugu cinema, and Nani, known for his relatable performances and varied film choices, enjoys a strong following in the region. The current pace of Hit 3’s advance sales suggests it could post one of Nani’s biggest overseas premieres, especially if the upward trend continues over the final booking window.But the road ahead for the film is an uphill climb as the break even target for the film just in USA has been pegged at US $ 2.4 million.
