Tollywood star Nani is gearing up for a massive release with his upcoming movie, HIT: The Third Case, also known as HIT 3. The film is generating strong buzz thanks to its gripping teaser, action-packed trailer, and the growing popularity of the HIT franchise. Scheduled to hit theatres on May 1, the movie is already making waves in the industry with its impressive pre-release business.
HIT 3 Creates Buzz Before Release
Known for picking exciting scripts, Nani has once again chosen a project that has caught everyone’s attention. HIT 3 is part of the popular HIT franchise, and fans are eagerly waiting to see what this new installment has in store. The recently released trailer has added to the excitement with its intense visuals and suspenseful storyline.
Thanks to the franchise’s success and Nani’s strong fan base, the film has become one of the most awaited Telugu releases. The excitement among trade circles is high, and this is clearly seen in the film’s pre-release theatrical business.
Massive Pre-Release Business in Telugu States and Beyond
According to a report from Track Tollywood, HIT: The Third Case has earned a solid ₹15 crores from the six territories in Andhra Pradesh. In the Ceded region, the movie has made business worth ₹5 crores. The Nizam area has seen theatrical rights sold for ₹11-12 crores. When adding the rest of India and overseas rights, the total pre-release business stands at an impressive ₹40 crores worldwide.
What Is the Break-Even Target?
With a pre-release business of ₹40 crores, the film needs to earn a share of ₹40 crores at the box office to break even. This means HIT 3 needs to make around ₹75 to ₹80 crores gross worldwide to become a safe bet for distributors. Given the hype and the franchise value, this target seems very achievable.
If the film opens to positive word-of-mouth, there’s a high chance it could cross even bigger milestones. Industry experts believe HIT 3 could become a ₹100 crore grosser, which would mark a significant success for Nani.
Huge Streaming Deal with Netflix
While the theatrical business is going strong, HIT 3 has also made headlines with its non-theatrical business. According to reports, Netflix has acquired the digital streaming rights for over ₹50 crores. This is said to be one of the highest OTT deals for a Nani film, adding a major boost to the film’s total revenue.
Final Thoughts
With a powerful trailer, a strong cast, and the backing of a successful franchise, HIT: The Third Case looks all set for a grand box office run. The solid pre-release business, combined with the massive Netflix deal, puts the film in a great position even before its theatrical release.
All eyes are now on May 1, when audiences will finally get to watch Nani’s much-awaited action thriller on the big screen.
