South Indian star Nani is back with a bang in his upcoming action thriller HIT 3, and fans are already showing their love in a big way! The film is directed by Sailesh Kolanu and hit theatres worldwide on May 1, 2025. Before its official release, the movie has already made waves with its incredible performance in advance bookings for US premieres.
HIT 3 US Premiere Advance Booking Collections
According to Venky Box Office, HIT 3 – which also stars Srinidhi Shetty – has earned $415,970 from advance bookings for its premiere shows in the US. The last 24 hours before the premiere saw a massive 55% surge in ticket sales, showing just how excited fans are for this movie.
In total, the film sold around 21,500 tickets across 435 locations. This helped HIT 3 wrap up its North American premiere sales at an impressive $450,000.
Thanks to Nani’s strong fan base in the US, industry experts are expecting even more through spot bookings. Early predictions suggest that the film could earn over $650,000 just from premiere night alone!
HIT 3 Sets New Record for Telugu Films in 2025
Telugu films have had a strong start at the US box office in 2025, but HIT 3 has managed to stand out. It now holds the second-highest US premiere pre-sales for a Telugu film this year, only behind Ram Charan’s Game Changer.
Here’s a look at the Top 5 Telugu US premiere advance bookings in 2025:
- Game Changer – $657.9K
- HIT 3 – $415.9K
- Daaku Maharaaj – $354.7K
- MAD Square – $280.2K
- Sankranthiki Vasthunam – $187.3K
As seen above, HIT 3 is one of only two Telugu films in 2025 to cross the $400K mark in premiere bookings. Interestingly, even though Game Changer started strong, it failed to perform well after release due to poor reviews. All eyes are now on Nani and team to see whether HIT 3 can maintain its momentum and win over both fans and critics.
