HIT: The Second Case Box Office Figures; Adivi Sesh's Film Grosses 31 Crores In Its First Weekend Worldwide

The second part of the Telugu action-thriller series HIT performed well on its opening weekend. The film starring Adivi Sesh made Rs. 21.50 crores in box office receipts, of which Rs. 18 crores came from the Telugu states. The weekend sales are comparable to Adivi's last release this year, Major, while the lifetime sales of the first HIT in 2020 are nearly double. With an $850K opening weekend in North America, HIT 2 also performed well internationally. Major made about Rs. 31 crores at the box office worldwide.

Over the course of the weekend, the movie's box office collections decreased each day. One factor contributing to this loss was the fact that Sunday sales in urban areas tend to diminish. Despite this, the movie has done the majority of its work, bringing in Rs. 9 crores in Telugu states as opposed to Rs. 13 crores in costs, which should be easily recovered. In general, Tollywood experiences a decline in the second half of the year, but this year was especially awful with Karthikeya 2 in August being the final big hit. This has been a poor year for the Telugu cinema industry, with the exception of RRR and those three weeks in August.
