May 1 (International Labor Day) witnessed a handful of releases across the film industries in India: Raid 2, Retro, HIT 3, Tourist Family, and The Bhootnii. All five major releases this weekend grossed a total of almost Rs 100 crore at the worldwide box office on their opening day.
May Day releases collects almost Rs 100 crore together on Day 1
Out of all the major releases of this weekend, the Nani starrer A-rated crime action drama HIT 3, Suriya’s Retro, and Ajay Devgn-led Raid 2 together aggregated a total of Rs 93.50 crore on their opening days worldwide. While HIT 3 grossed Rs 34 crore, Retro opened with an estimated opening of Rs 31.5 crore, and Raid 2 put up a total of Rs 27 crore gross.
The other two releases—Tourist Family and The Bhootnii—added around Rs 3.80 crore to the tally, bringing Labor Day’s turnout slightly behind the Rs 100 crore mark.
Audience reception will decide their fate
The Telugu movie HIT 3 opened to positive reception, while the Tamil release Retro and Hindi flick Raid 2 met with mixed word-of-mouth. On the other hand, the Sasikumar starrer Tourist Family turned out to be a heartwarming fresh breeze of air, but the Sanjay Dutt starrer horror-comedy opened to disastrous reviews.
It will be interesting to see how these movies perform over the weekend and then on the weekdays. While HIT 3, Tourist Family, and Raid 2 are in the safe zone and are expected to sail through a successful theatrical run, the other two—Retro and The Bhootnii—might find it difficult to gain the much-needed traction.
