Retro Box Office Collection Day 2: Actor Suriya's movie Retro saw a slight dip in its Friday earnings, a day after witnessing a bumper opening. However, the movie is expected to bounce back over the weekend.
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Retro earned ₹7.5 crore on Friday, Day 2. The Tamil movie was released in only two languages – Tamil and Telugu.
Of its Day 2 earnings, Retro earned ₹7 crore in Tamil language and ₹5,00,000 in Telugu.
While it is extremely low, 61.04%, compared to its blockbuster opening day business of ₹19.25 crore, Retro's earnings are likely to improve over the weekend.
With this, the total business made by Retro is ₹26.75 crore.
According to Sacnilk, Retro's overall Tamil occupancy was 40.23% on Friday. Among Telugu audiences, Retro's occupancy was 15.78% on May 2.
It is majorly clashing with Nani's HIT 3, which earned ₹10 crore on Friday.
On day 1, Retro's net collection in India was ₹19.25 crore. On the same day, its Worldwide Collection was ₹32.25 crore, while its Overseas Collection was ₹10 crore. Its India Gross Collection was ₹22.25 crore.
However, film trade analysts like Ramesh Bala and Manobala Vijayabalan claim that Retro has now minted ₹46 crore worldwide, amplifying claims by the film team.
Bala posted on X, formerly Twitter, “#Retro Day 1 Gross 46 CR worldwide. #LoveLaughterWar.”
Retro is directed by Karthik Subbaraj and produced by 2D Entertainment and Stone Bench Films.
It is the first collaboration between Suriya and Subbaraj.
Apart from the film's lead Suriya, its key roles are played by Pooja Hegde, Joju George, Jayaram, Nassar, and Prakash Raj.
While Retro is still behind the box office success of Ajith Kumar's highest-grossing film, Good Bad Ugly, the Suriya-starrer has gained a better reception than his last release, Kanguva.
