Retro Advance Ticket Booking Report

Retro, starring Suriya, is presently in the advance booking phase and is looking good for its premiere weekend. Manobala Vijayan, a trade analyst and industry insider, revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that the movie has already surpassed the Rs 10 crore milestone in global advance ticket sales.

With this amount, Retro has a good chance of surpassing Kanguva as the highest domestic opening-day grosser in Suriya's career. The 2024 movie Kanguva made Rs 6.20 crore at its final pre-release and Rs 26 crore on its first day in India. There is a good chance that the final Day 1 numbers will be within the pre-sales amount for Retro, which already appears to be feasible.
