marquees

Before 57-year-old Rajnikant's latest venture 'Sivaji' hit the marquees this week, it was a common sight to see fans performing ablution by milk on his cut-outs, breaking coconuts in front of the film's posters to ward off evil forces, offering prayers and standing in never-ending serpentine queues to get a ticket.

What does `marquees' mean in this sentence?

Please help me.

I know it. I have already saw these meanings in a dictionary. But I don't understand the `hit the marquee'

appeared in the marquees - the film was shown in the marquees.

'hit the' is often used in this sense. New products hit the highstreet. (appear in high street shops). We hit the bars after the concert (we went to bars after the concert).
