Box Office: 'Housefull 5' Third Day/First Sunday Early Estimates

Mumbai, June 8 - Superstar Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5 has a very good opening weekend at the domestic box office after another solid day on Sunday, as collections are in the same range as Saturday, with estimates suggesting collection to be 31-32 crores net.

Normally, Bollywood film scores jump in collection on Sundays over Saturdays, but in the case of Housefull 5, there was a holiday on Saturday due to Bakrid, which boosted the collection to some extent. The holiday factor balanced things up otherwise, the movie could have soon a 10%-15% jump today.



The opening weekend collection (86-87 crores net) of Housefull 5 is now the biggest first weekend for Akshay Kumar after the Covid-19 pandemic, beating Sooryavanshi (77 crores net).

The trend for the movie during the opening weekend has been very good, which shows it has found acceptance among the moviegoers despite the mixed critics' reviews. It now boils down to how it performs during weekdays, starting with crucial Monday.
