'Housefull 5' Becomes The Biggest Box Office Opener Of The Franchise; Earns Rs 24.35 Crore

Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan and Riteish Deshmukh starrer Housefull 5 was expected to be a record-breaking opener when the teaser and the first song “Laal Pari” was out. However, when the advance booking opened, the response was quite bad and it seemed even difficult for the film to even go past the day one biz of the previous film in the franchise, Housefull 4.
But, the on ground audience and a good of word of mouth has led to Housefull 5 becoming the biggest opener of the franchise by a margin.
Sharing the film’s box office, trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote, “No block bookings... No #BOGO free ticket offers... No discounted ticket rates... A non-holiday release... Yet, #SajidNadiadwala packs a solid punch with #Housefull5.
#Housefull5 posts an impressive opening day score… The film gained momentum as the day progressed, with evening and late-night shows performing the best.
Although advance bookings weren't particularly strong, it was the current bookings that drove the numbers higher... In fact, the Day 1 figures have once again proven all pre-release expectations and projections wrong by a wide margin.
#Housefull4 – the biggest opener of the franchise – had collected ₹ 19.08 cr [pre-Diwali] on its opening day… #Housefull5, despite releasing on a *non-holiday* + working day, has now emerged as the biggest opener of the franchise.
#Housefull5 is expected to post even stronger numbers on Saturday and Sunday – two crucial days that could significantly boost its total… If the business jumps in mass circuits, non-national chains, and single screens, the sky's the limit.
#Housefull5 [Week 1] Fri ₹ 24.35 cr. #India biz | Nett BOC | #Boxoffice”.
