Housefull 5 Box Office Collection Day 1: Biggest opening in Akshay Kumar's movie career? Let's find out
Housefull 5, starring Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh and Abhishek Bachchan, was released on June 6 amid mixed reviews. Let's find out how much it collected at the box office on the day of its release.
But, before that, let's find out how much is at stake. The total budget for Housefull 5 is ₹ 240 crore, according to Pinkvilla. Out of this, ₹ 225 crore was used for production.
This covers the cost of paying the actors, shooting in multiple locations, building large sets and adding special effects. Another ₹ 15 crore was set aside for promotion, including posters, trailers and media events.
Even before the film hit cinemas, it earned ₹ 135 crore through non-theatrical deals, the publication added. The digital streaming rights were sold for ₹ 75 crore, TV satellite rights brought in ₹ 40 crore, and the music rights fetched ₹ 20 crore.
However, to break even, the film still needs to earn ₹ 105 crore through theatre collections. For this, it must collect around ₹ 250 crore from cinemas worldwide.
Just breaking even is not enough to call a film a hit. For Housefull 5 to be considered a success at the box office, it needs to gross at least ₹ 325 crore worldwide, Pinkvilla added.
The comedy movie will compete with the previous installment, Housefull 4, the biggest commercial success in Akshay Kumar's Hindi film career with a collection of ₹ ₹ 210.3 crore. It was also the biggest film in Riteish Deshmukh's career.
The next two films are Good Newwz ( ₹ 205.09 crore) and Mission Mangal ( ₹ 203.08 crore). For Akshay Kumar, these are the only three Hindi films that collected above ₹ 200 crore. The biggest movie is his career, however, is 2.0. The Tamil movie collected ₹ 744.78 crore worldwide.
Housefull 5 has made a strong start at the box office, earning ₹ 23 crore on its opening day. This impressive figure places it as the fourth-highest first-day grosser in Akshay Kumar's Bollywood career. It trails behind Mission Mangal ( ₹ 29.16 crore), Sooryavanshi ( ₹ 26.29 crore) and Gold ( ₹ 25.25 crore).
With this performance, Housefull 5 has overtaken the opening figures of other notable Akshay Kumar films like Kesari ( ₹ 21.06 crore), Singh Is Bliing ( ₹ 20.67 crore) and 2.0 (Hindi version, ₹ 20.25 crore).

Housefull 5 box office collection day 2:Tarun Mansukhani's ensemble film Housefull 5 with Akshay Kumar, Nargis Fakhri, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Riteish Deshmukh and Soundarya Sharma as the leads is doing well at the box office in India. According to Sacnilk, the film has collected ₹54 crore net in India so far. (Also Read: Housefull 5 worldwide box office collection day 1: Akshay Kumar film beats Sooryavanshi opening at ₹40 crore) The website reports that Housefull 5 collected ₹24 crore net in India and ₹40 crore worldwide on its opening day. On its first Saturday, the film brought in an estimated ₹30 crore net, taking its total collection so far to ₹54 crore approximately. The film registered an overall 33.18% occupancy, with numbers growing as the day progressed. Interestingly, the film showed good occupancy in cities like Chennai too, which had a 52% occupancy. Given that the film also has Sunday to bank on before weekdays hit, it remains to be seen how much the film collects in its first weekend. The film has been marketed with two different climaxes – Housefull 5 A and B – which also seems to be working in its favour. Talking about shooting two different endings, Tarun told ANI it was challenging and said, 'Sajid (Sajid Nadiadwala) sir had this idea about 30 years ago. And finally, he brought it to Housefull 5. And that was one of the most exciting things for me as a director to make a film with two different climaxes.' He added, 'At that point in time, it sounds very exciting and you feel very challenged and want to make it as a filmmaker. But when you come down to doing it actually on set, then you realise the real challenges.' Fardeen Khan, Chitrangada Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, Chunky Panday, Johnny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea, Ranjit and Nikitin Dheer also star in the fifth film of the popular franchise.

Sonali Bendre remains the only Bollywood actress to have had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of welcoming the late global pop icon Michael Jackson when he arrived in India for his HIStory World Tour in 1996. At the time, Bendre was joined by politician Raj Thackeray in organizing Jackson's grand welcome in Mumbai. Dressed in a traditional nine-yard saree, the actress performed a customary Indian ritual, applying a tilak to Jackson's forehead and performing an aarti, as he stepped off the plane at what was then known as Bombay Airport. Now, nearly three decades later, the Sarfarosh actress has opened up about how that unforgettable moment came to be. In a candid chat with ANI, Bendre revealed that the idea was initiated by Raj Thackeray's wife, Sharmila Thackeray, who had a personal connection with her family. 'They told me that you need to come and do that and be somebody who got in touch with me. I think it was Sharmila, Raj's wife. Sharmila's mother and my masi (aunt) have been friends for a long time, and she said, 'why don't you do it' (welcoming Michael Jackson),' Bendre recalled. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo While many would have jumped at the chance to welcome the King of Pop, Bendre had one condition before agreeing to participate.
