Thug Life vs Housefull 5 Opening Weekend Box Office: Akshay Kumar's comedy dominates Kamal Haasan starrer by a Rs 50 crore margin
Thug Life and Housefull 5 locked horns with one another over the Bakri Eid weekend at the Indian box office. Thug Life released a day earlier than Housefull 5 and grossed Rs 81 crore worldwide over its extended 4 day weekend. Housefull 5 has emerged a clear winner grossing Rs 131 crore worldwide in just 3 days. Let's break down the box office of both films in further detail.
Thug Life grossed slightly over Rs 36 crore worldwide on its opening day. Due to poor word of mouth, the film saw a striking drop over the subsequent days. It barely managed to double its opening day over the weekend and that is disastrous. The 4 day India collections of Thug Life stand at an abysmal Rs 40 crore while the film has brought a better, although poor, Rs 41 crore from international markets. The movie is unlikely to touch Rs 100 crore worldwide in its lifetime and that is tragic, given that big Tamil movies are grossing that much on their very first day. Infact, Leo, in advance, grossed more than what Thug Life will, in the full run.
Housefull 5 opened to good worldwide collections of a little over Rs 38 crore. It grossed Rs 26.50 crore (Rs 22 crore net) in India, and managed around Rs 12 crore from international markets. The film went from strength to strength over the weekend, growing on Bakri Eid and then also on Sunday. The India gross total of Housefull 5 after 3 days is Rs 95 crore, while it has grossed around Rs 36.50 crores internationally. The weekend collections are the highest for an Akshay Kumar starrer as a lead hero, be it in India, overseas or worldwide.
Housefull 5 is holding well in India on Monday. The collections internationally are expected to show bigger drops because the driver of the collections of Housefull 5 over the weekend were the Gulf countries and the Gulf market is more frontloaded. Had it been North America leading the numbers, one could have expected better holds for the comic caper. Regardless, it has done well for itself.
The Weekend Box Office Comparison Of Thug Life And Housefull 5 Is As Under

Sunita Ahuja reveals Govinda wanted physique like Sylvester Stallone: 'Tu mujhe paisa nahi de raha hai ki main teri...'
Superstar Govinda is widely recognised for his performance in the 90s comedy movies. He has been married to Sunita Ahuja for more than 30 years. Like every other time, Sunita has again hit the headlines due to her bold confessions and unapologetic attitude. In a recent interview with Instant Bollywood, Sunita revealed the sole reason behind her fights with husband Govinda. She pointed out how people around him intentionally don't let him realize his worth. She stressed that Govinda not working is the only reason why she engages in a fight with him. "Main usko bolti hu, tu kaam kar. Public tujhe miss kar rhi hai. Main bolti hun tu weight lose kar kam se kam 20 kgs. Usne mujhe 6-7 saal pehle bola tha ke main Sylvester Stallone banke dikhaunga, kyunki he is one of my favourite actor. Maine kaha woh is janam mein toh hone nahi wala, agle janam mein tu mujhe pati ke roop mein nahi, bete ke roop mein chahiye," said Sunita. "(I tell him to work. The audience is missing you. I also ask him to lose weight, at least 20 kilos. He told me 6-7 years ago that he would lose weight and become like Sylvester Stallone because he's one of my favourite actors. I told him, that's not going to happen in this life. In the next life, I don't want you as a husband but as a son)." Sunita Ahuja went on to add that Govinda has been wasting his time because of the people around him. Blaming his social circle, she highlighted that these people misguide him as they benefit from the Partner actor. Furthermore, Ahuja mentioned that she advises him to choose directors wisely to match the contemporary cinema standards. The 50-year-old admitted that Govinda is living in the 90s era which is why his comeback is still awaited. In the same interview, Sunita remarked how the Hero No. 1 actor gets angry because of her honest criticism. "Tu mujhe paisa nahi de raha hai ki main teri chamchagiri karu. Main idhar kisi ke baap ki chamchagiri karne nahi baithi (You are not giving me money to flatter you. I am not sitting here to flatter anyone's father)", concluded Govinda's wife.
