Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5 Sees Strong Start With Rs 3.88 Crore Advance Booking
Last Updated: Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5 is off to a flying start, earning ₹3.88 crore in advance bookings and selling over 25,000 tickets ahead of its June 6 release. With just days to go until its grand release, Housefull 5 is already generating major momentum at the box office. The latest installment in the beloved comedy franchise has raked in a whopping ₹3.88 crore in advance bookings—five days ahead of its June 6 release date. Directed by Tanu Mansukhani, the film boasts a star-studded ensemble including Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Jackie Shroff, Fardeen Khan, Chitrangda Singh, Nana Patekar, and more. According to data from Sacnilk, the film has already sold 25,429 tickets across India. Of the ₹3.88 crore in advance sales, ₹90.88 lakh has been collected so far, with ₹36.41 lakh coming from the Hindi-language version alone. And with interest surging, these figures are only expected to climb as opening day approaches. Adding a never-before-seen twist to the theatrical experience, Housefull 5 will release in two versions—Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B—each featuring a different climax. This dual-ending experiment marks a first in Indian cinema, allowing audiences to choose their preferred finale. So far, 14,666 tickets have been sold for one version, while the other has clocked in 9,960. Despite the buzz, Housefull 5 faces a tough box office clash with Thug Life, the Kamal Haasan-led Tamil actioner directed by Mani Ratnam, which hits cinemas on June 5. However, expectations remain sky-high. Trade analysts predict Housefull 5 could outpace Akshay Kumar's previous blockbusters like Gold (₹25.25 crore opening) and Mission Mangal (₹29.16 crore opening). Industry insiders believe the film has the potential to notch a ₹30 crore Day 1 collection—a first for the actor—and become one of his biggest international openers. Releasing on over 500 screens nationwide, Housefull 5 is shaping up to be one of the biggest comedies of the year. The franchise, which kicked off in 2010, has delivered consistent box office successes with sequels in 2012, 2016, and 2019. This marks Akshay Kumar's return to the big screen after Kesari Chapter 2 and Sky Force, and all eyes are on whether Housefull 5 can deliver the franchise's biggest hit yet.
