HOUSEFULL 5 collected 79 crore nett plus over its first three days which is a good number though the film probably needed to do better. But its enough to keep it in the race and as long as it does well from here, it should do well. Generally, the franchise has run well post the weekend but this time, the film is slightly different as its not an outright comedy and more like comedy/suspense film.
This is the highest post pandemic number for an Akshay Kumar starrer beating the 77 crore nett number of SOORYAVANSHI but that released when there were issues due to Covid-19 and business has got better for the bigger films since then. So, in fair value terms, this weekend is not as strong as SOORYAVANSHI.
The film has generally scored well in all circuits with good enough collections in the East India also where comedies tend to work less. Gujarat is very good considering the film has elements of an adult comedy and it has collected well till date despite being a conservative state. The growth of the film could have been better over the weekend as taking the Eid factor out, it has jumped around 30% from Friday to Sunday which is less. There was a fall in a few circuits on Sunday though gains in Mumbai and Central belt meant that the film made minimal gains.
The story for the film will be what happens from here as it has all of June to do business as there is only one other major release in the month. The Monday is crucial and it needs a double digit number at the very least if it is to benefit from this open run in front of it. A weekend of 90 crore nett plus would have made the journey easier but the film has probably fallen 10 crore nett short of it had to do and now it has to make up ground over the next 10-12 days.
The collections of HOUSEFULL 5 till date are as follows.
Friday – 22,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday – 28,25,00,000 apprx
Sunday – 29,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL – 79,25,00,000 apprx

HOUSEFULL 5 did good business in India but it was better in overseas as it recorded very good numbers across all the overseas markets outside US/Canada which could have been better. Still Gulf, United Kingdom and Australia were excellent and its the biggest overseas opening of 2025 for a Hindi film.
The film managed around $4 million overseas which beats the $3.4 million of CHHAAVA even though US/Canada was far less as CHHAAVA was $1.7 million and HOUSEFULL 5 will be $1.1 million apprx. But in Gulf, CHHAAVA was $560k but here, Gulf will be a huge $1 million higher at $1.5 million plus. The highest opening films for Akshay Kumar in Overseas before HOUSEFULL 5 were GOOD NEWWZ at $3.4 million and SOORYAVANSHI at $3.3 million.
The worldwide number for the film is 130.50 crore which is also the highest for an Akshay Kumar starrer beating the 118 crore figure of SOORYAVANSHI. The other 100 crore weekend grosser is MISSION MANGAL at 102 crore. The film got 96.50 crore GROSS in India and 34 crore GROSS in Overseas. The target is probably to emerge as the biggest Akshay Kumar film in India and Overseas and although it looks easier in Overseas, it will not be so as the US/Canada market is less and Gulf tends to die a bit quicker than US/Canada.

HOUSEFULL 5 collected around 11 crore nett on Monday which is a drop of 50% from the first day which takes the four day total of the film to 90 crore nett. The film could have done with a better hold but its fair and keeps the film in the race for some sort of success though there is a lot of work to be done. Also considering the weekend trend, a stronger hold was looking tough.
There are places which have actually held better like the North, Central and parts of East India while while other areas have actually seen noticeable drops on Monday. Gujarat, which did very well over the weekend, did see a drop on Monday but the weekend business was surprising as the film is more of an adult comedy and suspense film rather than a family comedy. This is a bit of a downer as if this market had come through, the film was sure to do very well.
After four days, the film has a decent number on the board and its a fair Monday trend but its mainly about how does the film run from here. A stronger hold on Monday would have really helped though post pandemic, a 50% drop is better than what it would have meant pre pandemic but it remains to be seen if the film consolidates from here over the next few days or shows a drop. If the film can hold well and keep a good level till the end of the week, that will be a huge plus as the weekend will do well.
It remains best in places like Delhi/UP, Rajasthan and CI and these circuits have to continue to do well if the film is to succeed. The Delhi/UP hold could be due to post Eid also.
The collections of HOUSEFULL 5 till date are as follows.
Friday – 22,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday – 28,25,00,000 apprx
Sunday – 29,00,00,000 apprx
Monday – 11,00,00,000 apprx

HOUSEFULL 5 saw a drop in collections on Tuesday as it collected 9.25-9.50 crore nett. This drop would be fine if it was not for cheap Tuesdays as rates were dropped. Hence, it should have held its collections better. A film like this should not be going for cheap Tuesday offers anyway as your weekend collections were good; so, it should have at least avoided the cheap rates for the first week.
Basically it should have been like RAID 2 where they held Tuesday at normal weekday rates but the makers were probably more confident about that film in the longer run than here as the Monday fall may look fine overall but there were big falls on Monday morning in many circuits including an important one like Mumbai. Mumbai has held better on Tuesday but Delhi/UP has seen a fall.
The film is around the 100 crore nett mark in five days and its looking like a long journey for the film especially with this drop. Post the cheap Tuesday, there is likely to be another drop. It remains to be seen where the film goes from here and the second weekend looks very crucial for the film. The film has 100 crore nett up on the board and it should be a first week of around the 115 crore nett mark.
The second week and what happens after will decide the fate of the film and whether the film can reach the success mark or do better with a bit of luck. To emerge a HIT, the film has a lot of work to do and looks very hard at the moment unless the second week can really surprise.

HOUSEFULL 5 dropped further on Wednesday as it collected 7.25 crore nett. The film is seeing noticeable drops on the weekdays and this is a concern going forward. Its not the film has a huge total up on the board that it can afford to have these drops. The film has so far collected 107 crore and the week looks like closing at 113 crore nett.
All is not yet lost for the film but it needs to stabilize over the next two days. A hold must come either on Thursday or Friday but if it keeps on the present trend, then the second weekend will not help much as it will jumping on Saturday from a low second Friday. Basically the next two days will decide the fate of film.
The film is not going to meet the expectations of the franchise that is pretty much certain but if it can hold decently from here. At least it wont be a FLOP film and in todays time, that itself can be seen as a positive. Obviously if the film was not part of a successful franchise, then even these results would be pretty good. The two positives for the film are that it has done well in Delhi/UP and it has an open week in week two.
The collections of HOUSEFULL 5 till date are as follows.

HOUSEFULL 5 had a decent first week of 113 crore nett though it was let down by the business on weekdays. The film managed to score a good weekend of almost 80 crore nett but could only add around 34 crore nett over the weekdays when it should have at least added 40 crore nett. The film is now on a rescue act as the second Friday hold is a must if it is to become even a moderate success.
Another drop on the second Friday and the film will be heading for trouble as business after the second week will be harder. There will be SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR releasing next week which is not an initial taking film but it will still hit the collections of HOUSEFULL 5. The film will not reach the numbers of HOUSEFULL 4 but if it can to around 170-175 crore nett, that is a fair total though the industry will probably not see it that way due to the expectations from the film especially being a franchise.
HOUSEFULL 5 should have done better but obviously the content is weaker than the last film and on top, you have these two climaxes in one film which would have been of no help. Its pretty certain that no one will be doing this again in a hurry though never say never as in this industry, mistakes are often repeated. Its basically a crucial Friday for the film and if it can come out with 6 crore nett or close, then it wont meet expectations. At the same time, it wont FLOP either.

HOUSEFULL 5 collected 5.25 crore nett on its second Friday which is around 12% down from Thursday. There is a drop but its not as bad as the drop on the weekdays and there is some stabilization. However, a number more closer to its Thursday number would have been better. There were only a couple of Hollywood releases and when there is no competition, you always stand a chance of the holdover Friday being as good as the previous day.
Still, the number is just about good enough to keep on track for and AVERAGE success but for that it has to consolidate over the weekend and get that growth which holdover films get. Basically the film is going to be middling success like KESARI CHAPTER 2 but you can take that for that film as nothing much is expected. However, with HOUSEFULL 5, the expectations are much more due to which a middling success looks disappointing. In todays time, it is a must that these established franchises become HIT films because outside franchise, its very tough to get initial audience.
HOUSEFULL 5 stands at 119 crore nett at the moment and it does not look if it will reach the 150 crore nett mark by the end of the week unless Saturday and Sunday show really huge growth. The target now for the film is probably to become the second highest grosser of the year and for that it has beat the RAID 2 numbers which stand at around 164 crore nett at present.

HOUSEFULL 5 saw good growth of around 70% on its second Saturday which was a must for the film. If it had come lower, then it may have just folded in the 150 crore nett range but now it has a shot at closing its lifetime numbers somewhere similar to the RAID 2 numbers. Its a below par performance but at least, the film will not flop.
Its looking an AVERAGE fare unless the film can collect well post the release of SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR. It is not a huge film but has Aamir Khan in it and so, it will get a bigger release than the content should be getting and its this release which will affect HOUSEFULL 5. The film showed better growth in Mumbai circuit on Saturday while it was lesser in the North. The film has performed well in North though for a comedy film which tend to be weaker here unless that one that have that North base.
HOUSEFULL 5 now stands at almost 128 crore nett and it should close the week somewhere close to the 150 crore nett. Then, it will be about what it can do post week two with the flow of releases to start.
