Housefull 5 advance booking report
Housefull 5 took a promising start at the box office before its release, with promising advance booking trends. According to numbers from Sacnilk, the film collected ₹8 crore gross in advance booking for its opening day. Two versions of the film, with two different endings, are releasing in theatres. Housefull 5A contributed ₹5.67 crore, while 5B contributed ₹2.35 crore in advance booking. This has set the pace for the film to have a more-than-decent opening day.
Housefull 5 box office prediction
Trade sources say that the buzz for the film is strong, and even conservative estimates put it crossing ₹20 crore on day 1 in India. Some trade pundits estimate that Housefull 5 can even cross ₹22 crore or ₹25 crore if the early word of mouth holds well. So far, the crowd reactions from early screenings are largely positive, with viewers praising the comedy and the performances. This bodes for the film, hinting that the ₹25-crore opening day figure may not be an impossibility for Housefull 5.
How Housefull 5 fares against other recent hits
If the film manages to breach the ₹20 crore mark, it will be Akshay Kumar's best opening since 2021, when Sooryavanshi had revived Bollywood after lockdowns with a ₹26.50 crore first day. That mark may just be a bridge too far for Housefull 5. However, the multistarrer will easily overtake the day 1 marks of Sky Force ( ₹11.50 crore) as well as other recent hits like Raid 2 ( ₹19.50 crore) and Fighter ( ₹22.50 crore). In 2025, only Salman Khan's Sikandar ( ₹26 crore) and Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava ( ₹31 crore) are looking like they will stay ahead of Housefull 5.
