Housefull 5 stayed good on Wednesday as Rs. 9.40 crores came in. It was a regular weekday for the film as there was no post Eid effect or discounted ticket rates coming into picture. What the film needed was to stay as close to double digit numbers as possible and while Rs. 10 crores would have been even better, what it gathered was good enough as well since there wasn’t any major drop evidenced.

Today, the film may see a bit of a drop as well since the week is coming to a close but then from tomorrow onwards there would be a rise in numbers again. As long as second Friday is close to today, the film would be on the right trajectory and by the look of things that would be possible as well since there is no new release either, be it from Bollywood, Hollywood or south. Over the weekend, the film will see a big push in collections due to family audiences getting back to theatres in good numbers, and that will take it closer towards the Rs. 200 crores mark.

So far, the film has collected Rs. 126.08 crores and by the close of week it would have gone by the lifetime collections of Rowdy Rathore (Rs. 133 crores), hence getting into Akshay Kumar’s Top-10 highest grossers ever. By the close of second week, the film would be amongst his Top-5 biggest grossers ever as it would have gone past 2.0 [Hindi] lifetime (Rs. 189 crores).

Note: All collections as per various box office sources
