Houseful has recorded the second best ever collections for the opening weekend, beating films like Aamir Khan’s Ghajini and Shahrukh Khan’s My Name Is Khan. 3 Idiots though, is comfortably ahead, netting 20% more than the second best.
With lower costs (Akshay didn’t charge a penny for the film, instead opted for a share in profit), Housefull is likely to be Akshay’s first clean-hit since Singh Is King (2008).
Below is the list of the Top 10 biggest openers ever courtesy BOI. Akshay has four films in the top 10, Aamir and SRK have two, Saif Ali Khan and Ranbir Kapoor have one each.

@INDICINE: y r u not replying? i have been asking u how much does it need to be a hIT ?? is it already a HIT ? but no replies from ur end
Housefull remained steady on Monday and recorded very good business of around the 5-5.25 crore nett mark. The film now is a certain hit and may be on its way to becoming the biggest hit of 2010 and Super Hit status.
The fim showed a drop of around 40-45% from its Friday business which is very good. All circuits were steady and some showed very small drops. CI was 34 lakhs on Friday and 23 lakhs on Monday which is just 33% drop. Nizam was 44 lakhs on Friday and 27 lakhs on Monday which is 39% drop. Rajasthan and CP Berar droped most at with 50% drops.
The four day business of the film is around the 36.50 crore nett mark and another 12-13 crore nett should be added over the weekdays which will enable the film to get close to the 50 crore nett in its first week. The lifetime business is hard to judge this early but it seems like Housefull film may cross 80 crore nett mark.
i dont think its a hit nor it wiii be ..the buzzz of the movie isnt there .there is no good mouth to mouth publicity
