Housefull 3 is struggling to meet expectations on Day 1 at the box office. The opening on Friday morning was good, but what was really expected out of the film was a excellent / bumper opening.
It was Akshay’s second film of the year after the critically acclaimed and commercial success of ‘Airlift’. ‘Housefull 3’ also belonged to a major comedy franchise and ‘Welcome Back’ last year had opened very well inspite of not featuring a major star. There hasn’t been a major release in the last 4-5 weeks either.
But as of 6PM on Friday evening, a 20 crore plus opening (which is what was expected) is certainly out of question and the film is looking at around 13-14 crore on Day 1 at the box office – unless there is a big jump in multiplex business in the night. (Night update below) This would mean, the collections would be about the same as ‘Welcome Back’ and below the first day collections of films like Brothers and Singh Is Bling (holiday release).
A big initial hasn’t come at Akshay Kumar strong holds like East Punjab, C.P Berar, C.I, which is surprising because ‘Housefull 3’ was a big film that was expected to open well across India.
Night update: Housefull 3 has shown decent growth in the night, which means the first day collections of the film is set to be around the 15-16 crore mark. It’s still about 15-20% below expectations, as advantage of a popular franchise is huge. The next two days will be crucial as the film will have to show a positive trend both on Saturday and Sunday to record a healthy first weekend total.
There are no major releases before Salman Khan’s Sultan in the first week of July, so Housefull 3 has ample time to sustain and grow. The trend over the next three days (including Monday) could well decide if the film can take advantage of open weeks throughout June.
Check out the opening day collections of all three Housefull films (growth over the previous film included in brackets – quite clearly, Housefull 3 hasn’t lived upto expectations even though it has recorded a good first day):
- Housefull (2010) - 9.41 crore
- Housefull 2 (2012) – 13.97 crore (48%)
- Housefull 3 (2016) – 15.21 crore (9%)
Will housefool3 beat shahcookz xhaust fan liftime
Only khans are garentee for excellent openning unless trailler well is received/chatburster music
As i expect after watching this today. I am afraid that Housefull 3 will decline from tromorrow at boxoffice. I don’t think it will work at boxoffice. This movie is such a irritating. Comedy sense are such a pathetic. There are total housefull of overacting and irritating sense. None of our friends in group has like the movie today. I don’t know why producers are investing in such crap movie like housefull 3. Totally dissapointed.
Monday onwards emptyhouses all over india
when a movie like housefull 3(universal appeal) with a succesful franchise too and a solo release is not working ,then how can a movie like rustom(limited mass appeal) can survive against md which has hritik (coming after 22 months) that too with a acclaim director aushotish
how can the makers of rustom be so stupid.
obviously neutral audience will prefer md because hritik is coming after almost 2 years and akki after 2 monts
i’m not talking against akki anything but producers of rustom are stupid
@ja wed
makki atleast hav a non festival 100cr movie. Wat abt ur shahcookan
Highly disappointed!!! I thought he is no more a 80cr club’s king after airlift success. But I was absolutely wrong..
Highly disappointed!!! I thought he is no more a 80cr club’s king after airlift success. But I was absolutely wrong.
Actors like hridick,makki n srkay can survive only with very gud/unique content
Mark my Word…!!!
Housefull 3 will be one of the top 3 grossers of 2016…!
at least 200 crores on the card
@indicine now do you really think post-ipl is 4th most successful period
while you are ignoring independence day
Sultan rules
Huge underperformance .Not expected this from a Superstar film
There cannot be a movie as crap as housefull 3. Even humshakaals looks classic infront of housefull 3. Total waisted of time and money.
After the disastrous start of HF 3, it’s proven now both global bhagoda & jokerboy are the kings of 80cr club..!!!
Days are gone when much awaited movies took openings. Now only Salman Khan movies can be predicted blindly to take bumper openings. This Man is family hero, lately got to know the real Indian Audience.
And yes Dangal and MD are only promising for big initials.
Spread the negativity as per instructions from your paymaster Queen Khan
HF 3 is struggling to go past even 15cr mark on opening day and his moronic fans have been continuously chanting 22cr/25cr opening day for it… Hahahaha.
If house half full has done 20 + opening credit goes to akki and the film dot doing so credit also goes to star power of akki
Chahe movie flop ho yaa producer road pe aa jayein, mereko toh bas paise se Matlab hain!!!
Hahaha mohenjo daro will do 400 cr and rustam will struggle for 20 cr plus. How dare you chakki to clash rustam with mohenjo daro. Flop kumar ki flop movie. Bas kar yar kitni flop movie dega. Aab tho Flop ko bhi saram aya hoga tera se. Housefull 3 lifetime will be like this-
1st day-13. 5 cr
2nd day-10. 5 cr
3rd day- 12 cr
1st weekend- 36 cr
1st week-51. 5 cr
2nd week-7. 5 cr
3rd week – 1 cr
total lifetime -60 cr.
Verdict- flop
Let the Excuses begin for “superstar” akshay kumar LOL
Flop
http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/prediction-top-15-biggest-openers-of-2016/comment-page-2/#comments And @indicine predicted 24cr opening day for HF 3….hahaha.
Hmmmmmmmmm………..Today i watched that movie and its good one……….Akshay is rocking.
Akki movies can never collect huge because he is an average star he has no stardom only 2007 was lucky for him otherwise he would have existed in sunil shetty league thanx to 2007

Highly disappointed with #indicine’s houseful 3 prediction. That 80cr club’s superstar touched 20cr mark for a single time only that too in a big holiday but #indicine predicts 24cr opening day for his non holiday release. It won’t even touch 20cr mark on opening day. Mark my word…”
This is my comment on this article http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/prediction-top-15-biggest-openers-of-2016/comment-page-3/#comments
The sad thing is, people think that it actually should be rejected due to content is king bullshit!!!
This is a COMEDY mass ENTERTAINER!!!
The only way to do comedy is to create funny situations which can’t be made with a solid story
This movie isn’t teaching anybody any lesson
It just wants people to have fun which they are having while watching…
Here in Pakistan, everyone was watching housefull 3 and loved it…
Look u people
I know srk is going thru a tough phase of his career, But he still has not fallen to Akki league.
Fan:
1. No big leading lady
2. No supporting star
3. Dull story- Seriously, who would be interested in a fans story
4. Only one repetative music
5. No promotion in tv, All Those promos and episodes of Kapil Sharma show, Comedy nights were shown some days after movie release
6. Wave of pathetic Dilwale, negativities,
7.Repeatative trailer, dialogue promos were released only 5 days prior to releas
8. IPL period
9. OUTSTANDING word of mouth of The jungle Book
10. Nocommercial ingridient
11. Negative WOM that set like fire from first show
12. Partial holiday but a lot of institutions were opened
But for HOUSEFULL 3
1. Akki back after blockbuster Airlift
2. One of must loved franchise
3. Massive promtion in tv before a month of release
4. Hottest heroines of world(not just of India)
5. Strong supporting Cast
6. No stupid Sajid Khan anymore
Still Fan opening> HF3
Today srk stardom is on wane more or little but he is still on top3 Got That
srk wid an offbeat film gave 19 cr whreas akki janab wid huge franchise, strong supporting cast, post ipl period wch today by indicine wz considrd 4th bigst favourable tym to release d movies bt d end rslt is- 13-14 CRS. now d akki fans will come to their real club nd dat is 70-80 cr club. akki continued his big budget movie bcmng flop though i liked airlift
