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%)
Where is moron sunny akkiholic who point ajay devgn stardom ajay devgn is far far far bigger stardom than flopkumar he gave 32cr opener with faranchise 3yearz ago what did flopkumar with huge faranchize with multistarer hahahahaha now drop dead akshay fans
kiran @9:39 agree with you
Audience reaction is good . it will definitely cross 15 crore
Looks like my prediction for Houseful 3 become 100% Accurate again on very 1st day which was as below
HF3 :: around 100 ( < 130 Max ) Cr
MOHENJO DARO :: more than 181 Cr
With clash & Without EDX
That’s why Megastar Aamir Khan is living legend and Biggest Megastar of bollywood. When others work in franchise then it some times works and then sometimes flops badly, but when Megastar Aamir Khan came with franchise then the franchise got benefitted big time and shattered each and every record left right and center. That’s called Megastardom which no one except Megastar Aamir Khan has achieved. Dangal will be first movie to cross 350 cr and 400 cr domestic. No one can come close to the baap of Billy wood Aamir Khan.
Its housefull series noT GOLMAAL SERIES2 GET BUMPER OPENING….
Abey o @Rustom,, mere oopar ka comment padh, opening ka aukad dekh aur baad karna
opening shows stardom not lifetime collection
If lifetime collection ki baad karoge to shradda kapoor is bigger than akki
@abhishek hritikian yes the producers are stupid but why akshay kumar agreed to start the promotion of rustom so early. akshay as an actor and friend knows that this is wrong so why he does that did akshay have no brain in him or he is just showing to hrithik that i am a big star and you need to move your film from my date.this is what i call cheap stuff.#akshayloser
trailer and songs were lame and there are too much of english used in dialogues..single screens will not like the movie…still 100 cr can be achieved…
KRK thumbs up Hf3 means it is going to cross Rowdy sure
The trailer was Average
Nd also the songs wre not shown on music channels are the reason of average opening.
I will be disappointed if it will not cross 16 cr. I have just watched it ,I will post my short review on new article but just want to say housefull 3 is The best comedy movie in recent times nd will be loved by everyone….! And right now only this >>> _/\_ For akki.
Akki is still chaing DDLJ in verseas and u compare him with khans, lol
Aur kya non-holiday laga rakha hai,
Look at his holiday track
Aitraj- Diwali 2004
Garam Masala- Diwali 2005
Janeman(lol)- Diwali 2006
Blue- Diwali 2008
*Overseas
where is akshay fans,bros this filim surely cross 150 crore because it is best filim in housefull series.opening dosent matter becuse of average trailor and bad songs.
@romance,which criteria you ised man,airlift do 14 crore with clash in a non holiday,where clashed filim get 9 crore.if airlift reliseiin a partial holiday without clash like fan it surely collect above 20 crores with limited appeal.so dont over hype khans,the festivel heros.
FAN 1st day 19cr Jangal book 8cr so 27cr comes from 15th April ram nabami IPL otherwise FAN opening min 22cr
I predicted that the film wouldn’t work post its first weekend, but looks like H3 will crash from first day onward ! That’s incredible…
This really reminds us that SRK is far from being over. With no song, not a great promotion, no universal appeal and no co-star he got a very good opening. Now with an intensive promotion, a great cast and the franchise value, Akshay can’t even bring 15 cr… H3 looks like a sure shot flop !
omg I was not expecting such kind of opening..I was expecting 20/25 cr opening and 170/200 cr lifetime..from this flop opening even 100cr will be tough to do ..
one think is clear that people will not watch some bandargiri in the name of comedy..time for hide in gutter
@Rustom : Don’t forget that Akshay’s highest grosser didn’t even cross Dilwale’s lifetime !! Dilwale lost a clash, had terrible reviews, was a very bad movie and even suffered from protest, but still it’s a higher grosser than Rowdy Rathore… Don’t compare Akshay with King Khan !
Fan no song no great primotions limited screens still did 20cr business.. H3 had sings strong star cast franchise.. But still only 13_14 crores now you have to understand the power of king khan.. Stardom of star will be their for. 3 days after that content matters… Srk showed his stardom.. In the first 3 days..!
Wait for tomorrow
Its not real collections guys ok
WOM is good so collection is around 18-20 cr expect
This movie can be used as a synonym for crap cinema. This is not a good sign for dishoom as well which is on similar line as housefull.
So it means that MOHENJO DARO solo at BOX OFFICE
my predictions for Houseful 3 is 120 Cr let’s see what happen
Dear @INDICINE Akshay kumar is not Super star like ,Salman,srk , amir,hritik, and ajay devgen
Some fans compared Akki with SRK… Akki is Gud no doubt but SRK is best. FAN flop kya hui haters enjoyed it trolled SrK . EK BAAT YAAD RAKHAN TUMHARI KUSHI MAIN BHI SRK involve HE!!! Yaa Salman khan is getting gud box office results. I agree no doubt. but any SRK film which was universal after Chak De India. there was not one… So bass ek film ki deer he aaj Salman Aamir ka wakt tekh he. parr SRK IS STILL TOP. FAN got 19.5 crore opening with 3500 screens + comp. from Blockbuster Jungle Book.. partial holiday gone!!!! if Salman Khan is bigger star then SRK then why PRDP failed to beat HNY opening day record with 300-500 screens more than HNY both were released on Diwali .. Star Power is biggest opening. REST CONTENT IS KING.. so wait my friends. EVEN GAURI SHINDE FILM WHERE SRK IS DOING CAMEO WILL GET BIGGER OEPNNING THAN HOUSEFULL ! MAY EVEN BEAT SULTAN OPENNING DAY IF SRK ROLE IS FULL FLEDGED!
Boxofficeindia > 15.50 …actual will be 16 sir !
It is time pass & full of fun movie. I laughed so much after a long while watching a movie. Content wise it is better than Welcome Back specially second half. All depends on general WOM it should above 90 crs & cross FAN but looking at opening it seems difficult. Wait & watch !!!!!!!!!!
I don’t think comedy genre is working any more. House full 3 result will give a clear picture though movie is not as bad as some people commenting here !!!!!!!!!
Music & songs are not even noticeable, Akki costumes are worst, he was wearing pajamas & tracks in 80% of movie. Seems he saved a lot on producer’s money for costumes !!!!!!!
Some useless srk fan caling srk is king khan i want to asm them on which planet he is king if they are talking for bollywod so from last 8 yr he has not give. Hgty and you people still call king khan
Had ho gayi hai ab to apni udvana band karo don’t prove each and every day that you srk fan are biggest moron in this world
But xzone you pls continue to prove
Too much fun
