Housefull 5 Box Office Dominance and Record-Breaking Collections
Superstar Akshay Kumar’s Housefull Five continues its strong run at the box office, with its collections breaking records daily. The film has completely dominated the box office, delivering robust earnings in India and overseas. Housefull Five marks Akshay Kumar’s highest-grossing film since the pandemic.
Housefull 5 Outperforms Thug Life in Box Office Clash
Housefull Five has significantly outperformed Kamal Haasan’s Thug Life. Thug Life, a pan-India film, was released a day before Housefull Five. While Thug Life collected a certain amount in 7 days, Housefull Five achieved double that collection in just 6 days. Housefull Five, released exclusively in Hindi, collected almost double the earnings of Thug Life (released in four to five languages) within 6 days compared to Thug Life‘s 7-day collections, despite both films having similar budgets.
Thug Life’s Seven-Day Worldwide Box Office Performance
Directed by Mani Ratnam, Thug Life was released on June 5th in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, and Malayalam across a total of four languages. The film’s budget is ₹200 crore. In its initial five days, Thug Life recorded an India net collection of ₹42 crore 21 lakh. On its sixth day, the film’s collection across India was ₹1 crore 97 lakh. The estimated collection for the seventh day is ₹1 crore 50 lakh from all languages across India, due to a significant drop in occupancy.
The total India net collection for Thug Life after 7 days stands at ₹45 crore 68 lakh. Its India gross collection reached ₹54 crore 36 lakh. The overseas gross collection for the film was ₹41 crore 22 lakh. Consequently, Thug Life managed to earn only ₹95 crore 58 lakh worldwide in 7 days, proving to be a major box office disaster. The film did not even earn half of its budget within one week.
