Akshay Kumar’s much-anticipated comedy blockbuster Housefull 5 has delivered a strong opening weekend at the Indian box office. With a blend of slapstick humour and a murder-mystery twist set aboard a luxury cruise ship, the film drew audiences in large numbers across both urban and rural belts.
According to early estimates, the film raked in Rs 29.25 crore on Sunday, pushing its total first weekend collection to an impressive Rs 79.75 crore.
Housefull 5 day 3 box office collection
Housefull 5 opened with Rs 22 crore on Friday and witnessed a healthy jump on Saturday (Bakri Eid), earning Rs 28.50 crore. The momentum continued on Sunday, reaching Rs 29.25 crore. Though slightly short of the ideal Rs 85 crore weekend benchmark, the trend has remained positive. The real challenge now lies in its weekday performance, particularly the crucial Monday test.
If the film manages to collect in the Rs 10 crore range on Monday and continues steady through Thursday, it is expected to close its first week around Rs 114 crore. A strong Monday could also set the stage for the film to cross the Rs 200 crore mark in its lifetime run, potentially making it the highest-grossing film in the Housefull franchise.
Housefull 5 marks Second-Biggest Bollywood Weekend of 2025
Housefull 5 has already made its mark as the third-largest Bollywood opener of 2025, trailing behind Chhaava (₹31 crore) and Sikandar (₹26 crore). It also logged the second-highest weekend collection of the year, just behind Chhaava’s staggering ₹121.43 crore.
In terms of occupancy, Housefull 5A recorded a national average of 39.52% on Sunday, with evening shows seeing a significant surge at 54.77%. The alternate version, Housefull 5B, logged a comparatively modest 24.49% overall occupancy, peaking at 36.40% during the evening shows.
Housefull 5 cast and climax twist
Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, Housefull 5 adds a fresh twist to the franchise by introducing two different versions — Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B — each with a different killer reveal, enhancing its rewatch value. The film stars Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh in lead roles, joined by Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, and Nana Patekar.
The film hit theatres worldwide on June 6 and continues to draw attention for its unique narrative format and ensemble cast. With positive audience response and steady box office momentum, all eyes are now on its weekday hold to determine just how far this cruise sails.
