Welcome To The Jungle Box Office: Akshay Kumar's comedy drama registers big drop on 3rd Friday
Akshay Kumar's Welcome To The Jungle, witnessed a nearly 75 per cent drop on 3rd Friday, which limited its chances to emerge as a Hit venture.
Welcome To The Jungle collected Rs. 1 crore on its third Friday, registering a 40 per cent drop from the second Thursday. The week-on-week drop is around 75 per cent, which is huge. The dip came mainly due to losing screens to Dhamaal 4. The running cume of Welcome To The Jungle now stands at Rs. 122.25 crore nett at the Indian box office.
Directed by Ahmed Khan, the comedy drama is expected to close this weekend around Rs. 5 crore nett, which will take its entire running cume to Rs. 127 crore nett or so. Based on its current trends, the film is expected to close around Rs. 135 crore nett, which will be short of Rs. 170 crore nett of Bhooth Bangla and Rs. 168 crore nett of Housefull 5. The film seemed poised to be a HIT film after Monday, but now it is pretty much ruled out. It is still a success but unlikely to be a HIT.
Fortunately, the costs involved are very reasonable despite being a film from a big brand, i.e., Welcome. Had the film cost as much as Housefull 5, it would have been tough for it. Looking from other pov, while the low costs have made the film a success, the grosses are a bit of a disappointment for the brand value of Welcome.
The original Welcome was amongst the biggest grossers of all time, while the second one, despite not having Akshay Kumar in the lead, managed to open strongly and put up good final numbers. In that context, this one is a bit underwhelming.
The Box Office Collections of Welcome to the Jungle in India are as follows:
| Day | Nett |
|---|---|
| Week One | Rs. 92.25 cr. |
| Week Two | Rs. 29.00 cr. |
| 3rd Friday | Rs. 1.00 cr. (est.) |
| Total | Rs. 122.25 cr. |
