Welcome To The Jungle Opening Weekend Box Office Collections: Akshay Kumar starrer nets Rs 63 crore in 3 days
The weekend trend has set the film to be a success, as if it performed on Bhooth Bangla trajectory, it will sail through and may even emerge as a HIT.
Welcome to the Jungle collected Rs. 24 crore nett approx on Sunday, closing its opening weekend at Rs. 63 crore nett approx. At one point, it seemed like the film may hit Rs. 25-26 crore nett for the day, but the night shows didn’t push that high. The weekend is 13 per cent higher than Bhooth Bangla. Friday, having a bit of holiday support, was 25 per cent ahead of Bhooth Bangla, while Saturday and Sunday were about 10 per cent up.
Continuing the comparison with Bhooth Bangla, Welcome has fared significantly better in the Hindi belt states of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, along with Gujarat. The two biggest markets of Maharashtra and Delhi-NCR were similar; the latter was affected due to a lesser release because of competition from holdover releases and Punjabi comedy Carry on Jatta 4. Carry On Jatta 4 also impacted it in East Punjab, where it probably lost Rs. 35-40 lakh nett on Sunday and nearly a crore over the weekend. The notable decline from Bhooth Bangla was in West Bengal, where the horror comedy generally fares better.
The weekend trend has set the film to be a success, as if it performed on Bhooth Bangla trajectory, it will sail through and may even emerge as a HIT. Bhooth Bangla managed to add Rs. 48 crore nett after the second week, which is what Welcome to the Jungle would probably require to do. That won’t be easy, however, because the film faces direct competition from another franchise comedy in the third week, which is going to be a major hurdle. How it is overcome will determine if the film can become a success or a HIT.
The Box Office Collections of Welcome to the Jungle in India are as follows:
| Day | Nett |
|---|---|
| Previews | Rs. 3.75 cr. |
| Friday | Rs. 15.25 cr. |
| Saturday | Rs. 20.00 cr. |
| Sunday | Rs. 24.00 cr. |
| Total | Rs. 63.00 cr. |
