Housefull 5 Five-Week Box Office Collection: To Beat Bajirao Mastani and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 To Enter Top 50 Highest Net-Grossing Hindi Movie List?
BY SACNILK
Mumbai, July 11 - Akshay Kumar's comedy thriller Housefull 5 has completed five weeks at the box office. Despite the mixed reception, the movie has managed to earn a decent success. It has emerged as the biggest grosser for Akshay Kumar since Sooryavanshi (2021) at the global box office. ## At one point, it looked like Housefull 5 would be able to outgross Sooryavanshi's final worldwide gross of 293 crores, but due to competition and mixed word of mouth, the pace got slow at the box office. It will finish as the second biggest grosser for the superstar in the post-pandemic world, just short of Sooryavanshi at around 290 crores. ## Nonetheless, Housefull 5 has an outside chance to beat Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and Priyanka Chopra's Bajirao Mastani (184.30 crores net) and Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (184.32 crores net) at the domestic box office to enter the top 50 biggest Hindi net grosser list. The movie needs another 1 crore net to surpass these two films, which looks extremely difficult, but might get there if it manages to stay in theatres for a few more weeks on limited theatres. In terms of India gross collection, Bajirao Mastani will remain ahead as tax rates were much higher when it was released in 2015. ## How much did Housefull 5 earn at the Indian box office in 5 weeks (35 days)? ## Housefull 5 is nearing its box office journey as it earned around 35 lakh in its 5th week, a massive drop of around 85% from the last week. It has earned approximately 183.30 crores net collection (218.35 crores gross) at the domestic box office and around 289 crores worldwide after 5 weeks. ## As said, the movie will finish below the 290 crores gross mark globally, as the second biggest Bollywood grosser of the year behind Chhaava (808 crores worldwide). With this collection, HF5 could have emerged as a box office hit, but the cost involved was much higher than any other comedy entertainer. ## Stay tuned...
