After growing well on Blockbuster Tuesday with Rs. 4.40 crores* coming in, Housefull 5 stabilised on Wednesday with collections topping the Rs. 3 crores* mark. That was the need of the hour as well since on Monday the film had collected Rs. 3.80 crores* so something closer to that would have been a good weekday hold. That’s what happened as well, what with Rs. 3.20 crores* coming in.

This is where discounted ticket price on Tuesday helped the film as well because it has almost averaged out collections well and ensured that Thursday too will close in the whereabouts of Rs. 3 crores mark. It may be Rs. 10-20 lakhs lesser at most but still would do enough to ensure that the overall week comes out to be well. From here on, what would be seen quite closely is how does Friday turn out to be since shows would be reduced due to arrival of Sitaare Zameen Par. That said, all that the film needs is one dedicated screen at least per multiplex with 6-7 shows a day and that will keep the footfalls trickling in.

So far, the film has netted Rs. 174.09 crores and while the second weekend would close in the whereabouts of Rs. 177 crores, it has to be seen whether Rs. 190 crores mark would be hit by the time the third weekend ends. That would be the ideal number that the film would be aiming at, so that it can enter the Rs. 200 Crore Club by the close of third week.
