The highly anticipated comedy film "Housefull 5" was released in theatres on June 6, generating considerable fanfare. The film's trailer has created significant buzz among audiences, setting expectations for a strong performance at the Indian box office.

Early box office predictions for "Housefull 5" are optimistic. Trade analyst Rohit Jaiswal projects an opening day collection between Rs 20 crore and Rs 22 crore (nett) in India. Other reports suggest the film could reach around Rs 24 crore (nett) on its first day, supported by robust advance bookings exceeding 2.50 lakh tickets and anticipated strong walk-in audiences, particularly in B and C centres. Key factors contributing to this positive outlook include its appeal as a comedy for all audiences, the established brand value of the "Housefull" franchise, its strategic Friday release leading into the weekend, and the current high demand for franchise films.

If these projections materialize, "Housefull 5" is poised to surpass the opening day collections of Akshay Kumar’s recent film, "Kesari Chapter 2," which earned Rs 7.75 crore on its first day. It is also expected to achieve a better opening than "Khel Khel Mein," which collected Rs 5 crore on its debut. For Akshay Kumar, "Housefull 5" signifies his return to the comedy genre in a lively role following "Khel Khel Mein."

The film aims to secure the highest-ever day 1 collection for the "Housefull" franchise, potentially outperforming "Housefull 4." Released in 2019, "Housefull 4" holds the current record with an opening of Rs 19.08 crore. An opening of Rs 24 crore for "Housefull 5" would mark an impressive increase of approximately 26% over its predecessor.

The "Housefull" series has a history of strong opening day performances. Previous installments recorded the following net collections in India on their first day: "Housefull" (2010) earned Rs 10 crore, "Housefull 2" (2012) collected Rs 14 crore, "Housefull 3" (2016) garnered Rs 15.21 crore, and "Housefull 4" (2019) made Rs 19.08 crore.

"Housefull 5" is a comedy-drama directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. The plot centers on the ensuing chaos when a billionaire is found deceased aboard a luxury cruise ship. The ensemble cast features Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Jackie Shroff, Fardeen Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Nana Patekar. A unique aspect of this installment is its release in two different versions, including distinct endings, offering a novel cinematic experience.
