Housefull 5 Surpasses Red 2's Lifetime Collection Despite Declining Earnings

Housefull 5 Surpasses Red 2's Lifetime Collection Despite Declining Earnings

Akshay Kumar's film 'Housefull 5' continues to be a topic of discussion among viewers. This suspense-comedy thriller successfully earned a significant amount in its opening week.

Housefull 5 Box Office Collection Day 13: Akshay Kumar's multi-starrer film 'Housefull 5' remains a hot topic at the box office. Although its earnings are now declining, the film still set a new record on its 13th day. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, this high-budget comedy-thriller surpassed the lifetime collection of Ajay Devgn's 'Red 2', securing the title of the second biggest hit film of 2025.

Lowest Earnings on Day 13, Yet a Record Remains

The earnings of 'Housefull 5' have been gradually declining during the second week. While the film performed exceptionally well in its first week, its hold appears to be weakening in the second week. According to Sacnilk's report, the film earned only ₹3 crore on its 13th day, the lowest so far. Despite this, the film crossed the ₹173.89 crore mark, surpassing 'Red 2', which had a total collection of ₹172.87 crore.

₹173.89 Crore Earned in 13 Days, But Budget Still Far Off

It is noteworthy that 'Housefull 5' was made on a hefty budget of approximately ₹240 crore. Therefore, the film needs to gross at least ₹250-260 crore to be classified as a hit. While the film has recouped more than half of its cost, it still needs to earn approximately ₹70 crore more, which seems challenging considering the current trend.

Why Did 'Housefull 5' Become a Viewer Favorite?

  • Similar to previous films in the 'Housefull' franchise, the makers have blended comedy, mystery, and thrill effectively.
  • The film's unique selling point is its twisted double ending, a major draw for audiences.
  • The presence of stars like Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Kriti Sanon, Pooja Hegde, and Sanjay Dutt gave the film an initial boost.
  • Furthermore, the cinematography and set design of 'Housefull 5' have been widely appreciated.

Will 'Zara Hatke Zara Bachke' Pose a Challenge to 'Housefull 5'?

Aamir Khan's 'Zara Hatke Zara Bachke' is releasing in theaters from June 20th, generating significant excitement among viewers. The film has captivated not only children and families but also critics, who are praising its content. This could directly impact 'Housefull 5's screen sharing and audience traffic. If 'Zara Hatke Zara Bachke' receives a good opening response, 'Housefull 5's earnings might decline further from the 14th day onwards.

In the 2025 box office list, 'Chhava' is currently at the top with earnings of ₹601.54 crore. 'Housefull 5' has secured second place but now faces a battle to maintain its position. Based on the current trend:

  • First Week: Approximately ₹125 crore
  • Second Weekend: Approximately ₹35 crore
  • 13th Day: ₹3 crore
  • According to this tracking, the film needs a miraculous turnaround in the third weekend.
