Akshay Kumar’s comedy film Housefull 5 witnessed a significant decline at the box office during its third weekend. The arrival of Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par has directly impacted its earnings. While the film opened strong in its first week, its total domestic net collection now stands at ₹159 crore.
Aamir Khan’s Film Slows Down Housefull 5’s Run
The release of Sitaare Zameen Par has clearly dented the performance of Housefull 5. The film could collect only ₹6.90 crore during its third weekend, including an estimated ₹2.90 crore on Sunday. This sharp drop is notable when compared to the film’s initial pace.
17th Day and Three-Week Performance of Housefull 5
In the first week, Housefull 5 collected ₹114.40 crore. It added ₹37.35 crore in the second week. In its third weekend, the film collected ₹1.60 crore on Friday, ₹2.40 crore on Saturday, and an estimated ₹2.90 crore on Sunday. With this, the film’s total net collection in India stands at ₹158.90 crore.
Will It Touch ₹170 Crore?
The film is expected to close its theatrical run around ₹170 crore in India. While this is a decent figure considering mixed audience reactions, it falls short of the ₹200 crore benchmark many expected from an Akshay Kumar starrer. As it stands, Housefull 5 is likely to be declared an average performer.

Conclusion
Produced by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, Housefull 5 is heading toward an average verdict at the box office. Although it may recover its cost and break even, it is unlikely to match the lifetime business of its predecessor Housefull 4.
