'Housefull 5' Box Office collection day 18: Akshay Kumar’s film slows down, earns Rs 1.15 crore on third Monday

Akshay Kumar’s ‘Housefull 5’ is now facing a steady dip in box office numbers. After enjoying a strong 17-day run, the comedy film is slowly losing its shine, especially after the release of Aamir Khan’s new film ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’.A good start but now slipping‘Housefull 5’ opened well and collected a solid Rs 176.10 crore (India net) in its first 17 days. It gave fans of the franchise a familiar dose of comedy and chaos, with a star-studded cast and entertaining moments. However, the box office buzz is now fading.On Day 18, which was the third Monday, the film only earned Rs 1.15 crore, according to early estimates by Sacnilk. Weekend was better, weekdays are toughThe film did manage to bring in more audiences over the weekend.

On Saturday day 16, it collected Rs 2.5 crore, and on Sunday day 17, the collections rose to Rs 3.5 crore. But Monday’s drop suggests that fewer people are heading to the theatres during the week. With this, the total India net collection now stands at Rs 177.25 crore, according to Sacnilk.Competition from Aamir Khan’s filmThe drop in collection for ‘Housefull 5’ also seems linked to the release of Aamir Khan’s ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, which hit cinemas on June 20.

Since its release, the film has been attracting steady crowds and pulling viewers away from ‘Housefull 5’.Low occupancyAccording to Sacnilk, ‘Housefull 5’ had an overall Hindi occupancy of 13.32% on Monday, June 23, 2025, across all screenings in India. The morning shows saw a low turnout with just 6.85% occupancy. Audience numbers picked up slightly in the later parts of the day, with 15.23% in the afternoon, 15.34% in the evening, and 15.87% during night shows.

Packed with stars and laughsOne of the major highlights of ‘Housefull 5’ is its massive star cast. The film features a long list of popular actors, including Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, and Sanjay Dutt. Alongside them are Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, and Soundarya Sharma. That’s not all. The film also stars veterans like Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, Chunky Panday, Johnny Lever, and Shreyas Talpade. Adding more names to the list are Dino Morea, Ranjeet, Nikitin Dheer, Chitrangda Singh, and Fardeen Khan.As if the competition from ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ wasn’t enough, ‘Housefull 5’ now has more challenges coming its way. Upcoming big releases like ‘Maa’ and ‘F1: The Movie’ are expected to take over many screens and further cut into its earnings.
