Housefull 3 had a strong Sunday with collections set to cross 20 crore nett. Sunday will be around 20.50 crore nett which would mean a weekend of 52 crore nett. The film recorded strong figures all over on Sunday with only East India being low but that are has under performed from day one. The big circuits like Mumbai, Delhi / UP and East Punjab showed big gains as did Central India.
This will be the highest single day ever for an Akshay Kumar starrer and the first time that an Akshay Kumar starrer has ever gone over 20 crore nett. The weekend is also the first time an Akshay Kumar starrer has crossed 50 crore nett. The numbers may not be huge in the context of business today with fils getting benefit of holidays and festive periods and going very high but it has beaten all records for an Akshay Kumar starrer.
The business on Sunday gives a better picture on the trend of the film as Saturday was limited growth. The film is for families so Sunday was also going to be the big growth rather than the Saturday which is more for youth driven films..
