Housefull 5 managed to show a good jump on Tuesday thanks to the discounted rates as it picked up 4-4.25 crore nett. This is a solid jump of 25% and it should ensure the film now crosses 150 crore nett in two weeks. The second week has so far picked up 32 crore nett and it could finish in the 37-38 crore nett range. The film stands at 145 crore nett till date.  

The film now needs a decent third Friday when Sitaare Zameen Par releases. If the film could up up a 2 crore nett third Friday then it will give the film shot at 170-175 crore nett which not be good but it will look reasonable. It wont be easy with the new film releasing even though Sitaare Zameen Pe is mainly for the metro crowd. The problem is that Housefull 5 probably does not have the appreciation to stand up against competition. There was a drop last week from Thursday to Friday so this week its likely the drop will be bigger.   

The fact that the film is a franchise is what makes the numbers of the film look low. If these numbers had come on a non franchise film even with the budget of this film they would have been seen has respectable numbers. Franchise films is where the industry is looking today but Housefull 5 shows if the content is not there then even franchise films will not emerge as HITS. The limited success of this film will not change the trend though for franchise films as they have more awareness which means better initial collections. The collections of Housefull 5 till date are as follows.
