HOUSEFULL 3 Had Decent Day OneAkshay Kumar starrer 'Housefull 3' released yesterday in approximately 3700 screens in India. Film is latest installment of successful franchise so it is expected to open big but the real challenge is to score big lifetime number as such films do suffer due to bad reviews and not so great response from urban audience.
Film opened to subdued occupancy of 35% which improved through the day. Post evening film did score among multiplex family audience. Gujarat and Rajasthan were good but not a single territory was exceptional or up to the mark. Film collected good numbers in all mass circuits.
Film collected 15.21 cr nett on opening day which was 2nd best in 2016 behind SRK starrer 'Fan' and 2nd best ever for Akshay after 'Singh Is Bliing'. Now film needs big Saturday and Sunday in order to cross minimum 48-50 cr nett over weekend. In overseas too, film scored in excess of 4 cr on opening day.
