The massive action-comedy entertainer Welcome to the Jungle has set the global box office on fire on its very first day of theatrical release. Spearheaded by Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar alongside an incredible multi-star ensemble cast including Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, and Raveena Tandon, the highly anticipated film franchise has safely delivered a blockbuster start. Helmed by filmmaker Ahmed Khan, the movie managed to overcome all initial challenges and advanced booking hurdles to record phenomenal footfalls right from its morning shows. On its opening day, the third installment of the beloved comedy series collected an outstanding fifteen crore rupees net at the domestic box office across nearly eleven thousand screens nationwide. When factoring in the highly successful paid preview screenings held on Thursday evening, which brought in an additional three point seven five crore rupees, the total Indian net collection officially stands at a resounding eighteen point seven five crore rupees.
This magnificent commercial debut has allowed the film to shatter the opening day milestones of several major recent releases, firmly establishing it as the third-biggest Bollywood opener of the year. Most notably, the movie has comfortably surpassed the first-day business of Akshay Kumar’s own previous horror-comedy hit Bhooth Bangla, which opened to sixteen crore rupees including its previews. Furthermore, the chaotic comic caper successfully outpaced the double-digit initial run of the recently released romantic drama Cocktail 2, which had minted thirteen point five zero crore rupees on its first day. Trade analysts note that the immense mass pull of the franchise name combined with the public holiday for Muharram greatly benefited ticket sales, triggering a massive surge in single-screen theaters across traditional mass belts like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Rajasthan as the opening day progressed.
The cinematic project is proving to be a global phenomenon as well, finding tremendous love among international audiences. On its first day, the film added a stellar six point five zero crore rupees gross from overseas markets alone, while its domestic gross collection comfortably marched to twenty-two point five zero crore rupees. This brings the grand worldwide box office gross total for the first day to an eye-popping twenty-nine crore rupees. Theater occupancy across major multiplex chains in metro cities scaled up steadily from eleven percent in the morning to nearly thirty percent by the evening and night shows. With such phenomenal global momentum on day one and an inherently positive word-of-mouth wave among family crowds, trade experts strongly predict that the comedy venture will witness unprecedented growth over its first weekend, setting it up for a historically profitable long-term theatrical run.
