'Welcome to the Jungle' box office collection Day 2: Akshay Kumar starrer crosses Rs 63 crore net on its first Sunday

The highly anticipated comic caper 'Welcome to the Jungle' is driving families back to theatres in huge numbers. The third installment of the iconic 'Welcome' franchise has successfully struck a chord with audiences, showing an excellent upward trajectory over its opening weekend. Navigating the initial screen-sharing challenges with the ongoing run of the Shahid Kapoor starrer 'Cocktail 2,' the Ahmed Khan directorial capitalized on its massive multi-starrer appeal to post an explosive 31.1% growth on Saturday. With Sunday's live tracking already reflecting packed family audiences for matinee shows, the film is poised to for dominance before heading into the crucial first weekday test.The film looks well positioned to deliver a final Day 3 collection in the Rs 18–22 crore net range, broadly in line with or exceeding Saturday's figure. That would take the three-day opening weekend domestic net to the Rs 60–65 crore range, with the worldwide gross likely crossing the Rs 85–90 crore mark by the close of the weekend. Looking into the week ahead, the film's broad, multi-generational appeal positions it well to absorb the typical Monday correction better than more niche releases. A first-week domestic net in the Rs 90–100 crore range appears achievable if weekday holds remain healthy.'Welcome to the Jungle' opening day and Day 2 earnings'Welcome to the Jungle' opened on Friday with a domestic net of Rs. 15.25 crore across 10,892 shows nationwide, representing a striking 306.7% growth over its Thursday paid preview collections of Rs. 3.75 crore.

The chaotic plot follows a hilarious cover-up scheme where a billionaire (or Dr. Ghungroo) stages a fake, multi-crore film production destined to fail, rounding up an extremely unreliable crew—including a struggling flop hero—to execute the plan amidst a wild jungle backdrop. Following 18 major edits and modifications suggested by the censor board which included altering political references and trimming sensual visual elements, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) cleared the mass comedy entertainer with a UA 16+ certification and an official runtime of 164 minutes and 50 seconds (2 hours, 44 minutes).DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from diverse public and industry sources.
