Welcome To The Jungle, the third installment in the popular comedy franchise, has officially completed its second Monday in theaters. While the film saw a decent second weekend, the transition into the work week has brought a significant decline in its collection momentum. On its 11th day, the movie earned a net of ₹2.65 Cr across India from 5,972 shows. This represents a 72.8% drop from the second Sunday net of ₹9.75 Cr, which is a fairly steep fall even by weekday standards for a big-budget ensemble film. With this addition, the total net collection in India has reached ₹117.55 Cr. When we look at the gross figures, the domestic total stands at ₹139.90 Cr. Internationally, early estimates indicate that the film added ₹0.50 Cr on its 11th day, bringing the total overseas gross to ₹30.45 Cr. According to data provided by Venky Box Office, the film earned $52K [approx ₹44L] in North America on Sunday, taking its total in that region to $1.09M [approx ₹9.07 Cr]. Collectively, the worldwide gross collection for Welcome To The Jungle now stands at ₹170.35 Cr. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The digital ticket tracking on BookMyShow also reflects this slowing pace. On its second Monday, the platform recorded 46.01K ticket sales, which is a sharp drop from the 139.57K tickets sold on the second Sunday. This brings the total BookMyShow sales to approximately 21.08 lakh tickets. Interestingly, when compared to other major releases in the 2025-26 period, Welcome To The Jungle missed a spot in the top 10 list for second Monday BMS sales. It currently sits at the 11th position, trailing behind films like Housefull 5 and Jolly LLB 3. Looking at the performance within major national chains, the numbers remained modest. PVR recorded about 3,500 ticket sales, resulting in a gross of approximately ₹10.6L from 846 shows with 2.3% occupancy. INOX saw nearly 3,400 tickets sold, bringing in roughly ₹7.4L across 730 shows at 2.4% occupancy. Cinepolis contributed around 1,600 tickets for a gross of about ₹3.4L from 433 shows with 1.8% occupancy. In total, these top three chains accounted for approximately 8,500 tickets and a gross of roughly ₹21.35L from about 2,000 shows, with an overall occupancy of around 2.22%. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The regional occupancy report for the Hindi 2D version shows that Mumbai was the best-performing major market with 14.5% occupancy across 430 shows, peaking at 21% during night screenings. The National Capital Region followed with 12.8% occupancy from 654 shows. Pune also showed some resilience with 13.5% occupancy. However, the film faced a tougher time in Gujarat, where Ahmedabad recorded 8.3% occupancy and Surat dropped to a low of 4.0%. Across most regions, the night shows saw the highest footfalls, while morning shows generally stayed in the single digits.

Welcome To The Jungle, the third installment of the beloved comedy franchise, has successfully navigated its second weekend at the box office, hitting a significant milestone in the process. After a steady first week that brought in ₹93.15 Cr, the film has now officially crossed the ₹100 Crore net mark in India. This achievement is particularly noteworthy as it marks Akshay Kumar’s 21st film to enter the prestigious 100 Crore club, further solidifying his position as one of the most consistent stars in the industry. The second weekend began on a slightly quieter note on Friday with a net collection of ₹4.50 Cr, showing an 18.2% drop from the previous day. However, the film witnessed a strong resurgence as the weekend progressed. On Saturday, collections jumped by 66.7% to reach ₹7.50 Cr, and the growth continued into Sunday with a final net collection of ₹9.75 Cr, representing a 30.0% rise. By the end of its 10th day, the domestic net total stands at ₹114.90 Cr, while the India gross has reached ₹136.80 Cr across a massive 95,403 shows since its release.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In the national chains including PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, Sunday emerged as the strongest day of the second weekend. On Day 10, these major multiplexes sold approximately 39,000 tickets, resulting in a gross collection of ₹1.30 Cr.

Regional occupancy data for Day 10 highlights a strong performance in major circuits. Ahmedabad was a standout performer with 38.8% occupancy across 380 shows, even reaching as high as 62% for evening screenings. The National Capital Region (NCR) saw 32.0% occupancy from 639 shows, while Mumbai and Pune maintained steady levels at 31.0% and 33.3%, respectively. This consistent interest across urban centers helped the film push past the 100 Crore barrier during the weekend.

While the domestic gross has reached a final figure of ₹136.80 Cr, the international numbers for the second Sunday are currently based on early estimates. The film is estimated to have added ₹1.00 Cr from overseas markets on Day 10, bringing the total international gross to ₹29.95 Cr. This pushes the overall worldwide gross to approximately ₹166.75 Cr. In the North American circuit, data shared by Venky Box Office indicates that the film collected $73K on Saturday, taking its total in that region to a cumulative $1.04M. In addition to his domestic success, Akshay Kumar has reached a significant international milestone with this release. Following the performance of Bhooth Bangla earlier this year, Welcome To The Jungle has become his 31st film to gross over $1 million in the North American market. This achievement further narrows the gap in the list of highest $1M+ grossers by Bollywood actors in North America, where he now trails only Shah Rukh Khan, who currently holds the top spot with 32 films. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) This performance has allowed Welcome To The Jungle to secure a spot among Akshay Kumar's most successful films in the post-pandemic era.

While the second weekend numbers are decent, the trade will be looking at how well it holds on the weekdays to see if it can challenge the lifetime collections of Jolly LLB 3 or even OMG 2 in the coming weeks.

Welcome To The Jungle, the third installment in the beloved comedy franchise, has officially entered its second week at the box office. As of its eighth day, the film is showing steady legs despite a significant shift in the theatrical landscape. On Friday, July 3, the movie faced its first major hurdle with the release of the female-led spy thriller Alpha, which led to a noticeable reduction in its show count across the country. To put this into perspective, the film was running with 9,917 shows on Thursday, but this number dropped to 7,557 shows on Friday. Despite losing nearly 2,400 shows, the film managed to hold its ground reasonably well. Talking about the numbers, Welcome To The Jungle collected 4.50 crore net on its second Friday. This represents an 18.2 percent drop from the previous day, where it had earned 5.50 crore. While any drop in the second week is worth noting, a dip of less than 20 percent on a day when a new competitor arrives suggests that the film still has a dedicated audience. This Day 8 performance has pushed the total India net collection to 97.65 crore, placing it right on the doorstep of the coveted 100-crore club, which it should comfortably cross over the second weekend. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) When we look at the gross figures, the domestic total has reached 116.27 crore. The overseas market contributed another 1.00 crore on Friday, bringing the total international gross to 27.45 crore. Combining these figures, the worldwide gross collection now stands at an impressive 143.72 crore. For a comedy entertainer with a massive ensemble cast, these numbers reflect a consistent global interest that has spanned over 83,000 shows since its release. In the national multiplex chains, which include PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the film saw focused activity. For the second Friday, these chains collectively sold 13,000 tickets, generating a gross of approximately 42 lakhs across 2,000 shows. The occupancy in these premium venues averaged around 3.5 percent. PVR led the contributions with 19.5 lakhs from roughly 840 shows, followed by INOX with 15 lakhs from 700 shows, and Cinepolis adding 7.6 lakhs from 460 shows. While the occupancy rates in multiplexes were on the lower side during the day, the evening and night shows showed much better momentum. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Regional occupancy trends highlight where the film is currently thriving. Bengaluru emerged as the strongest performer with an overall occupancy of 21.3 percent, peaking at a solid 32 percent during night shows. Other major hubs like the National Capital Region and Mumbai recorded overall occupancies of 16 percent and 13.8 percent respectively. Interestingly, Ahmedabad showed a significant jump in the night, moving from a 3 percent morning occupancy to 27 percent by the end of the day. This trend of night-time growth is a positive sign for the film's prospects over Saturday and Sunday. The digital engagement on BookMyShow also provides a clear picture of its standing among the year's big releases. On its second Friday, the platform recorded 77,190 tickets sold, bringing the total ticket count on the site to over 17.89 lakhs. In the context of second-friday ticket sales for the 2025-26 period, Welcome To The Jungle currently ranks at the eleventh spot. While it sits behind heavy hitters like Dhurandhar and Chhaava, it is maintaining a similar pace to other major sequels like Raid 2.

The movie has been in the news for a long time and it was officially confirmed by Salman Khan himself in December last year. ## Salman Khan, along with Anil Kapoor and Fardeen Khan has already been confirmed to return in the sequel, tentatively titled No Entry Mein Entry.

I have met Salman Bhai four to five times and told him that we have to start this film soon now".## "I have the script and now it is up to Salman if he wants to do it and when he wants to do it... The No Entry Mein Entry script that I have is better than the No Entry one. It is 10 times funnier than No Entry, but the film to be made completely depends on Salman, it can be made only with him", Boney Kapoor had said according to DNA.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, Dec 25 (IANS) Bollywood actress Lara Dutta, who plays the role of late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in Akshay Kumar-starrer 'Bell Bottom', recalls her experience of working in the movie which has its world TV premiere on December 26. ## She says bringing the character on-screen was challenging and full of responsibility. ## Lara says: "Working on 'Bell Bottom' was a challenging yet fulfilling experience. It was a huge responsibility to do justice to the role of Indira Gandhi ji and make it convincing to the audience. Ranjit Tiwari and I sat for hours and saw Mrs Gandhi's footage to get the nuances right. My father was her pilot so I grew up listening to her stories and how she spoke to everyone so that helped as well. And when I saw myself on screen, and the reactions that followed, it was all worth it." ## Directed by Ranjit Tiwari, the film stars Akshay Kumar playing the role of Anshul Malhotra whose life takes an important turn as he joins RAW and embarks on his very first mission as 'Agent Bell Bottom'. It also features Huma Qureshi as RAW personnel and Vaani Kapoor as Anshul's wife Radhika. ## The actress adds: "When Akshay first called me for the film during the pandemic and spoke about the character of Mrs Gandhi, I almost thought it was a joke because the entire industry was shut down and we didn't know how we would film. But taking up this part was a no-brainer. I wanted to do something different, and to portray Mrs Gandhi was an opportunity of a lifetime and a moment I will cherish forever. ## "This is my 13th film with Akshay Kumar in my 18-year career so that made it even more special. We all quarantined together for 14 days before the shoot began so it was like a mini holiday, and the on-screen rapport between us worked so well because we got to spend so much time with each other even before the shoot began." ## 'Bell Bottom' will see its world television premiere on December 26 at 12 noon on Sony MAX.## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk For More Such Updates.
