Housefull 6 Opens to ₹128 Crore Domestic in Week One, Keeps Franchise Alive
Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh and Bobby Deol's Housefull 6 posts a weekend-driven opening week of ₹128 crore domestic, with trade trackers projecting a comfortable Hit verdict.
Housefull 6 has closed out its opening week with a domestic total of ₹128 crore, giving the long-running comedy franchise its most consistent weekend-to-weekend hold in years.
An Unusual Opening Curve
Rather than front-loading collections on day one, Housefull 6 actually built through its first weekend — Sunday’s ₹31 crore outpaced Friday’s ₹22 crore by a wide margin, a pattern trade analysts point to as a sign of strong word-of-mouth among family audiences rather than pure opening-day hype.
Where the Numbers Stand
With a worldwide total of ₹188 crore against a ₹180 crore budget, the film has already crossed into profitability once overseas and satellite numbers are factored in. Trade trackers are projecting a further ₹20-30 crore domestically before the theatrical run winds down, which would put the franchise’s sixth entry among its stronger performers.
What It Means for the Franchise
The comedy genre has had an uneven run at the Hindi box office over the past year, making Housefull 6’s steady hold notable. Distributors are already citing the film’s performance as a case for greenlighting further ensemble comedies in the back half of 2026.
