Akshay Kumar’s comedy Welcome To The Jungle is pulling in strong numbers on its third day, with a net collection of about Rs 4.75 crore by 11 a.m. on Sunday. The film posted Rs 2.36 crore on Friday morning and Rs 2.81 crore on Saturday morning, making Sunday’s early earnings a jump of roughly 101 percent from Friday and 69 percent from Saturday. The rise signals a solid weekend turnout for the family‑friendly entertainer.
Sunday surge lifts Welcome To The Jungle
Morning shows on Sunday opened to roughly 16 percent occupancy, while early‑afternoon screenings saw occupancy climb to about 25 percent. Those figures suggest that the typical Sunday family audience is arriving in larger numbers, especially for the afternoon and evening slots that usually drive the best footfalls for such films.
Industry trackers predict that the film could cross the Rs 25 crore nett mark on Day 3 if the afternoon, evening and night shows maintain the current growth trend. A strong Sunday total would allow the movie to close its opening weekend on a healthy note after a modest Friday and a better Saturday.
Regional buzz and city‑wise performance
Among Indian states, Maharashtra, the National Capital Region (NCR) and Gujarat emerged as the top three contributors to the film’s collections. NCR even recorded higher occupancy than Maharashtra and Gujarat, continuing its strong trend since the opening day. In the urban arena, Mumbai, Delhi and Pune led the charge, each city posting occupancies in the 25‑30 percent range, a positive sign for the film’s performance in major markets.
National multiplex chains remain key drivers, with PVR INOX and Cinepolis together accounting for around Rs 2.35 crore – roughly half of the all‑India collections recorded up to that point. Pune’s steady hold, edging out Bengaluru on Saturday morning, further underscores the film’s appeal across different city audiences.
