Sajid Khan’s multi-starrer ‘Housefull 2’, which is a sequel to the 2010 film ‘Housefull’, has raked in an amount of over 42 crore in its opening weekend, thus making the film the second biggest opener of this year after ‘Agneepath’.

Apart from Sajid Khan, the film has also done a great job for Akshay Kumar because it has become his biggest opening ever. Moreover, it has brought the ‘Khiladi’ back under the main lights.

“The first day collections of the film were Rs. 14 crore. On Saturday, collections dropped slightly to Rs. 13 crore. On Sunday, Housefull 2 netted a total of Rs. 15 crore, taking its three-day total to Rs. 42 crore (approx. all-India net),” writes trade analyst Komal Nahta in koimoi.com.

“In terms of box-office records, Housefull 2 has the second best opening day collections of 2012, after Agneepath (Rs. 25 crore),” says Nahta.

The film is going strong in overseas also. “In addition, Housefull 2 collected Rs. 5.50 crore in the Overseas circuit over Thursday and Friday. In the UK, it collected £ 112,075 on Friday. In Australia, Housefull 2 collected A$ 73,143 on Friday. In New Zealand, the Friday collections were NZ$ 34,604. In the UAE, collections on Thursday were AED 725,000,” writes Nahta.

Well, all said and done, the director of the movie was pretty confident about the films prospect at the Box Office as he already claimed that ‘Housefull 2’ will be a blockbuster hit.

‘Housefull 2’, which was released on April 5, 2012, featured the likes of Akshay Kumar, Asin Thottumkal, John Abraham, Jacqueline Fernandez, Ritesh Deshmukh, Rishi Kapoor, Zarine Khan, Shreyas Talpade, Shazahn Padamsee, Mithun Chakraborty, Randhir Kapoor and Boman Irani.

The film is still doing a great job in the theatres but crossing Rs. 100 crore mark still looks something very difficult for it.
