The highly anticipated sitcom Welcome to the Jungle is bringing families back to theaters in droves. The third installment of the popular ‘Welcome’ series has managed to strike a chord with audiences, as it showed a stellar upward trajectory over its opening weekend.
Navigating initial screen-sharing challenges with the ongoing rollout of Shahid Kapoor starrer ‘Cocktail 2’, the Ahmed Khan directorial leveraged its massive multi-starrer appeal to post a whopping 31.1% growth on Saturday. With Sunday’s live tracking already reflecting the packed family audiences of morning shows, the film is poised to dominate before heading to its crucial weekday first test.The film looks good to deliver a final third day collection in the Rs 18-22 crore net range, which is generally in line with or exceeding Saturday’s figure.
This will take the three-day opening weekend domestic tally into the Rs 60-65 crore range, with the global total likely to cross the Rs 85-90 crore mark by the end of the weekend.

The chaotic plot follows a hilarious cover-up scheme in which a billionaire (or Dr. Ghungroo) sets up a fake multi-million dollar film destined to fail, assembling a highly unreliable crew – including a struggling failed hero – to execute the plan amid a wild jungle backdrop. After 18 major edits and adjustments proposed by the Censor Board which included changing political references and reducing sensual visual elements, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) released the collective comedy entertainer with a UA 16+ certificate and an official running time of 164 minutes and 50 seconds (2 hours and 44 minutes).Disclaimer: The box office numbers and data contained in this article are compiled from various public and industry sources.
