Welcome To The Jungle Posts Strong Early Box Office, Two‑Day Global Gross Near Rs 57.5 Crore

Sacnilk data shows a Saturday surge to roughly Rs 57.5 crore worldwide as producers dispute opening‑day totals and the film must hold through weekdays to cover its reported Rs 250–300 crore cost

Overview

  • The film opened in theatres on Friday, June 26, with paid previews the night before that earned about Rs 3.75 crore according to industry tracker Sacnilk.
  • Sacnilk reports a Day 1 India nett of about Rs 15 crore and a Day 2 jump to Rs 20 crore, giving a two‑day India nett of roughly Rs 39 crore and a two‑day worldwide gross near Rs 57.5 crore.
  • Producers issued a press note claiming a different Day 1 worldwide figure of Rs 27.60 crore, creating a clear discrepancy between studio figures and Sacnilk’s independent tracking.
  • Early audience response is broadly positive for entertainment value, with many viewers praising veteran performers and nostalgia for the franchise while critics note weak originality and recycled gags.
  • The film’s reportedly large budget, estimated at Rs 250–300 crore, raises pressure to sustain weekend and weekday receipts; strong shows in single‑screen and smaller city markets help but upcoming releases will test its staying power.
