The mid-week box office figures are in, and while some films are holding steady, others are showing the typical weekday dip. Here’s a detailed look at the Tuesday collections for “Housefull 5,” “Thug Life,” “Materialists,” and “How To Train Your Dragon.”
Housefull 5 Continues Strong Run, Eyes New Milestones
Akshay Kumar’s multi-starrer comedy, “Housefull 5,” continues its impressive journey at the box office. After a robust first week, the film maintained a respectable pace into its second week. On its second Tuesday (Day 12), “Housefull 5” collected an estimated ₹4.15 crore (early estimates suggest figures ranging from ₹4.12 crore to ₹4.25 crore) across all languages. This brings its total domestic net collection to an impressive ₹162.15 crore – ₹162.25 crore.
The film, which opened with ₹24 crore on its first Friday, has demonstrated decent trending, particularly over its second weekend. “Housefull 5” is now set to surpass the lifetime collection of Ajay Devgn’s “Raid 2,” which garnered ₹172.87 crore, making it a significant contender among the top-grossing Hindi films of 2025. With its consistent performance, “Housefull 5” is solidifying its position as one of Akshay Kumar’s highest-grossing films.
Thug Life Experiences Further Decline
Kamal Haasan’s highly anticipated action-drama “Thug Life,” directed by Mani Ratnam, faced further struggles at the box office on its second Tuesday (Day 13). The film managed to collect an estimated ₹0.25 crore – ₹0.30 crore (rough data), continuing a downward trend observed throughout its second week.
“Thug Life” had a strong opening, raking in ₹15.5 crore on its first day. However, it witnessed significant drops during the weekdays of its first week, and the momentum has not recovered in its second run. The total collection for “Thug Life” now stands at approximately ₹47.15 crore – ₹47.29 crore across all languages after 13 days. Despite its star-studded cast, the film has found it challenging to maintain audience interest, with weekday occupancy reflecting the waning appeal.
Materialists Sees Modest Growth on Tuesday
Celine Song’s romantic comedy “Materialists,” featuring Pedro Pascal, Dakota Johnson, and Chris Evans, showed a slight uptick in its collections on its first Tuesday (Day 5). The film garnered an estimated ₹0.36 crore – ₹0.39 crore (early/rough estimates). This marks a modest increase from its Monday collection, which was ₹0.35 crore.
The film, which opened with ₹0.6 crore on its first Friday, has an overall domestic net collection of approximately ₹3.71 crore – ₹3.77 crore after five days. While it had a softer start in India compared to its strong global debut, “Materialists” is attempting to find its footing with a steady, albeit low, weekday performance. Occupancy rates on Tuesday were around 19.75% for English (2D) shows, indicating a niche but engaged audience.
How To Train Your Dragon Maintains Steady Flight
The live-action adaptation of “How To Train Your Dragon” continued its steady performance at the Indian box office on its first Tuesday (Day 5). The family-friendly fantasy adventure collected an estimated ₹1.33 crore (rough data), showing a slight dip of approximately 5% from its Monday figures.
Released on June 13, 2025, the film had a successful opening weekend, including a strong Sunday collection of ₹4.5 crore. Its total net collection in India now stands at approximately ₹13.28 crore – ₹13.55 crore after five days. The film is proving to be a strong draw for family audiences and is poised to be one of the leading family film releases of 2025, despite the typical weekday decline. Its consistent performance across English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu versions underscores its broad appeal.
