Welcome To The Jungle Day 15 Advance Booking: Faces Screen Reduction After Dhamaal 4 Release; Maintains Presence With 4,000 Tickets in National Chains
Welcome To The Jungle has entered its third Friday on a challenging note as Dhamaal 4 arrives in cinemas, leading to expected pressure on screens and showcasing. Despite the competition, the Akshay Kumar-led entertainer continues to maintain a presence at the ticket window, supported by its established audience base and strong second-week performance.
According to the latest tracking, Welcome To The Jungle has sold around 4,000 tickets across PVR INOX and Cinepolis for Day 15 (Third Friday). The decline compared to previous weekday advances was expected, considering the film has now completed two weeks in theatres and is facing direct competition from a new release targeting a similar family audience.
The arrival of Dhamaal 4 has resulted in reduced showcasing for Welcome To The Jungle, particularly across premium multiplex locations. With fresh screens being allocated to the new comedy release, the film will now depend more heavily on loyal audiences, repeat viewers, and strong-performing centres to continue its theatrical journey.
However, the film has already achieved a strong milestone with a successful two-week run at the box office. Its biggest strength has been its performance across Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets, where family audiences have consistently supported the entertainer. These centres are expected to remain crucial in sustaining the film's business in the coming days.
Metro cities including Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Ahmedabad, and Kolkata are likely to see a drop due to reduced showcasing and increased competition. Still, evening and weekend shows could continue to attract audiences, especially those looking for a family comedy experience.
Trade circles believe that Welcome To The Jungle has managed to build enough momentum during its first two weeks to remain competitive despite the arrival of Dhamaal 4. The film's journey will now depend on how well it can hold during the third weekend and whether positive word-of-mouth helps it retain audiences.
With both films belonging to the comedy genre, the coming days will be interesting as audiences decide between the two entertainers. While Dhamaal 4 benefits from a fresh release advantage, Welcome To The Jungle enters this phase with an established theatrical run and a loyal audience following.
The next few days will determine how much further the film can stretch its lifetime collections after a successful box office journey so far.
