Welcome To The Jungle Opens Week 2 Monday With 5 Percent Morning Occupancy, Eyes 2 Crore Day

Welcome To The Jungle opened its second Monday with around 5 percent occupancy in morning shows today. The number is expected for a comedy in week two, as early shows usually start slow on a working day. Single screens had a dull start while multiplexes saw scattered audiences. Despite the slow morning, the film is still managing to hold better than a regular drop and is heading for a decent day overall.

The film is likely to cross the 2 crore mark today. That is a good hold for a film in its second Monday, especially after a strong second Sunday. The weekend growth has helped Welcome To The Jungle stay in the conversation and keep screens. The current trend shows that word of mouth is still working for the ensemble cast and family audiences are continuing to check it out.

However, the film will need a strong turnaround in the evening shows to make the most of Monday. Evening and night slots usually decide the day’s total in week two. If occupancy picks up after office hours, Welcome To The Jungle can comfortably cross 2 crore and set up a stable weekday run. A flat evening would keep the number close to the lower end, which will not help in the long run.

With new releases around the corner, holding weekdays is crucial for the film. The 5 percent morning start is not a concern by itself, but the evening performance will decide the tone for the rest of the week. If Welcome To The Jungle gets that push in night shows, it can maintain a healthy hold and add steadily to its total before the next big release takes over screens.
