Akshay Kumar’s multi-starrer comedy film ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ is continuously performing well at the box office. Despite entering the second week, the pace of the film has not slowed down. Even on the 8th day, the film recorded strong earnings and now it is just a few crores away from joining the Rs 100 crore club. The special thing is that despite the release of Alia Bhatt’s spy thriller ‘Alpha’, the film has maintained its hold. According to trade reports, the tremendous support from the family audience has emerged as the biggest strength of the film.
How much did ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ earn on Day 8?
According to trade reports, ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ made a business of Rs 4.50 crore (net) on the 8th day of its release i.e. 2nd Friday.

Did the release of ‘Alpha’ affect the film?
On the second Friday, Alia Bhatt and Sharvari starrer ‘Alpha’ released in theaters, which took a good start on premium multiplex screens. Despite this, there was no major impact on the earnings of ‘Welcome to the Jungle’. The biggest reason for this is believed to be that the audience of both the films is different. While ‘Alpha’ is attracting the action loving audience, ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ remains the first choice of the family audience.
How much is expected to be earned from ‘Welcome 3’ on the weekend?
Box office experts believe that the film’s earnings may again see a jump in the second weekend. Family audiences are more likely to reach theaters on Saturdays and Sundays. In such a situation, the film is expected to do a business of Rs 8 to 12 crore on the weekend.
