The buzz for the movie is positive, and the trade is expecting it to emerge as Akshay's biggest opening, beating the first-day earnings of Gold (2018, ₹25.25 crore) and Mission Mangal (2019, ₹29.16 crore). However, it will depend on how pre-sales perform. It can also emerge as one of the Bollywood star's biggest openers at the overseas box office. Housefull 5 can also be Akshay's first ₹30 crore opener in India. It is one of the biggest releases in India, hitting over 5000 screens countrywide. The franchise started with 2010’s Housefull, which was followed by three sequels — Housefull 2 (2012), Housefull 3 (2016) and Housefull 4 (2019).
