Welcome to the Jungle advance booking. Advance bookings for Welcome To The Jungle opened on Tuesday, three days before its grand release. The initial response has been somewhat underwhelming so far. As of late Wednesday night (June 24), the film had sold around 15,000 tickets in the top two national chains — PVR Inox and Cinepolis — for the opening day, including Thursday previews. Trade tracker Sacnilk reports that the film has generated more than Rs 85 lakh in first-day advance bookings, including paid previews. The overall early booking figures are approaching the Rs 1 crore mark.
Welcome to the Jungle paid-preview The makers have scheduled paid preview shows from 7:30 PM onwards on June 25.

Welcome To The Jungle first review is out, and Akshay Kumar says Farida Jalal steals the show with her comic timing. Here's what the actor said about the comedy entertainer, its advance booking numbers, and paid-preview strategy. One of the biggest talking points is the film’s release strategy. Welcome To The Jungle is following the same paid preview model that worked well for Priyadarshan’s Bhooth Bangla earlier this year. The trend gained popularity after Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge used it successfully. With earnings from Thursday evening previews added to Friday’s opening day, the film hopes to create a stronger opening figure.
With such a massive ensemble cast and the Welcome franchise’s legacy, expectations are high. Whether the film can convert its pre-release curiosity into strong footfalls will be clearer after the first weekend.
