Comedy lovers who missed Housefull 5 in theaters won’t have to wait much longer. According to media reports, the digital streaming rights of this mega multistarrer film have been acquired by Amazon Prime Video. Initially, an August release on OTT was being considered, but the latest buzz hints at a July first-week premiere. However, official confirmation is still awaited from both the streaming platform and the film’s production team.
Why Was the OTT Release Date Preponed?
Sources claim that Housefull 5 didn’t perform as expected at the box office, despite a star-studded cast. With a budget of ₹240 crore, the film opened at ₹24 crore and grossed ₹31 crore on Saturday. To maximize audience reach and revenue, the makers are reportedly opting for an earlier OTT release. This move could attract a larger digital audience and help recover costs.
