Ahmed KhanThe multi-starrer action-comedy ‘Welcome to the Jungle,’ featuring an ensemble cast led by: Akshay KumarSuniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal, has entered its second week at the box office in the middle of a big clash in the industry. As expected, YRF’s big budget spy-thriller ‘Alpha’, starring Alia Bhatt, Sharvari and Bobby Deol, opened and started commanding the lion’s share of the screens and the impact of ‘Welcome to the Jungle’s Day 8 and Day 9 numbers is already visible. However, the film’s steady first week run has given it enough of a cushion to keep reaching the symbolic Rs 100 crore nett milestone, even if the day-to-day numbers have declined significantly.With ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ heading into its second week, it is expected to close somewhere in the Rs 2-3 crore nett range. The 10th day (second Sunday) will see a marginal increase if weekend footfalls continue, which could be in the Rs 2.5-3.5 crore range. The second weekend collection is likely to settle between Rs 1-2 crore nett per day as the number of shows of the film continues to decline during the week.
