Will Selfiee beat Mission Mangal to become Akshay Kumar's biggest opener of all-time?

2022 has not been a great year for Akshay Kumar as all his biggies including Bachchhan Paandey, Raksha Bandhan, Ram Setu and Samrat Prithviraj failed to create magic at the box office.

The Khiladi of Bollywood is gearing up for his first 2023 release Selfiee, which will hit the screens this Friday. The film, which is the official remake of 2019 Malayalam hit Driving Licence featuring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Suraj Venjarammoodu, has garnered a positive response from the audience with the trailer and songs creating curiosity among the moviegoers.

Since last Friday releases Shehzada and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania underperformed, Selfiee will be the first choice for the cinegoers and since it is a solo release, it will get a good amount of screens across the country.

Akshay Kumar’s biggest openers

Mission Mangal – Rs 29.16 crores
Sooryavanshi – Rs 26.29 crores
Gold – Rs 25.25 crores
Kesari – Rs 21.06 crores
2.0 (Hindi) – Rs 20.25 crores
Singh Is Bliing – Rs 20.67 crores
Housefull 4 – Rs 19.08 crores
Good Newwz – Rs 17.56 crores
Ram Setu – Rs 15.25 crores
Brothers – Rs 15.20 crores
Housefull 3 – Rs 15.20 crores

Considering all the scenarios in favour of the Raj Mehta directorial, we can easily expect Selfiee to take an opening between Rs 12 to Rs 15 crore. And if word of mouth is positive, we will see a huge jump on Saturday and Sunday.
