Good Newwz has now emerged as the 9th best opening film of 2019 after War, Bharat, Saaho, Kabir Singh, Dabangg 3 and Mission Mangal and 7th best opening film of Akshay Kumar. It has beaten the box-office collection of Kumar’s big-ticket Diwali release Housefull 4, which had racked up Rs. 53.22 crore in the opening weekend. The film is now en-route to becoming a hit.
