Bhooth Bangla Week 3 Box Office Collection: Film Crosses 150 Cr Net Milestone; Overtakes Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 by a 2.1% Margin

Bhooth Bangla has just completed its third week at the box office, and the numbers tell a story of remarkable steadiness. As we look at the closing figures for Day 21, the film has officially crossed the major milestone of 150 Crore net in the Indian market. It is a significant achievement for the project, showing that the audience interest remains intact even as it enters its fourth week of theatrical run.

The horror-comedy genre has once again proven to be a reliable space for Akshay Kumar. Looking at his trajectory post-COVID, where several high-profile releases struggled to maintain long-term momentum, this film represents a significant return to box office stability. What is particularly impressive is how it has maintained such a consistent screen presence, even seeing an uptick in show counts as it closed out its third week. This steady performance suggests that the film has successfully connected with the audience's preference for light-hearted theatrical entertainers.

If we look closely at the daily performance during this third week, the film managed to collect 21.85 Crore net across India. The trend remained quite stable, especially during the weekdays. On Day 21, which was its third Thursday, the film earned 1.75 Crore, showing no drop from the previous day. This kind of consistency is a positive sign for the exhibitors. Over the course of the week, the movie was screened across a total of 31,387 shows, maintaining an average weekly occupancy of approximately 17.28 percent.

The ticket sales data further reinforces this steady run. On BookMyShow, the film saw over 400,000 tickets booked during the third week alone. The weekend saw a healthy peak with 89.07K tickets on Friday and 86.15K on Sunday. Even on the slower weekdays like Thursday, it managed to sell 25.76K tickets. This brings the total lifetime ticket sales on the platform to 2.84 million. Additionally, the national cinema chains contributed significantly, selling 108,089 tickets over these seven days.

When we shift our focus to the international market, Bhooth Bangla continues to find takers overseas. During the third week, the film added 4.70 Crore from international territories. While the numbers naturally tapered off toward the end of the week, with Day 21 bringing in 0.10 Crore, the overall total overseas gross now stands at 56.95 Crore. In the North American market specifically, the film has reached a total gross of $2.17M (₹18.23 Cr) after adding $8K (₹6.72 Lakh) on its third Monday..

This consistency has also helped the movie break into the record books for its third-week performance. Currently, it holds the 39th spot in the all-time Top 50 Week 3 collections list. By reaching this position with ₹21.85 Cr, it has officially overtaken the third-week numbers of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (₹21.40 Cr), which now sits at rank 40. While it still trails behind Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (₹23.35 Cr), which is positioned at rank 35, competing in this elite bracket confirms that the film has better-than-average legs for a modern mainstream release.

Taking everything into account, the worldwide gross for Bhooth Bangla has reached 234.93 Crore. With an India gross of 177.98 Crore and a solid net of 150 Crore, the film has cemented its status as a successful venture. The fact that the show count actually increased to 4,923 on Day 21 suggests that theater owners still have confidence in its ability to draw crowds as it heads into its fourth weekend.
