Bhooth Bangla 4th Weekend Box Office: Sunday Collections Jump By 36%; Needs Over 23 Cr More To Beat Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2

The long-awaited reunion of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan after 14 years is proving to be a successful venture at the box office. Bhooth Bangla has completed its fourth weekend, and the numbers indicate that the horror-comedy genre continues to be a favorite for the family audience. It is rare for a film to show such a healthy growth percentage this late in its run, but the Priyadarshan touch seems to be keeping the momentum steady. If we look at the ticket sales activity over these three days, the trend is quite positive. On BookMyShow, the film recorded 28.38K tickets on Friday, which jumped to 51.52K on Saturday, and saw its best performance on Sunday with 59.31K tickets. This brings the three-day BookMyShow total to a solid 139.21K tickets. In the major national chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the growth was even more apparent. The film sold approximately 3,360 tickets on Friday, which increased significantly to about 10,130 on Saturday, and reached 16,330 on Sunday. This gives us a cumulative total of roughly 29,820 tickets from the national chains alone over the weekend. Bhooth Bangla - 4th Weekend India Net Collection DAY NUMBER INDIA NET COLLECTION Day 22 (4th Friday) ₹ 1.75 Cr Day 23 (4th Saturday) ₹ 3.00 Cr Day 24 (4th Sunday) ₹ 4.10 Cr Total 4th Weekend ₹ 8.85 Cr The collection growth on Sunday was particularly notable. After earning 1.75 crore on Friday and 3.00 crore on Saturday, the film saw a 36.7 percent spike on Sunday to collect 4.10 crore net. This brings the fourth-weekend total to 8.85 crore. Currently, the total India net collection stands at 158.85 crore, which translates to a domestic gross of 188.51 crore. When we add the overseas gross of 53.10 crore, the worldwide gross collection has reached 241.61 crore. The film has maintained its show count well, running across 4,291 shows on Sunday with a 21 percent occupancy rate. Now, the big question is how it compares to other major horror-comedy hits. Currently, Bhooth Bangla is chasing the record of Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, which has a worldwide gross of 265.50 crore. With Bhooth Bangla sitting at 241.61 crore, it needs another 23.89 crore to cross that mark. Given the steady performance in the fourth week, we can estimate that Bhooth Bangla will likely cross the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 worldwide total by the end of its sixth week or during its sixth weekend. It needs to maintain its current momentum for at least two more weeks to claim that spot. Reaching the 250 crore worldwide milestone will be the first major step, which should happen within the next few days. However, we have some anticipated releases like Sidharth Malhotra's Vvan - Force of the Forrest and Ayushmann Khurrana's Pati Patni Aur Woh 2 arriving on May 15, which will likely cause some screen shrinkage and sharing. If the film can manage this competition and maintain its steady pace, it has a very realistic chance of surpassing the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 milestone and finishing its run as a highly successful entry in the horror-comedy genre.
