Bhooth Bangla continued its steady run at the box office by collecting Rs. 7.25 crore nett on Tuesday. The film saw a rise of nearly 20 per cent compared to Monday, mainly because of discount offers that usually bring more people to theatres. In terms of audience turnout, Tuesday was quite similar to Friday, which shows that the film is still attracting viewers even after the weekend.
After five days, the total collection of the film stands at around Rs. 69.50 crore nett, just short of the Rs. 70 crore mark. Based on its current trend, the film is expected to finish its first week with around Rs. 78 crore nett. These numbers suggest that the film has maintained a stable performance so far.
Now, attention is on Wednesday, which has become an important day to judge a film’s performance. Earlier, Monday collections were seen as the key test after the weekend. However, with discount offers shifting more audience to Tuesday, Wednesday collections now play a major role. If Bhooth Bangla manages to earn over Rs. 5 crore nett on Wednesday and shows a steady trend into the second Friday, it is likely to be considered a hit.
One important factor working in its favour is that the film has not seen a sharp drop during weekdays. This is different from Jolly LLB 3, which performed well over its opening weekend but saw a noticeable decline during the weekdays and could not recover after that.
Bhooth Bangla had similar collections to Jolly LLB 3 on Friday and Saturday. It performed about 10 per cent better on Sunday and increased that gap to more than 15 per cent on Monday. If this upward trend continues, the film is likely to perform well in the coming days.
Here is a breakdown of its earnings so far. The film earned Rs. 3.50 crore from previews, followed by Rs. 12.00 crore on Friday, Rs. 18.50 crore on Saturday, and Rs. 22.00 crore on Sunday. On Monday, it collected Rs. 6.25 crore, and on Tuesday, Rs. 7.25 crore, taking the total to Rs. 69.50 crore nett.
