The Diwali 2024 festive season has been lit up by Kartik Aaryan and Triptii Dimri starrer Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (BB3), which has been performing impressively at the box office, delivering a strong start. However, after an explosive entry into theatres on November 1, 2024, the film has now faced its first major drop on day 6, signaling the usual mid-week slowdown. Despite the drop, BB3 is still on a positive trajectory, giving tough competition to Singham Again and continuing to hold its ground in the market.
Box Office Collection Breakdown (Day 1 to Day 6):
– Day 1: 36.60 crores
– Day 2: 38.40 crores
– Day 3: 35.20 crores
– Day 4 (Monday): 17.80 crores
– Day 5 (Tuesday): 13.50 crores
– Day 6 (Wednesday): 10.50 crores
– Total (6 days): 154.41 crores
Observations:
– The film had an outstanding start at the box office, especially considering the competition from Singham Again. The opening weekend saw BB3 cross the 70 crores mark, a solid foundation for its long run.
– On Tuesday, the collections were neck-and-neck with Singham Again, with BB3 earning 15.91 crores and Singham Again making 16.50 crores. This tight competition has kept both films in the limelight.
– However, the film experienced a 34% drop on Wednesday, with collections falling to 10.50 crores. This is a significant dip compared to Tuesday’s numbers, but this drop is not unusual for films during the mid-week phase.
– With 154.41 crores in 6 days, BB3 is already showing signs of good profitability, especially considering its production budget of 150 crores. The film has already crossed into profit territory, with a return on investment (ROI) of 102.94%.
Budget vs Box Office:
– Budget: 150 crores
– Box Office (6 days): 154.41 crores
– ROI: 4.41 crores
– ROI%: 102.94%
This rapid recovery and profit generation show that BB3 is already in the safe zone for producers, ensuring that the film will continue to add to its earnings in the coming days. Given the strong start, the film’s overall lifetime collections will likely continue to rise, barring any significant drops in the coming days.
What’s Next for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3?
– The film’s weekend performance will be crucial. If it can maintain collections above the 10 crore mark over the next two days (Thursday and Friday), it will ensure a smooth ride through the second week and could continue to rake in profits throughout the holiday season.-
Audience reception, especially in the horror-comedy genre, is usually strong around festive times like Diwali, so BB3 may still see a surge in collections during the weekend.
Conclusion:
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has already turned a profit within its first week, making it a financial success for the producers. While the mid-week drop is a minor concern, the film’s strong opening numbers and ongoing competition with Singham Again ensure that it will continue to perform well in the long run. With a bit of luck and continued audience interest, Kartik Aaryan and Triptii Dimri’s horror-comedy could see sustained success throughout the Diwali period and beyond.
