Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is continuing its solid run at the box office, maintaining a strong hold in its second week despite the expected drop-off. With its impressive opening week, thanks to Diwali, and a strong second week performance, the film is edging closer to the ₹300 crore mark. However, as we near the third weekend, its future trajectory will be crucial in determining whether it can achieve this milestone.
Key Box Office Numbers:
– Opening Week (Week 1): ₹167.65 crores (boosted by Diwali)
-Second Week (Week 2): ₹67.27 crores
– Day 15 (Third Friday): ₹4-4.10 crores (steady performance compared to Day 14’s ₹4.15 crores)
So far, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has earned an estimated ₹238.92-239.02 crores at the Indian box office.
The film has already surpassed Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’s lifetime collection of ₹185.57 crores, making it the highest-grossing installment in the franchise. This is a major achievement, and anything beyond this point is essentially a bonus. As for the target of ₹300 crores, the path ahead looks promising, but there are a few factors to consider:
The Path to ₹300 Crores:
Weekend Boost: With the third weekend approaching, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is expected to see a strong jump on Saturday and Sunday, which could bring the film closer to the ₹250 crore mark. The weekend collections will be key in pushing the film into the final stretch.
Weekday Drop: After the weekend, the film is expected to face a significant drop in collections, especially from Monday onwards, where earnings are predicted to dip below ₹3 crores per day. This drop will make it difficult to sustain momentum.
Pushpa 2 (December 5): The arrival of Pushpa 2 next month will bring in competition, but for now, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is in a relatively competition-free zone. It will need a solid hold through the next few days to keep pushing towards that ₹300 crore target.
Current Situation:
While Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is doing well, with a total of around ₹239 crores as of Day 15, it will need consistent earnings through the weekend and into next week to make a serious push towards the 300 crore mark. The absence of direct competition until December 5 is a benefit, but without strong weekday holds after the weekend, crossing ₹300 crores could be a challenge.
Overall, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is still in a very strong position, and if it can continue to hold its ground, there’s a good chance it will eventually cross ₹300 crores, though it may require a bit of luck and strong audience interest in the coming weeks.
