Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3: Four-Day Worldwide Box Office Performance
The horror-comedy film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, made on a budget of ₹150 crore, has demonstrated impressive box office performance. The film garnered an India net collection of ₹36.60 crore on its opening day, marking Kartik Aaryan’s biggest career opening. Collections improved on the second day, with the film earning an India net of ₹38.40 crore. However, the third day saw a slight drop compared to the first two days, with the film collecting an India net of ₹34.70 crore.
On its fourth day, a Monday, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 experienced a collection decrease, common on working days and with reduced ticket prices. The film’s estimated India net collection for its fourth day is ₹15.50 crore. This shift reflects a significant drop in occupancy, approximately 45% lower than the third day, affecting afternoon and evening show bookings. Despite this, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 surpassed its budget within just three days.
Cumulatively, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’s initial four-day India net collection stands at ₹125.20 crore. Its India gross collection reached ₹148.90 crore. The film also performed strongly in overseas markets, accumulating ₹34.75 crore. With these figures, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’s total worldwide box office collection for its first four days amounts to ₹183.65 crore. The film has already secured a “Hit” tag at the box office and shows potential to achieve “Superhit” or even “Blockbuster” status.
Singham Again: Four-Day Global Box Office Collections
Superstar Ajay Devgn’s film Singham Again registered record-breaking collections in its initial four days worldwide. The film secured Ajay Devgn’s biggest career opening with an India net collection of ₹43.07 crore on its first day. Remarkably, the second day saw a growth in earnings, with the film collecting an India net of ₹44.50 crore, surpassing its opening day figures. The third day also saw the film performing well, although the India net collection of ₹38.62 crore was slightly less than expected, primarily due to the Bhai Dooj festival affecting evening and night show occupancy.
Despite the start of working days on Monday, the fourth day, Singham Again maintained a commendable hold at the box office. While collections did see a drop, a common trend for films after the weekend, the film’s estimated India net collection for its fourth day is ₹17.50 crore. This dip is attributed to schools and offices resuming, as well as a reduction in ticket prices, which is standard on weekdays.
Overall, Singham Again’s initial four-day India net collection totals ₹144.32 crore. The film’s India gross collection stands at ₹171.54 crore. In the overseas markets, Singham Again has also performed exceptionally, earning ₹38.96 crore. This brings the film’s total worldwide box office collection for its first four days to ₹210.50 crore. Expectations are high that Singham Again could become Ajay Devgn’s first film to cross the ₹500 crore mark globally.
