Weekday Dip Sets In

On Day 14, the horror-comedy directed by Priyadarshan recorded a noticeable slowdown. The film earned around Rs 1.37 crore on Thursday, pushing its total India net collection to Rs 126.02 crore, according to industry tracker, Sacnilk. Gross earnings in India stand close to Rs 149.67 crore, with the film currently running across 5,426 shows nationwide.

Occupancy levels paint a clearer picture of this dip. Footfall remained modest at approximately 9–10% overall. Morning shows opened at about 5.54%, before inching up to 11.54% in the afternoon, hardly the surge one would hope for at this stage.

Occupancy Trends Reflect Fatigue

The decline doesn’t come as a surprise. As the second week progresses, audience turnout has thinned. Compared to earlier days, the drop signals a gradual slowdown, with weekday fatigue and competing releases pulling viewers away.

Box Office Journey So Far

Fronted by Akshay Kumar, Bhooth Bangla began its journey with Rs 3.75 crore in previews. It quickly picked up pace over its opening weekend, Rs 12.25 crore on Friday, Rs 19 crore on Saturday, and Rs 23 crore on Sunday, closing Week 1 at Rs 84.40 crore.

Week 2 brought fluctuations. While the second weekend injected fresh energy with Rs 10.75 crore on Day 9 and Rs 12.50 crore on Day 10, weekday collections slipped back into the Rs 3-4 crore range. So far, Week 2 has contributed approximately Rs 41.39 crore.

The film isn’t operating in isolation. It continues to face stiff competition from Dhurandhar: The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh, which has already amassed a staggering Rs 1,780.76 crore worldwide.

Despite the dip, the broader trajectory remains stable. The second weekend boost has cushioned the fall, and while Day 14 numbers reflect a slowdown, the film hasn’t lost its footing entirely.
