After the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Kartik Aryan, Bhushan Kumar and Anees Bazmee are reuniting to take the horror comedy franchise forward with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. After the success of Munjya and Stree 2, the horror comedy genre has become the flavor of this season. , and a lot is expected from Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, even more so because the last installment was a post-Covid blockbuster. The film has been certified U/A by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with a sanctioned running time of 2 hours and 38 minutes.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is getting a pan-India release by Anil Thadani, and the distributors are releasing the film in approximately over 3000 screens across the country. However, in a collision situation, the number of screens does not make much difference and it all depends on the performance. As per the current trends, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has achieved around 40 to 43 percent performance at the all India level, however, this will be dynamic and changeable depending on the audience interest till the opening day.
Advance booking of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 across national chains began on Wednesday morning and the film has sold around 33,000 tickets across the top 3 national chains – PVRinox and Cinepolis till 2.30 pm on Wednesday. The Kartik Aryan starrer will try to close its day of pre-sale with 65,00 tickets across the top 3 national series by Wednesday night and the final advance is expected to be around the 1.75 lakh ticket mark.
Non-national chains have also shown good momentum and this is a positive sign for the first weekend business. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’s opening day collection is expected to be around Rs 27.00 crore to Rs 32.00 crore, as the capacity issue will come up at some point during the day. The first weekend of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 will be around Rs 80.00 to Rs 90.00 crore, depending on how the content is received by the cinema-going audience.
While the first weekend business will be affected by the clash with Singham Again, the film may compensate for it with a healthy trend starting from Monday, which is the litmus test day. There is a lot of noise, publicity and drama going on about this clash, but from Monday its content itself will be the topic of discussion. There is a month-long open run, which is the biggest advantage for both Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again, but they can benefit from it only if the content is good.
The beginning and the weekend will see good results for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and the business of the fourth and fifth day will give an idea of luck. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on the box office reporting of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
