Bhooth Bangla 2nd Friday North America Box Office Update: Good hold continues

Bhooth Bangla entered its second weekend in North America with a strong jump. The film collected $112K on its 2nd Friday, Day 8, pushing the total to $1.61M. After closing Week 1 at $1.49M with a $61K Thursday, the Friday spike shows excellent hold and growing demand. The good trend continues for the clean comedy.

The $112K Friday is a big jump from Thursday’s $61K, an 83% rise that confirms strong word-of-mouth. Most films drop on 2nd Friday, but Bhooth Bangla has reversed the trend. Families and group audiences are clearly driving the numbers into Week 2. With screens retained and evening shows picking up, the film is set for a healthy second weekend. The $1.61M cume already makes it one of 2026’s top mid-budget Hindi performers in NA.

This 2nd Friday hold is rare for the horror-comedy space. Usually the genre falls 50-60% in Week 2, but Bhooth Bangla’s clean, OG comedy pitch is beating that pattern. The jump proves the film has gone beyond the core fanbase to wider diaspora families. If Saturday and Sunday follow this trajectory, the second weekend could land $350K+, putting the $2M lifetime well within reach.

For the trade, the Week 2 start validates Bhooth Bangla as a genuine theatrical success overseas. Crossing $1.6M in 8 days with a rising 2nd Friday is a big win for clean comedies. The film has legs, screens, and audience goodwill. If the trend continues, Bhooth Bangla will not just hit $2M but could challenge bigger titles from 2026. The good run continues, and NA is loving the laughter.
