Bhooth Bangla Day2 North America Box Office Update: Healthy Weekend Loading

Bhooth Bangla continued its solid run in North America with a very good Saturday. The horror-comedy collected $405K on Day 3, taking its total to $750K including previews and Thursday-Friday numbers. The jump on Saturday signals excellent word-of-mouth, with diaspora audiences turning up in big numbers. For a genre film, this is a very strong hold and growth trend.

The Day 3 figure is crucial. After posting $277K on Friday, Bhooth Bangla saw a near 46% jump to $405K on Saturday. This kind of growth on a non-holiday weekend is rare and points to solid audience acceptance. With $750K in the bank by Saturday, the film has already outperformed initial trade expectations. Sunday still remains, and a healthy jump is likely given the current momentum.

What’s driving the numbers is the film’s blend of horror and comedy clicking with family audiences. The ₹21 Cr India opening plus this $750K North America total in 3 days shows the film is working in both domestic and overseas circuits. Trade is now calling it a very good start, with distributors confident of a $900K-$1M first weekend. The genre average has been comfortably beaten, and exhibitors have added shows for Sunday.

With $750K already locked by Saturday, Bhooth Bangla is heading for a healthy first weekend finish in North America. If Sunday holds or grows from Saturday’s $405K, the film will comfortably cross $1M in the extended weekend. Verdict so far: very good start, strong Saturday growth, and a healthy weekend loading. All eyes on Sunday closing now.
