Bhooth Bangla North America Box Office Update: Off To A Good Start.
Bhooth Bangla is to a solid start at the North America box office. The film added $277K on Friday, its Day 2, taking the total collection to $345K including previews and Thursday numbers. The Friday hold is being seen as a strong sign, especially after a good Day 1 aided by paid previews. For a horror-comedy, the numbers indicate healthy acceptance among the diaspora audience.
The Day 2 jump is key here. After opening day buzz, Bhooth Bangla managed to post $277K on Friday, showing good traction despite it being a working day. The $345K total in two days puts it in a strong position heading into Saturday and Sunday, which are traditionally the best grossing days for Indian films in North America. Trade circuits are noting that the genre has clicked and word-of-mouth seems to be translating into footfalls.
What’s working for Bhooth Bangla is the audience thumbs up it received from Day 1. The ₹21 Cr gross opening day in India combined with this $345K North America start signals a parallel run in both major markets. Overseas distributors are expecting a clear spike over the weekend, with $1M within the first weekend now looking achievable if Saturday shows growth. The horror-comedy space has been consistent in North America, and Bhooth Bangla is following that trend.
With $345K already in the bank by Friday, Bhooth Bangla has laid a solid foundation in North America. The next two days will decide if it enters the breakout zone. If the current pace holds, the film could be looking at a $700K-$800K first weekend. For now, the verdict is clear: solid start, strong Friday hold, and positive signs for the weekend ahead.
