Bhooth Bangla Day 40 Box Office: Collecting Rs. 0.65 Cr net as worldwide gross reaches Rs. 261.70 Cr

Bhooth Bangla is maintaining a steady pace as it completes its sixth week in theaters. On its 40th day, the film added 0.65 Cr net to its kitty across India, marking a 30 percent growth from the previous day’s 0.50 Cr. Even with new competition like Drishyam 3 taking up significant screen space, the movie is finding enough oxygen to keep its theatrical run alive during the weekdays.

With this latest addition to the kitty, the total India net collection now stands at a solid 175.50 Cr. When we look at the gross numbers, the film has crossed the 200 Crore mark domestically, sitting at 207.95 Cr. The global story is equally impressive for a mid-budget horror-comedy; with an overseas contribution of 53.75 Cr, the worldwide gross has now touched 261.70 Cr. Navigating through 40 days of theatrical run is no small feat, and the film has managed to sustain itself across a total of 228,679 shows since its release.

To give you some context on where this performance ranks in the history of Bollywood, Bhooth Bangla has officially cracked the Top 10 list for the highest Day 40 collections. While it sits at the tenth spot with its 0.65 Cr, trailing just slightly behind Drishyam 2, which earned 0.70 Cr on the same day, finding its name alongside biggies like Dhurandhar and its sequel is a massive win for the makers. It shows that the film has successfully transitioned from a hit to a genuine long-term player in the market.

Looking at the occupancy levels, the National Capital Region (NCR) continues to be the primary engine for the film. With 200 shows still running in the region, it recorded an overall occupancy of 28.5 percent. The night shows in NCR were particularly busy, hitting a peak of 39 percent. Other cities like Ahmedabad and Lucknow also showed decent footfalls with occupancies of 15.3 percent and 16.8 percent respectively. This indicates that while the show count has naturally decreased to 1,597 shows nationwide, the seats are still being filled at a healthy rate.

In terms of early trends from the big national multiplex chains, the film added around 3 Lakhs to its gross through advance sales for Day 40. PVR led the way with 1.15 Lakhs, followed closely by INOX at 1.02 Lakhs, and Cinepolis contributing 83.36K. These numbers might seem small compared to the opening weekend, but for a film in its sixth week, these are vital signs that the audience hasn't completely moved on yet.

The digital footprint on BookMyShow remains quite active as well. On this sixth Tuesday, the platform recorded 16.08K ticket sales for the film. This brings the cumulative ticket sales on the platform to a staggering 32.86 Lakhs. It is clear that the word-of-mouth has carried this film far beyond its initial buzz. While newer biggies are grabbing the lion's share of the screens, Bhooth Bangla is content with its slice of the pie, continuing to add to its lifetime total with surprising consistency.
