Kartik Aaryan's 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' Opening Day Box Office Expectations

Mumbai, October 31 - After joining hands to score a big blockbuster in the form of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, actor Kartik Aaryan and director Aneez Bazmee reunited with producer Bhushan Kumar of T-Series for the third instalment of this horror-comedy franchise which is soaring to new heights. ## Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has been one of the most-anticipated Bollywood movies ever since it was announced, due to the franchise value, plus, the horror-comedy genre has been in demand in recent times. The success of Stree 2 and Munjya along with BB2 made the upcoming movie to watch out for and to date, things are looking extremely favourable. ## BB3 was censored with the U/A certificate with an approved runtime of 2 hours and 38 minutes and as per reports, it will be released on around 3000 screens nationwide which is a big release considering a clash with mighty Singham Again. ## Despite getting fewer screens, the pre-sales of BB3 are surprisingly more than Singham Again though the difference is negligible and the fact that Singham 3 bookings opened late. It is still a positive indication that there will be a solid start for the horror-comedy and surely much much better than Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. ## As of now, BB3 has sold approximately 430K+ tickets worth 13.50 crores gross (without block seats) for the opening day which is among the highest of the year. The holiday factor will boost the spot booking, however, it is likely to lag behind Singham Again due to the genre as action has more appeal among the masses than any other genre. Considering all the aspects, BB3 is expected to open in the range of 30 crores net. ## Word of mouth will be a deciding factor between the clash of Singham Again and BB3 and the latter will hope for favourable reports from the first show as the Ajay Devgn-starrer is likely to have the upper hand in the initials. However, the clash is so tight that both movies will challenge each other during the day and that's where audience reports going to be crucial. ## Stay tuned...
