Akshay Kumar starrer horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla is currently running at the box office and is undergoing the weekday test. After a successful opening weekend, the film witnessed an expected drop on Day 4 and Day 5 but maintained a decent hold considering it is a weekday. Moreover, the slowed-down figures of Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge are contributing well to Bhooth Bangla.
Bhooth Bangla - Box Office Collection Day 5
Day 5, being the first Tuesday for the film, has brought Rs 5.22 crore across 9,054 shows so far, Sacnilk reports. Taking into account the fifth day, the film has grossed Rs 83.49 crore in India, pushing the total net collection to Rs 69.97 crore.
The film earned over Rs 106 crore globally and also achieved a significant milestone by entering the Rs 100 crore club worldwide in just four days of its theatrical release.
Occupancy On Day 5
The occupancy report, as per Sacnilk on Day 5, shows a positive response in the evening, as is expected during weekdays. The overall occupancy reported is, however, low with only 13.73%. The morning shows recorded the lowest occupancy with 8.85%, while the afternoon shows rose to 18.62%. The evening shows saw a further spike as they reported an impressive occupancy of 20.85%.
