Occupancy - Day 12
Day 12, being a weekday, has recorded very low occupancy. The morning shows recorded a low occupancy of just 6%. While the afternoon show data is yet to be updated, evening and night shows are yet to begin, meaning the overall occupancy is expected to change as the day progresses.
Region-Wise Breakdown
The National Capital Region (NCR), with 945 shows, has recorded 12.0% occupancy so far. Standing just below NCR in the number of shows with 647 screens, Mumbai has recorded a low occupancy of about 7.0%. Jaipur and Pune have contributed with 11.0% and 8.0% occupancies across 125 and 281 shows, respectively.
However, major regions like Ahmedabad, Kolkata, and Surat have recorded some of the lowest occupancies for Day 12.
Box Office Performance So Far
Akshay Kumar-led film collected Rs 3.75 crore on Day 0. With massive pre-release hype, the film opened with Rs 12.25 crore. With positive feedback, the opening weekend boosted the total collections, with Saturday collecting Rs 19 crore and Sunday accumulating Rs 23 crore.
However, following the weekday dip, the first Monday fell sharply to Rs 6.75 crore while increasing to Rs 8 crore on Tuesday. With moderate numbers throughout the first week, Week 1 collections for Bhooth Bangla closed at Rs 84.40 crore.
The second weekend also contributed well to the total collections as it garnered Rs 10.75 crore on Saturday and Rs 12.50 crore on Sunday.
The second week, however, opened with a very slow start and a drop in occupancies as it collected only Rs 3.65 crore, marking the lowest single-day collection so far.
With Dhurandhar: The Revenge still dominating theatres after its month-long successful run, Bhooth Bangla needs to sustain positive word-of-mouth and attract audiences consistently to maintain a long theatrical run.
