October 31, 2024: Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Sets Advance Booking Records, Eyeing Massive Opening Weekend
Kartik Aaryan’s highly anticipated horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, directed by Anees Bazmee, is gearing up for a big box office debut on November 1. The film, which also stars Triptii Dimri, Vidya Balan, and Madhuri Dixit, has already shown strong pre-release demand, setting the stage for an impressive opening.
Pre-Sales Surge: 79K Tickets Sold in National Chains
The movie, backed by T-Series Films, has recorded substantial advance booking numbers. By 10 PM on October 30, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 had sold approximately 79,000 tickets across major national cinema chains, including PVR Inox and Cinepolis. PVR Inox led the sales with 63,000 tickets, while Cinepolis accounted for 16,000 admits.
Potential for a Rs 25-30 Crore Opening
With advance bookings expected to reach between 200,000 to 230,000 by the night before release, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is set to have a robust opening at the box office. Industry estimates suggest the film could pull in between Rs 25 crore to Rs 30 crore on its first day, a strong start despite facing competition from Ajay Devgn’s Singham Again, which currently has more screen allocations nationwide.
Projected Weekend Box Office Performance
While Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has made a solid start in pre-sales, its ongoing success will depend on spot bookings and audience feedback on the first day. If the film garners positive word-of-mouth, it could see a substantial boost over the weekend, with projections suggesting a possible Rs 80 crore to Rs 90 crore in its initial three days.
