Bhooth Bangla, starring Akshay Kumar in the lead role, has registered a good start across the globe. In both India and overseas markets, the film has clocked a good amount on its opening day. Specifically talking about North America, it has opened much better than several biggies of Akshay, which is really a positive sign for the actor. In fact, compared to Sky Force, it has clocked more than 200% higher earnings on day 1. Keep reading for a detailed report!
Akshay enjoys a good fan following in the North American territory (USA and Canada). However, some of his films lately, which had the potential to do well, failed to even get a decent reception in the initial days. In the case of his latest horror-comedy entertainer, the factor of Akshay-Priyadarshan’s combo seems to be working well.
How much did Bhooth Bangla earn at the North American box office on day 1?
As per the day 1 collection update, Bhooth Bangla scored $345K (including premieres), which is considered good. In Indian rupees, it equals 3.19 crore. Since initial word of mouth has been mostly favorable, the film saw a spike in footfall from evening shows onward, helping conclude the opening day with healthy numbers.
Bhooth Bangla vs Sky Force on day 1
Sky Force is one of Akshay Kumar’s biggest releases in recent times. It opened at just $108.4K in North America. So, if a comparison is made, Bhooth Bangla enjoyed 218.26% more earnings on the opening day, which is really impressive. Since word of mouth has been favorable so far, the film is heading for a solid opening weekend. Also, it benefits from the slowdown in Dhurandhar 2.
