The Kartik Aaryan-starring Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (released earlier this week) has been performing nicely at the box office with each passing day. This Anish Bazmee directed film is screened in 3829 cinemas worldwide, and has collected close to 100 crore rupees so far. As it begins its second week on screens, the producing company – Bhushan Kumar-Murad Khetani venture starring Kiara Advani seems to have done well in the overseas market of North America as well.
To start off, let us take a look at how Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 fared in comparison to Kartik Aaryan’s previous releases in the North American Box Office. It is no surprise that considering its overwhelmingly positive reception, this movie was able to earn an unbelievable sum of USD 1.76 million during its first weekend – becoming Kartik’s highest-grossing film yet in this region! To put things into perspective, it has already exceeded what some of his other films such as Luka Chuppi (USD 1.01 million), Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (USD 997K), Pati Patni Aur Woh (USD 943K) or even Love Aaj Kal (USD 707K) were able to make back then .
Going forward, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 continues to run in theatres and is expected to see further growth in its business. As per trade predictions, the film could easily go on to become one of the most profitable movies of this year.
