The Anees Bazmee directed Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 opened up this past Friday to an overwhelmingly favorable reaction from both critics and audiences. In my review of the film’s performance at the box office, I’ll take a closer look at how well the first weekend fared for Murad Khetani and Bhusan Kumar’s new venture in overseas markets where it grossed $547k after its opening day abroad; coming out ahead of anticipated numbers while showing solid earnings gains between days one and two.
