The collections may be slightly greater or lower depending on how well the single screens and non-national chains performed, according to a report by Bollywood Hungama.

The occupancy increased throughout the day, with night shows running with solid occupancy levels above 60%.

The film's reviews have been positive, and this should assure a positive box office trend. ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ has stopped the box office slump that began with ‘Jhund’, ‘Bachchan Paandey’, ‘Attack’, ‘Jersey’, Runway 34, and Heropanti 2.

The film has also become Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan's biggest opener to date, surpassing his last best, ‘Love Aaj Kal 2’ at Rs. 12 crores. The opening is the result of a number of factors, including the Bhool Bhulaiyaa brand, the Indian filmmaker Anees Bazmee brand, and the popularity of Aaryan and actress Kiara Advani amongst the youth. 

The trailer was also well-cut, with good padding from popular music. ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ is also the biggest non-holiday opening in the middle of the pandemic, surpassing Indian filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s, Bollywood actor, Alia Bhatt starrer ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi'.

The stage is now set for the film to rise in popularity on Saturday and Sunday.
