BHOOT: PART ONE – THE HAUNTED SHIP collected a poor 23 crore nett in week one and the genre has to do better as normally the legs are not there for the genre. The weekend was dull and weekday trend was not as strong as it should have been which could mean a dull second week.

The problem is no metro has really done well and mass markets were never going to do well anyway. The weekday holds can actually be called better than SHUBH MANGA ZYADA SAAVDHAN though with lower collections. But the problem is no area has really sustained while SHUBH MANGA ZYADA SAAVDHAN is decent in Delhi NCR and this area can bring in collection in week two. BHOOT: PART ONE – THE HAUNTED SHIP will probably see drops all over.

The first week collections of BHOOT: PART ONE – THE HAUNTED SHIP are as follows..
Friday - 5,00,00,000
Saturday - 5,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 5,50,00,000 apprx
Monday - 2,00,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 1,75,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 1,65,00,000 apprx
Thursday - 1,60,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 23,00,00,000 apprx

BHOOT: PART ONE – THE HAUNTED SHIP fell around 10-12% on Tuesday when in order to have any chance of survival, it had to collect in the same range of Monday. This takes the total of the film to 19.75 crore nett and the first week looking to be a low 22.50-23 crore nett. The only minor plus is that the weekday trend is actually better than SHUBH MANGAL ZYADA SAAVDHAN but BHOOT: PART ONE – THE HAUNTED SHIP missed out totally on weekend collections.

The film is better in metros like Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore but there has been total rejection in North and all mass markets like Rajasthan, CP Berar, CI and Gujarat/Saurashtra. The best hope for the film is a 30 crore nett final total and even that depends on a decent hold on Friday as getting 6-7 crore nett in week two will not be easy.

The first five days collections of BHOOT: PART ONE – THE HAUNTED SHIP is as follows.
Friday - 5,00,00,000
Saturday - 5,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 5,50,00,000 apprx
Monday - 2,00,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 1,75,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 19,75,00,000 apprx

BHOOT: PART ONE – THE HAUNTED SHIP came down on Monday as it collected 2 crore nett which is 60% drop from Friday but real value drop is around 45% as the film was boosted by Mahashivratri on Friday. This 45% drop would not have actually been too bad if the film had collected better of the weekend.

The film did not do well in the Hindi mass circuits so was depending on the metros and mini metros but the film collected very poorly in Delhi, Noida, Chandigarh and Gurgaon belt and when a film with a limited audience collects such low numbers in these areas then its a tough task to work. The collections are a bit better in Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore but they cant be called good here either. The only plus is low costs though horror genre and no music means less revenue from satellite, digital and music but enough to make it safe. The rejections from the audience is there though.

The first four days collections of BHOOT: PART ONE – THE HAUNTED SHIP is as follows..
Friday - 5,00,00,000
Saturday - 5,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 5,50,00,000 apprx
Monday - 2,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 18,00,00,000 apprx

BHOOT: PART ONE – THE HAUNTED SHIP had a low weekend of 16 crore nett but that is expected and the problem is the trend as it did not grow on Sunday and it needed more growth on Saturday. It is the Sunday number which hurts as no Sunday growth could mean a struggle over the weekdays.

The film has done better in the multiplexes of Mumbai and South but the mass markets are dull and horror normally performs well in mass markets. The problem here is the horror is more the Hollywood type so only metros have a chance but here they have not collected as they should. The film did face competition from SHUBH MANGAL ZYADA SAAVDHAN but has not affected the film as there is more than enough space for these type of films.

The first weekend business of BHOOT: PART ONE – THE HAUNTED SHIP is as follows..
Friday - 5,00,00,000
Saturday - 5,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 5,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 16,00,00,000 apprx

BHOOT: PART ONE – THE HAUNTED SHIP showed growth of 10% which is decent considering its coming off a holiday. The film collected 5.50 crore nett to take its total to 10.50 crore nett. This means that real value growth for the film is 45-50% which is reasonable.

Obviously it should be more due to the lower starting point but as its horror genre its hard to expected big growth like a social or film or a comedy for the big big centres. The second day keeps BHOOT: PART ONE – THE HAUNTED SHIP in the race due to the low costs but a lot depends on the Monday number. Good growth on Sunday can be a plus for the film but that may be difficult though it should jump more than it did on Saturday.

The first two day business of BHOOT: PART ONE – THE HAUNTED SHIP is as follows.
Friday - 5,00,00,000
Saturday - 5,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 10,50,00,000 apprx
