Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 had crossed ₹100 crore on Saturday and it added ₹50 crore more on Sunday despite a slight dip in the domestic collections due to Bhai Dooj. According to Sacnlik, the film has now earned ₹106 crore (and ₹127 crore gross) in India in its opening weekend. Overseas, the horror comedy has grossed $3.6 million ( ₹30 crore), taking its worldwide opening weekend total to ₹157 crore.

The encouraging thing for the team of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is that it has amassed all these numbers despite stiff competition from Rohit Shetty's multi-starrer action saga Singham Again, which was also released on the same day. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is neck and neck with Singham Again despite receiving fewer screens across India. Trade insiders say that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 received 40% new screens while Singham Again got 60%. Despite that, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has done well, registering 70-75% occupancy over the weekend.

The real test for the film will be on Monday, the first weekday after the Diwali break. The weekend and Diwali holidays had significantly contributed to the film's bumper opening. But a long run and higher lifetime figure completely depends on whether the film can pass the Monday test by avoiding a big drop.
