Top Opening Day Box Office of 2024: Singham Again takes second spot with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 at third; Stree 2 tops the list

The two Diwali releases, Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, have taken excellent openings on Friday, collectively raking in a sum of Rs 73.00 crore. It’s the biggest opening day collection ever in the history of Hindi Cinema, and this has happened despite a split in the Diwali holiday. Singham Again, with an opening in the Rs 40 crore range, has emerged the second biggest opener of the year after Stree 2, which opened at Rs 54.50 crore in a 3-way clash with Vedaa and Khel Khel Mein.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 on the other hand is the third biggest opener of the year, after Stree 2 and Singham Again, and both the films are on a healthy wicket after the first day business. The Kartik Aaryan starrer has collected Rs 33.25 crore on Friday. Due to the controlled costs, Bhool Bhuliayaa 3 is on a better spot as the strong opening day and a near Rs 100 crore opening weekend in itself will seal the HIT verdict at the box office.

Singham Again on the other hand got hit by the clash, as Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 proved to be a much bigger competitor than what one imaged. In a solo release, it was poised to open around the Rs 55 crore mark, whereas BB 3 was aiming a Rs 45 crore opening if solo on the same date. Both the films will score phenomenal opening weekends, and it’s then on the crucial Monday and Tuesday test to see how far they land.
