'The Bengal Files' Box Office: Vivek Agnihotri Film Loses Momentum After Week Two

'The Bengal Files' clashed at the box office with Tiger Shroff's 'Baaghi 4' and 'The Conjuring: Last Rites'. It was this Hollywood horror franchise movie which did better than the other two movies. By the end of first week, the collection of 'The Conjuring: Last Rites' is Rs 67.87 crore. Meanwhile, there's been a lot of positive reviews and buzz around 'The Bengal Files' ever since its release, but that has not translated further in terms of its box office numbers, the way it did in case of 'The Kashmir Files', 'The Kerala Story'. 'The Bengal Files' has collected the lowest among all the three movies. However, there's been strong buzz around the film and it also released in much lesser screens than the rest of the two. The main market of the film was Bengal and the fact that it did not release there, curbed its box office impact. According to Sacnilk, 'The Bengal Files' had seen some growth over its first weekend on Saturday and Sunday. After that, the film collected in the Rs 1 crore mark all through the week and by the end of week 1, after Thursday numbers, the movie made Rs 11.25 crore.On day 8 which is second Friday, the film made Rs 6 lakh. However, it saw some mild growth over the second weekend and made Rs 1.15 crore and Rs 1.1 crore respectively on Saturday and Sunday. On Monday, day 11, it made only Rs 4 lakh and on second Tuesday, which is day 12, it has made Rs 50 lakh. On Wednesday, it has slowed down further and made Rs 39 lakhs. The total collection of 'The Bengal Files' now stands at Rs 15.39 crore. Clearly, the film has now lost steam further and will be ending its run at the box office soon. This Friday sees the release of 'Jolly LLB 3' starring Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi which may give a competition to all the three releases.
