Haunted 3D Echoes Of The Past Day 9 Box Office Collection: Cocktail 2 Impacts Horror Film’s Run

Haunted 3D: Echoes Of The Past has already achieved what very few expected when it hit theatres. Released with limited expectations and facing competition from multiple Bollywood releases, the Vikram Bhatt directorial managed to surprise the trade and emerge as a successful venture at the Indian box office. The film benefited from the goodwill of the original Haunted 3D and found its target audience despite receiving mixed-to-negative reviews from critics and sections of the audience.

However, the challenge for the horror thriller has now shifted from survival to sustaining momentum. After a strong opening week that exceeded expectations, the film entered its second weekend with hopes of gaining some traction. Unfortunately, the latest trend suggests that the momentum has slowed considerably. The arrival of Cocktail 2 has significantly impacted its theatrical run, affecting both screen count and show availability across key markets.

While the film remains a success story from a commercial standpoint, its lifetime collection now appears likely to finish lower than what many had projected after its encouraging first week. The second Saturday numbers indicate that the film is continuing its run, but the growth that exhibitors were hoping for has not materialized.

Haunted 3D Echoes Of The Past Day 9 Box Office Collection

The Mimoh Chakraborty starrer remained flat on its second Saturday. Unlike most successful films that witness a noticeable jump during the second weekend, Haunted 3D: Echoes Of The Past failed to register any growth.

According to estimates, the Bollywood romantic horror thriller collected ₹50 lakh on Day 9. The collection is identical to Day 8, resulting in a zero percent growth rate. The film’s total India net collection now stands at ₹16.90 crore, while the India gross collection has reached approximately ₹19.95 crore.

The flat trend indicates that the film has lost much of the momentum it generated during its opening week. While the movie continues to attract a section of horror fans, the audience influx is no longer strong enough to drive significant growth. The film’s journey at the box office reflects a strong opening weekend followed by a gradual decline during weekdays and the second weekend.

The biggest concern for the makers is that the second Saturday failed to show any improvement over Friday. Typically, successful films witness some level of weekend growth due to increased footfalls. In this case, the collections remained stagnant, suggesting that the available audience base may have already been exhausted.

Cocktail 2 Has Impacted Haunted 3D’s Run

One of the major reasons behind the slowdown is the arrival of Cocktail 2. The Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna starrer has dominated multiplex screens and captured the attention of urban audiences.

As a result, Haunted 3D: Echoes Of The Past has lost a significant number of screens and shows across India. While the horror thriller had comfortably emerged as the winner among the four films that released alongside it, the second week has presented an entirely different challenge.

The reduction in showcasing has naturally impacted collections. Even if there is audience interest, fewer screens mean limited earning potential. This has restricted the film’s ability to capitalize on its successful first-week performance.

Still A Success Story At The Box Office

Despite the slowdown, the film remains one of Bollywood’s surprise success stories of 2026. Considering the limited expectations before release, crossing the production budget and entering the profit zone is a significant achievement.

The movie demonstrated that there is still a strong audience for horror thrillers when supported by a recognizable franchise and effective targeting of the core audience. It also proved that box office success does not always depend on glowing reviews.

The first week established the film as a profitable venture, and the second week is now focused on maximizing returns rather than chasing recovery.

Expected Lifetime Collection

Based on current trends, Haunted 3D: Echoes Of The Past is likely to conclude its theatrical run around the ₹22 crore net mark in India.

While that figure may be lower than what was projected after the first week, it still represents a successful outcome given the film’s budget and pre-release expectations. The fact that the movie has managed to stay ahead of several bigger releases and recover its investment comfortably is an achievement in itself.
