Phone Bhoot's first-weekend box office haul of around ₹13 crores* was below average. Of sure, it should have performed better, but 90% of this year's releases have fallen short of their potential or qualities when they were released.
This parody horror comedy would have made at least ₹40–50 crores during its lifetime before the pandemic, but now it will be at most in the ₹21–22 crore range. Phone Bhoot as such experienced little increase throughout the weekend or on midweek partial holidays, and the remaining days were lower throughout the first week.
Phone Bhoot is expected to have a lackluster 2nd week as well considering its dying popularity & growing bad word-of-mouth. Phone Bhoot box office collection day 12 numbers are given here.

In the second week, Phone Bhoot may have had a chance to earn some money, but a half-dozen new Hollywood and Bollywood blockbusters will significantly diminish its chances. Phone Bhoot will undoubtedly gain popularity following its OTT release and become known for being undervalued. However, given the comedy subgenre, it is undoubtedly best appreciated by the masses, which regrettably wasn't the case here.
