The Bethlehem Kudumba Unit recorded a 33.3% drop in box office earnings on its 26th day, collecting Rs 1.40 crore domestically and bringing its total Indian haul to Rs 149.90 crore while its worldwide gross reached Rs 310.55 crore. Overseas collections contributed an additional Rs 50 lakh to the total. This decline follows a steady erosion in daily takings after a strong opening weekend.
The film’s earnings on Day 26 were split across regional languages, with the Malayalam version leading at Rs 1.25 crore, the Telugu version earning Rs 10 lakh, and the Tamil version bringing in Rs 5 lakh. The trend of midweek slowdowns continued, as Day 25 had already seen collections fall to Rs 2.10 crore after a brief rebound on Day 24.
Since its release on August 21, Bethlehem Kudumba Unit has experienced inconsistent box office performance. It opened with Rs 4.90 crore on its first day and peaked at Rs 10.40 crore during its second weekend. However, weekly totals have declined steadily: Week 1 generated Rs 52.30 crore, Week 2 brought in Rs 49.85 crore, and Week 3 dropped further to Rs 33.30 crore. By the fourth week, the film had earned Rs 14.45 crore, with Day 26 marking its lowest single-day gross since opening.
The film’s performance aligns with typical patterns for long-running releases, where weekend audiences sustain interest while weekday collections weaken. This shift suggests the film’s future box office success may now depend on word-of-mouth promotion or specialized repeat screenings rather than sustained daily attendance. The decline indicates the film is approaching the end of its commercial run unless renewed interest, such as award nominations or a streaming partnership, emerges to extend its lifespan.
Internationally, Bethlehem Kudumba Unit has earned Rs 135.50 crore, though domestic collections now play a decisive role in its longevity. Directed by Girish AD, the romantic comedy-drama stars Nivin Pauly and Mamitha Baiju, exploring a first-love reunion storyline. Its release in Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu has helped maintain regional engagement, but the persistent midweek slowdown signals diminishing momentum.
