We provide a theoretical explanation of the results on the intensity distributions and correlation functions obtained from a random beam speckle field in nonlinear bulk waveguides reported in the recent publication Y. Bromberg et.al., Nat. Photonics \textbf{4}, 721 (2010). We study both focusing and defocusing case and in the limit of small speckle size (short correlated disordered beam) provide analytical asymptotes for the intensity probability distributions at the output facet. Additionally we provide a simple relation between the speckle sizes at the input and output of a focusing nonlinear waveguide. The results are of practical significance for the nonlinear Hanbury Brown and Twiss interferometry both in optical waveguides and Bose-Einstein condensates.
