Hollywood horror film Obsession is continuing its impressive run at the Indian box office, showing strong growth even during the weekdays. The film collected approximately Rs. 3.35 crore or USD 350K on Tuesday, marking a 45 per cent increase compared to its already solid performance on Monday. With this, the film’s total collection after 5 days has reached around Rs. 15 crore or USD 1.57 million.
What makes the film’s performance noteworthy is its ability to maintain momentum beyond the opening weekend. Typically, films see a decline in collections after Sunday, but Obsession has managed to keep attracting audiences during the weekdays. Tuesday’s earnings came very close to Sunday’s figures and even exceeded Saturday’s collection. In terms of ticket sales, Tuesday became the strongest day of the film’s run so far, surpassing Sunday.
Early booking trends for Wednesday also suggest that audience interest remains strong. Advance sales are reportedly closer to Tuesday’s levels and significantly higher than Monday’s, indicating that the film could collect around Rs. 3 crore once again. If this trend continues, the movie is expected to finish its first week with approximately Rs. 20 crore at the Indian box office.
Looking ahead, the film’s long term success will largely depend on how well it performs during its second week. However, based on its current trend, industry observers believe that reaching Rs. 50 crore is a realistic possibility.
The success of Obsession is particularly interesting because Hollywood’s performance in India is often driven by established franchises and well known intellectual properties. In the horror genre, major successes are usually associated with films from The Conjuring universe. Obsession, however, is an independent production made on a reported budget of just USD 750K.
The film’s Indian theatrical earnings alone are expected to cover its production budget, highlighting the scale of its success in the market. Its performance also adds to a growing list of successful Hollywood releases in India during 2026.
The year has already proven to be a strong one for Hollywood films in the country, and several major releases are still awaiting release. Upcoming titles such as ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, ‘The Odyssey’, and ‘Spider Man: Brand New Day’ are expected to further contribute to the industry’s performance. If the current momentum continues, 2026 could become one of the strongest years ever for Hollywood films at the Indian box office.
