The Mummy, directed by Lee Cronin, recorded Rs. 1.30 crore on its second Tuesday at the Indian box office. This reflects a growth of around 19 per cent compared to Monday and a 44 per cent increase over the previous Tuesday. The total collection of the film has now reached Rs. 27.15 crore gross in India.
Out of this, Rs. 10.15 crore has come from the first five days of the second week. Based on current trends, the film is expected to close its second week at around Rs. 30 crore. The overall lifetime business is projected to be around Rs. 40 crore in India, assuming steady performance in the coming days.
With this trend, the film is classified as a Clean Hit at the Indian box office. It has also become the second Hollywood success of 2026 in India after Project Hail Mary. The performance pattern is notable as it differs from typical Hollywood releases in the country.
The film is seeing its strongest response in South Indian markets, particularly Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. Usually, Tamil Nadu contributes around 10 per cent to Hollywood film collections, with markets like Mumbai, Delhi UP, and Mysore leading. In this case, Tamil and Telugu dubbed versions in these two states are performing better than the English and Hindi versions across India.
This trend highlights the wider reach of the horror genre, which tends to attract audiences beyond premium urban centres. In contrast to most Hollywood films that rely on multiplex driven markets, this film is drawing viewers from a broader base.
The box office performance also benefits from familiarity with the title. The earlier Mummy films released in 1999, 2001, and 2008 performed well in India, collecting Rs. 20 crore, Rs. 27 crore, and Rs. 48 crore respectively. When adjusted to present value, these figures are estimated to be around or above Rs. 200 crore. Although the current film is not directly linked to that series, the known title may have helped initial audience recall.
