The Hollywood horror breakout Obsession has been on a gravity-defying box office run in North America for the last two weeks. The Indian box office got a taste of it this weekend, with the film collecting Rs. 9.25 crore (Rs. 7.50 crore nett) / USD 975K approx. This is probably the biggest opening for an indie horror film in India; most of the successful horror films are from bigger studios or IPs like the Conjuring universe.
The film opened to Rs. 1.60 crore on Friday and then doubled that figure on Saturday. On Sunday, the film further grew by 15 per cent to Rs. 3.75 crore approx, despite the IPL final. If not for the final, the film probably could have gone over Rs. 4 crore. That’s nothing to worry about, though, as the film should make up the lost business in the coming days. The advances for Monday are quite a bit better than its opening day and should be able to put up an extremely strong hold.
The weekdays’ hold will offer more clarity on where the film is headed in full run, but at this moment, it seems poised to reach at least Rs. 30 crore / USD 3.15 million. On the high end, it could be a lot more. Remarkably, the film reportedly cost just USD 750K to produce, which it should comfortably recover from just the theatrical share in India !!!
Obsession is yet another W for Hollywood in India this year, and once again it came largely unexpected. It is turning out to be a superb year for the industry, and that’s when the three biggest releases of the year, Avengers: Doomsday, The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day are yet to come. If these three maintain this ongoing momentum, 2026 will be the biggest year ever for the industry in India by a wide margin.
