Obsession Is Quietly Becoming the Biggest Hollywood Horror Hit of 2026 in India — And It’s Not Done Yet!

If you thought Obsession was just another mid-budget Hollywood horror thriller passing through Indian cinemas, think again. Three weeks in, this film is still packing seats, holding its numbers, and sprinting toward a historic milestone. Let’s break down exactly what’s happening.

Obsession Week 3 Box Office: Still Going Strong

Obsession added Rs. 1.65 crore on its third Thursday alone, wrapping up its full third week at Rs. 25.60 crore gross in India. It registered only a 30% drop from the previous week — a remarkably healthy hold for any Hollywood film in India.

What’s Next? The Rs. 100 Crore Dream

The Curry Barker directorial is expected to overtake Project Hail Mary this week, making it the No. 1 Hollywood grosser of 2026 in India. Based on current trends, the film could cross the Rs. 100 crore gross mark possibly by its 5th week, and will also become the biggest Hollywood horror film ever in India, surpassing The Conjuring: Last Rites.

This kind of box office stamina is rare. To understand why horror films have such a lasting grip on audiences, it’s worth looking at the psychology of horror — audiences are literally wired to return for more scares.

Why Is Obsession Performing So Well in India?

Three things are driving this run: strong word-of-mouth, minimal competition from new Hollywood releases, and the consistent draw of the horror genre with Indian multiplex audiences. The film is proving that a tight, well-made thriller doesn’t need a superhero suit to dominate.
