Evil Dead Burn Draws Blood at the Box Office — Rs. 25 Crore and Counting

Horror doesn’t always translate to big numbers in India, but Evil Dead Burn is proving to be an exception. The latest entry in the long-running franchise wrapped its opening week with a solid Rs. 25.45 crore gross, outperforming another recent Hollywood release and putting itself on track for a Clean Hit verdict.

How much has Evil Dead Burn earned?

The film collected Rs. 2 crore on Day 7, closing its first week at a total of Rs. 25.45 crore gross in India. That’s a notably better opening week than Curry Barker’s Obsession, which managed just over Rs. 22 crore in its own first week. The film has performed strongest in South India, followed by major metro markets.

What’s next for the film?

Evil Dead Burn now faces its toughest test yet: competition from Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. While the two films cater to very different audiences, how well the horror title holds against a major new release will determine its final run. If it manages to stay steady, it has a clear path through to Spider-Man: Brand New Day‘s arrival in cinemas, with no other major horror or genre competitor in between.

Current trends suggest the film is set to surpass the franchise’s previous installment, though reaching the Rs. 50 crore club will hinge entirely on its hold against The Odyssey in the coming days.

Part of a bigger trend

Evil Dead Burn‘s solid run adds to what’s been a strong year for Hollywood films in India, particularly titles without heavy franchise or IP recognition — a trend that’s included hits like Project Hail Mary and The Mummy. Not every release has replicated that success, though: both Toy Story 5 and Supergirl struggled to hold momentum, and Moana failed to find its footing at the Indian box office.

The Evil Dead franchise itself has built a cult following over decades, a legacy well documented on Wikipedia, which continues to give each new installment a built-in audience regardless of critical reception.
