Evil Dead Burn Refuses to Die Down — Even on a Monday

Hollywood horror doesn’t usually hold this well on a Monday, but Evil Dead Burn just proved it’s the exception. The film collected Rs 2.50 crore on its first Monday in India, marking just a 25% drop from opening day — a remarkably strong hold, considering Hollywood films typically fall 40-50% by the start of the week.

The film’s running total now stands at Rs 17.85 crore gross, and it’s tracking to close its first week around the Rs 25 crore mark, a genuinely impressive number for a horror release without major star power.

Evil Dead Burn: Day-Wise Collection Breakdown

Evil Dead Burn is already on track to be labeled a Clean Hit in India and is expected to outperform the lifetime total of its predecessor in the franchise. The bigger question now is whether it can cross the Rs 50 crore mark — a milestone that will largely depend on how it holds in its second week while going head-to-head with Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.

The film’s momentum fits a larger 2026 trend: Hollywood titles without heavy franchise backing have been outperforming expectations in India, joining a legacy of horror storytelling rooted in the Evil Dead franchise that has built a cult following over decades. Not every Hollywood release has managed the same feat this year, though — both Toy Story 5 and Supergirl struggled to sustain momentum, while Moana failed to find an opening at all.
