When a Hollywood horror thriller without a single A-list Bollywood star quietly becomes one of India’s biggest box office stories of 2026, you stop and pay attention. Obsession, starring Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette, is doing exactly that — and it’s not slowing down.

The Numbers Tell an Exceptional Story
Obsession collected Rs 4 crore on its second Wednesday, registering a 10 per cent drop from the discounted Tuesday. The dip from the previous Wednesday was around 15 per cent — a strong hold by any measure. The horror thriller took its running cumulative to Rs 54.25 crore gross in 13 days of theatrical run, including paid previews.
What makes this even more impressive is the second-weekend trajectory. The film’s numbers actually went up on its second weekend — 2nd Saturday at Rs 8 crore and 2nd Sunday at Rs 8.75 crore — which is the hallmark of genuine word-of-mouth driven success. This is the kind of organic growth that money can’t buy.

Can Obsession Become the No. 1 Hollywood Film of 2026 in India?
The film is set for a good spike in the third weekend, with no significant competition expected. It is projected to collect around Rs 12–15 crore in its third weekend, taking the cumulative closer to the Rs 75 crore mark. Obsession has a strong potential to emerge as the No. 1 Hollywood film of 2026 at the Indian box office, overtaking Michael and Project Hail Mary.
The film is expected to close its two-week run with a gross of around Rs 58 crore. With Rs 100 crore firmly a possibility as the run extends, Obsession is writing a new chapter for what Hollywood horror can achieve in India.
As Wikipedia notes about the horror film genre, the category consistently punches above its budget at the global box office due to its strong word-of-mouth potential and repeat-viewing culture — and Obsession is a textbook example of that phenomenon playing out in India.
