In a sea of Bollywood rom-coms struggling to hold screens, a Hollywood psychological horror thriller called Obsession is doing something extraordinary at the Indian box office — it’s actually growing week on week. And not by a little. This is the kind of word-of-mouth run that trade analysts circle in red and study for years.
Obsession: Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown (India Gross)
Obsession collected Rs 3.75 crore on its second Thursday, closing its second week at approximately Rs 37.15 crore gross — a remarkable 43% bigger second week compared to its opening week of Rs 20.85 crore. The running total stands at Rs 58 crore gross at the Indian box office after 14 days.

| Previews | Rs 0.55 cr |
| Friday | Rs 1.60 cr |

Why This Run Is So Remarkable
The numbers here tell a genuinely unusual story. Most films — especially foreign ones — see sharp drops from Week 1 to Week 2 in India. A 43% increase in the second week is rare and signals something special: audiences are actively recommending this film to friends and family. The second weekend figures of Rs 8 crore on Saturday and Rs 8.75 crore on Sunday are actually bigger than the first weekend days — that almost never happens.
What’s Next — Can It Hit Rs 100 Crore?
Directed by Curry Barker, the film is expected to see a promising spike in the third weekend as well, with projections of Rs 13 to 15 crore in the coming weekend — pushing the total closer to the Rs 75 crore gross mark. The film has the potential to cross Rs 90 crore in its full run, with an eye on the Rs 100 crore mark too. However, multiple Bollywood and Hollywood releases throughout June will make that a challenging target to reach.
Obsession: Overview
Starring Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette, Obsession is a psychological horror thriller directed by Curry Barker, released in India by Warner Bros India and Universal Pictures India. The film’s consistent performance across weekdays — numbers that don’t crash even on Mondays and Tuesdays — is the clearest sign of genuine audience love.
