Nobody saw this coming. A Hollywood horror thriller with no A-list megastar, no franchise backing, no massive marketing blitz — and yet *Obsession* is quietly writing one of the most impressive [box office](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_office) stories of 2026 in India. The numbers are not just good; they are genuinely sensational.

## Obsession : Numbers That Tell the Story

*Obsession* witnessed another strong day at the Indian box office, collecting Rs 4.50 crore on the discounted second Tuesday. The film registered a 7–8 per cent spike on Monday and an impressive 25 per cent jump compared to the first Tuesday — a superb hold for any film in its second week.

The running cumulative gross has now crossed the Rs 50 crore mark (USD 5.27 million) in just 12 days of theatrical run, including paid previews.

## Where Can *Obsession* Go From Here?

The trajectory is nothing short of remarkable. The second week is currently headed for around Rs 36 crore, which would take the film’s total to approximately Rs 58 crore by Thursday, and from there the film has the potential to reach Rs 80–90 crore, with an outside chance at the Rs 100 crore mark.

The film is also eyeing to surpass the lifetime collections of *Michael* and *Project Hail Mary* in India, which would itself be a remarkable achievement for a film that has already far exceeded the most optimistic expectations.

The road ahead isn’t without hurdles, though, as the film will face competition from several Hollywood and Bollywood releases throughout June. But given how strongly weekday holds are performing, the film’s legs look unusually sturdy.

## Why This Run Matters

It is rare for a non-franchise Hollywood thriller to sustain this kind of momentum in the Indian market, where weekday drops are typically steep. The fact that *Obsession* is actually growing on second-week Tuesdays compared to the first speaks volumes about authentic word-of-mouth driving audiences to cinemas.
