Horror's Box Office Rise: Haunted 3D, Backrooms Score Good Opening As Obsession Continues Strong Run On Friday

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, June 13 - There were several new releases this Friday in India, and among them, the horror genre continues to emerge as one of the most reliable performers at the Indian box office. While several star-driven films hit cinemas on Friday, it was Vikram Bhatt's Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past that attracted the strongest audience response among the new releases, further highlighting the growing popularity of horror films in the country. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to estimates, Haunted 3D opened with an India net collection of approximately 2.50 crore (3 crore gross) on its first day. The film outperformed fellow Friday releases, including Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, Main Vaapas Aaunga and Governor, despite carrying a much smaller scale and lower pre-release buzz. The majority of its collections came from Hindi-speaking markets, where the film recorded encouraging occupancy throughout the day. New Hollywood horror thriller Backrooms has also generated interest among urban Indian audiences, particularly in premium multiplexes. On its opening day, the film grossed approximately 1.50 crores, including premiere shows. It was the least expected to perform, but it surprised the trade with its better-than-expected start, very much like Haunted 3D. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Meanwhile, holdover horror-thriller Obsession continued its impressive run at the Indian box office. On its third Friday, the film scored an excellent around 4 crore gross, which is in par with its second Friday collection. This has pushed the total Indian gross collection of the movie to 63.25 crores in 15 days. The movie is heading towards the 100 crore mark, which is a remarkable achievement for an original international title. Together, Haunted 3D, Backrooms and Obsession reflect a larger trend currently visible in the market: horror films are increasingly becoming dependable theatrical attractions, often delivering stronger returns than many mainstream dramas and star vehicles. The success of these titles once again proves that audiences are willing to turn up for well-marketed horror films with engaging concepts.

Peddi Day 10 Box Office: Film Officially Joins the 200 Crore India Net Club; Ranks 9th Fastest in History

BY SACNILK

Peddi has reached the 200 crore India net mark on its tenth day of theatrical release. The film maintained a steady pace throughout its first week and is now seeing a logical increase in collections as it enters its second Saturday. Reaching this domestic milestone in ten days confirms its position as a significant contributor to the 200 crore club for the current year, even as it continues to balance its massive production scale with real-time footfalls in various regions. The Saturday growth is quite evident when you look at the real-time ticket booking trends. Between 1 PM and 2 PM today, the film sold 10,140 tickets on BookMyShow, which is nearly double the 5,160 tickets sold during the same hour yesterday. Similarly, the cumulative sales from 7 AM to 2 PM stand at 47,820 tickets today compared to 24,850 tickets on Friday. These numbers indicate a healthy weekend jump of nearly 92%. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As of the afternoon reports for Day 10, Peddi is running across 1,779 tracked shows and has already collected a live net of 1.87 crore. This pushes the total India net collection to 200.57 crore and the cumulative India gross to 238.19 crore. By crossing this mark, the film has also strengthened its lead over the lifetime domestic gross of They Call Him OG, which concluded its run at 229.97 crore. The focus now shifts toward how much further it can push during the rest of the weekend. In terms of historical speed, Peddi has secured the ninth position among the fastest Telugu films to reach the 200 crore net milestone. While the top spots are dominated by massive event films that crossed the mark within the first three days, Peddi reaching this figure in ten days puts it ahead of several other major hits. Here is the list of the fastest Tollywood films to achieve this feat, arranged by the number of days taken: (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) RRR (2022) – 2 Days Pushpa 2: The Rule (2024) – 2 Days Saaho (2019) – 3 Days Adipurush (2023) – 3 Days Salaar: Cease Fire - Part 1 (2023) – 3 Days Kalki 2898 AD (2024) – 3 Days Baahubali 2 The Conclusion (2017) – 6 Days Devara: Part 1 (2024) – 6 Days Peddi (2026) – 10 Days Pushpa: The Rise (2021) – 16 Days Looking ahead, the international market is also nearing a significant record. In North America, the film is currently chasing the 3.48 million dollar lifetime gross of Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu. With the domestic net milestone now secured, the next major objective will be surpassing the 300 crore worldwide gross mark, which is expected to happen before the end of the second weekend. The current trend suggests that the film is well-positioned to maintain its steady run for several more days.

Box Office: Haunted 3D Surprises As Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, Main Vaapas Aaunga, And Governor Open On Expected Lines

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, June 13 - The crowded June 12 box office clash has produced an unexpected winner, with Vikram Bhatt's horror thriller Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past emerging as the strongest opener among the major Hindi releases. Despite facing competition from star-driven films such as Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, Main Vaapas Aaunga, and Governor: The Silent Saviour, the horror film managed to attract audiences on its opening day and take the lead at the ticket counters. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to estimates, Haunted 3D collected around 2.5 crore net on its first day in India, outperforming all the notable new releases. The film appears to have benefited from strong interest among horror fans and the brand value associated with Vikram Bhatt's earlier horror successes. Its opening is being viewed as a pleasant surprise, especially considering the intense competition it faced from multiple releases. Meanwhile, Main Vaapas Aaunga, directed by Imtiaz Ali, opened on expected lines with collections in the 1.15 crore range. The film managed to edge past Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata and secure the second position among the Hindi releases of the day. While the opening numbers are modest, the film's target audience and word-of-mouth will be crucial in determining its long-term theatrical prospects. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Kangana Ranaut's Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata also recorded an opening close to industry expectations. The film, based on the heroic efforts of nurses during the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, collected around 1 crore net on its first day amid stiff competition at the box office. Manoj Bajpayee's Governor also performed on the expected lines, bringing in around 90 lakh net. The film now relies heavily on positive audience feedback and weekend growth to improve its theatrical trajectory. The battle, however, is far from over. With multiple films catering to different audience segments, the weekend trend will determine whether Haunted 3D can maintain its surprise lead or if Main Vaapas Aaunga and Bharat Bhagya Vidhata can gain momentum through word-of-mouth. For now, the horror genre has once again demonstrated its ability to punch above its weight at the Indian box office.

Haunted 3D Leads Bollywood's 4-Way Clash; Advance Gross 17% Higher Than Imtiaz Ali's Main Vaapas Aaunga

BY SACNILK

Bollywood is gearing up for a massive four-way clash this Friday, June 12, with a diverse range of films hitting the big screens. From psychological horror and period romances to financial thrillers and rescue dramas, there is plenty on the plate for moviegoers. The advance booking trends for these films are now coming in, and the ticket sales give us a fair idea of how they might perform on their opening day. Let's take a closer look at the numbers these films have managed to rake in so far. Leading the pack in terms of both revenue and volume is Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past, directed by Vikram Bhatt. Serving as a sequel to the 2011 cult classic, the film brings back Mimoh Chakraborty in an atmospheric horror story. The movie has sold approximately 40,000 tickets across the country, resulting in an advance gross of roughly ₹71.4 Lakhs. Looking at the major national chains, PVR has contributed around ₹5.7 Lakhs, while INOX and Cinepolis have added roughly ₹4 Lakhs and ₹3.8 Lakhs respectively. The multi-format release in 2D and 3D seems to be a major pull for horror fans. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Following is Imtiaz Ali's highly anticipated period drama, Main Vaapas Aaunga. With music by A.R. Rahman, the film explores a cross-generational love story heavily rooted in the nostalgia of the 1947 Partition. Produced on a budget of about ₹70 Crore, the film has sold roughly 21,000 tickets so far, bringing its advance gross to approximately ₹61 Lakhs. The multiplex performance looks solid, with PVR bringing in around ₹22.6 Lakhs and INOX adding about ₹12.1 Lakhs. Trade expectations suggest the film needs a strong opening day in the range of ₹5 to ₹7 Crore to maintain a healthy theatrical value. Next up is Governor: The Silent Saviour, a biographical political drama directed by Chinmay D. Mandlekar. The plot revisits the 1990 Indian economic crisis, focusing on the events that saved the nation from bankruptcy. The makers utilized a distinct marketing strategy by offering the first 25,000 tickets at a retro rate of ₹50, which has certainly helped drive interest. So far, the film has sold about 22,000 tickets, resulting in an advance gross of roughly ₹56.3 Lakhs. In the national chains, PVR is leading with roughly ₹21 Lakhs, followed by INOX at approximately ₹9.9 Lakhs and Cinepolis at around ₹4.5 Lakhs. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Rounding off the clash is Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, a rescue thriller directed by Manoj Tapadia. The film features Kangana Ranaut as a brave nurse and uncovers untold chapters of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. Ahead of its release, the film has managed to sell approximately 22,000 tickets, bringing its advance gross to about ₹54.3 Lakhs. The breakdown for major chains shows PVR at around ₹16.2 Lakhs, INOX at roughly ₹8.7 Lakhs, and Cinepolis adding about ₹4.1 Lakhs. As a film honoring unsung heroes, it adds a patriotic flavor to this weekend's competitive lineup. With four mid-to-high budget films releasing on the same day, the audience's attention is clearly divided. While the horror genre is currently leading in terms of ticket volume, the directorial brands and star power across the other releases are expected to drive significant walk-in footfalls on Friday. It will be interesting to see which of these stories manages to capture the audience's heart and survive this major box office battle.
