Obsession Box Office: Hollywood Thriller Explodes With Massive 125% Second Weekend Jump In India

Mumbai, June 8 - The Hollywood supernatural psychological horror thriller Obsession has emerged as one of the most surprising box office success stories of the year in India and worldwide. What started as a decent theatrical run has transformed into a genuine phenomenon thanks to exceptional word-of-mouth and sustained audience interest.

The film's remarkable growth during its second weekend has caught the attention of trade analysts and exhibitors alike, making it one of the strongest-performing Hollywood releases of recent times. Obsession collected approximately 9.30 crore gross during its opening weekend.

While the initial numbers were solid, the film's real strength became evident in the days that followed as positive audience reactions translated into stronger daily collections. Instead of witnessing the usual post-weekend decline, the thriller continued to attract viewers, setting the stage for a massive second weekend.

Massive 125% Jump In Second Weekend

After grossing approximately 22.10 crores in the first week, the film grossed 21 crore during its second weekend, which is almost equal to its full opening week numbers. However, what is most stunning is that the film registered a phenomenal +125% jump compared to its opening weekend collections of 9.30 crore, which is unheard of.

Such a jump is extremely rare, particularly for a Hollywood thriller, and reflects the strong word-of-mouth that the film has generated among Indian audiences. The second-weekend performance effectively turned Obsession into a breakout theatrical success. With the outstanding second-weekend haul, Obsession has now amassed approximately 43.15 crore gross in India within just 10 days of release.

The film's daily box office trend remains exceptionally strong, indicating that audience demand continues to grow. Multiplex chains across major cities have reported healthy occupancies, especially during evening and night shows.

Obsession India Gross Collection

S. No. Period India Gross Collection
1 1st Week ₹ 22.10 Cr
2 2nd Friday ₹ 3.95 Cr
3 2nd Saturday ₹ 8.10 Cr
4 2nd Sunday ₹ 9.00 Cr
5 Total (10 Days) ₹ 43.15 Cr

Can It Reach 100 Crore?

Given its current momentum, Obsession appears to be heading comfortably toward the 75 crore gross milestone in India. The film has already demonstrated extraordinary staying power, and if it continues to hold well over the coming weeks, a lifetime total approaching 100 crore gross cannot be ruled out. While the road to the century mark is still a long way, the film's current trend suggests that it has the potential to achieve numbers that seemed unimaginable before its release.
