Obsession Overtakes Project Hail Mary as Top Hollywood Grosser in India
A rare fourth-weekend surge driven by strong word-of-mouth has put the micro-budget thriller into a narrow box-office lead that trackers expect to increase.
Overview
- Indian trade outlets report that Obsession moved ahead of Project Hail Mary on June 21–22, with India net tallies ranging from about Rs. 75.3 crore to Rs. 75.69 crore.
- Koimoi recorded a Rs. 2.2 crore intake on day 23, a 69% jump from the previous day, and gave a week-by-week net breakdown of Rs. 18.55 crore (week 1), Rs. 31.25 crore (week 2) and Rs. 22 crore (week 3).
- Tracker totals differ by small margins, with Bollywood Hungama reporting a Rs. 0.60 crore lead for Obsession over Project Hail Mary, underscoring how close the year-to-date ranking is.
- Analysts cited in the coverage expect Obsession’s India net to climb further as the fourth weekend completes, with one projection placing a final tally near Rs. 90–95 crore.
- The film’s India surge mirrors its wider breakout — worldwide receipts have passed the $300 million mark — and its strong run is notable because most Hollywood releases in India typically decline after opening weekend.
