Michael Becomes First Biopic To Top $1 Billion Worldwide As Disney's Live-Action Remake Moana Tanks With Under $100 Million Opening

Mumbai, July 13 - The global box office has witnessed a historic milestone as Michael, the biographical drama based on the life of pop icon Michael Jackson, has officially crossed the $1 billion mark worldwide. The achievement makes it the first-ever biopic in cinema history to reach the prestigious milestone, cementing its place among the biggest box office success stories of all time. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Driven by positive word-of-mouth and strong performances across North America, Europe, Latin America, and several international markets, Michael has continued to attract audiences weeks after its release. The film has resonated with both longtime fans of the King of Pop and younger moviegoers, resulting in remarkable legs at the global box office. Directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jaafar Jackson as the Pop legend, Michael has grossed $372 million domestically (North America) and $629 million in the international markets so far for the worldwide cume of over $1 billion. It is the second movie of 2026 to hit the milestone of a billion dollars after Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and the 62nd film of all time to do so.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Meanwhile, Disney's live-action adaptation of the billion-dollar toon, Moana, has failed to meet expectations.

Evil Dead Burn Box Office: The Hollywood Horror Opens 2x That Of Obsession In India

Mumbai, July 11 - The horror films have been doing really well at the Indian box office for the last few years, and the latest to join the list is Evil Dead Burn. The sixth instalment in the Evil Dead film series has registered a solid start at the box office, emerging as the biggest Hollywood horror opener of 2026. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The latest instalment in the iconic franchise has comfortably outperformed this year's surprise horror blockbuster Obsession, underlining the strong appetite for the genre among Indian moviegoers. The film has grossed approximately 4 crore on its opening day in India (including paid previews), nearly double the 2.10 crore debut of Obsession. Evil Dead Burn has also comfortably surpassed the previous franchise instalment, Evil Dead Rise (2023), which opened to around 2.25 crore gross before going on to collect over 37 crore gross during its lifetime run in India. The impressive debut makes Evil Dead Burn the biggest opening for a horror film in India this year. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The horror genre has been enjoying a remarkable run at the Indian box office over the last few years, with audiences consistently turning up for well-made supernatural thrillers. The success of films like Obsession, The Conjuring, and Evil Dead Rise has helped expand the audience for horror releases, and Evil Dead Burn has continued that momentum with an even stronger opening. With positive word of mouth (8.2 rating on BMS) and the weekend still ahead, Evil Dead Burn is expected to witness healthy growth over Saturday and Sunday. If it maintains its momentum, the film has every chance of surpassing Evil Dead Rise's lifetime haul in India and ending its theatrical run as one of the biggest Hollywood horror hits of the year.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Box Office Projection: Tom Holland Starrer To Miss $200 Million in North America Opening?

Los Angeles, July 10 - Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios' Spider-Man: Brand New Day is shaping up to deliver one of the biggest domestic openings in box office history. While excitement surrounding the Tom Holland-starrer continues to soar, the latest industry estimates indicate that the film is headed for a massive debut in North America. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to Deadline, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is currently projected to open in the $180 million - $190 million range across North America. If the estimate holds, it would comfortably register the biggest opening weekend of 2026 and rank among the largest superhero debuts ever. However, the projection currently falls just short of the coveted $200 million milestone that many analysts and fans are anticipating. Despite the current tracking, the film has every chance of surpassing expectations. Advance ticket sales are reportedly staggering, indicating demand that appears stronger than what a $180-190 million opening would typically suggest. With three weeks remaining before release, tracking is expected to evolve as premium-format screenings continue to sell out and momentum builds closer to opening day. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) History has shown that major event films, particularly Marvel releases, often outperform early projections thanks to explosive walk-up business and last-minute ticket sales. Given the exceptional pace of pre-sales, the current estimates could prove conservative, making a $200 million-plus opening weekend a realistic possibility. The last movie, Spider-Man: No Way Home, swung to a monstrous $260 million domestically, which was way more than what projections were showing. A similar kind of hysteria is expected for Brand New Day, which is most likely to open above $200 million during its domestic opening weekend; at least, this is what pre-sales reportedly suggest. The film is scheduled to release on July 31.

The musical biographical drama has emerged as one of the biggest commercial successes of the year and is now only a few million dollars away from reaching the historic milestone. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film has already concluded its run in India with a gross collection of over 83.50 crore.

Strong performances across Europe, Latin America, and Asia have ensured that the film maintained momentum well beyond its opening weeks, putting it on course to surpass the landmark figure.

Supergirl OTT Release Date: When and Where To Watch DC's Latest Superhero Film

Mumbai, July 6 - Warner Bros and DC Studios' latest superhero film Supergirl is reportedly heading to digital platforms sooner than expected following its disappointing theatrical performance worldwide. According to the reports, the Milly Alcock-starrer is eyeing a July 28, 2026, digital release date, although Warner Bros. has not officially confirmed the announcement yet. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to a viral post, Supergirl will become available on Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) platforms including Apple TV, Prime Video, Vudu, and Google Play Movies & TV. The movie is expected to be offered for both digital rental and purchase. Released theatrically on June 26, 2026, Supergirl struggled to generate strong momentum at the global box office despite being part of James Gunn's new DC Universe. The film opened to $60+ million worldwide in the opening weekend. Industry analysts described the debut as disappointing for a superhero film carrying a reported production budget of approximately $170 million. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The movie has managed to top $100 million but is heading towards a disastrous $150 million worldwide finish. Reports suggest the movie could ultimately result in losses exceeding $100 million for Warner Bros. once marketing and distribution costs are factored in. Directed by Craig Gillespie, Supergirl stars Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El / Supergirl. The film is inspired by the acclaimed comic storyline Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and follows Kara on an emotional and violent intergalactic journey.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Defies Superhero Fatigue With Record Advance Booking

Los Angeles, June 19 - At a time when Hollywood continues debating the existence of superhero fatigue, Sony and Marvel's Spider-Man: Brand New Day has delivered a massive response even before its release. The Tom Holland starrer has reportedly recorded the biggest first-day U.S. presales in five years, instantly becoming one of the most anticipated films of 2026. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Director Destin Daniel Cretton's film has posted the best first-day presales in five years and the fourth-biggest of all time, though the numbers are not revealed. The strong booking numbers are particularly significant because the superhero genre has struggled in recent years. Several comic-book films have underperformed both critically and commercially, leading many to believe audiences were beginning to lose interest in superhero stories. However, Spider-Man continues to stand apart from the rest of the genre. One major reason is the character's universal appeal. Unlike larger-than-life superheroes, Peter Parker has always felt relatable to audiences. Across generations, Spider-Man films have balanced emotional storytelling, humour, and spectacle in a way that keeps viewers emotionally invested. Tom Holland's version of the character especially resonated with younger audiences through his grounded, vulnerable portrayal. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The excitement surrounding Brand New Day has also been fueled by the emotional ending of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Fans are eager to see what happens next after Peter Parker sacrificed his identity and personal relationships to save the multiverse. Early footage from the film hints at a darker and more isolated Spider-Man, which has only increased anticipation online. The overwhelming presales response proves that the superhero fatigue might be real, but Spidey is unaffected by it. Spider-Man remains one of the few superhero brands capable of turning a comic-book film into a genuine cinematic event, and Brand New Day is already shaping up to be another major box-office success. It is scheduled to release on July 30 in India and July 31 in the US.

Supergirl Box Office: DC Superhero Film Crashes With Likely $100+ Million Loss To Warner Bros.

Mumbai, July 1 - DC's latest superhero film Supergirl has emerged as one of the biggest box-office disappointments of the year, with Hollywood trade analysts projecting losses that could exceed $100 million for Warner Bros. Discovery. The film opened to around $63 million worldwide, a weak debut for a comic-book blockbuster carrying a production budget estimated between $170 million and $185 million. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Starring Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, Supergirl was expected to continue the momentum of DC Studios' rebooted cinematic universe. However, mixed audience reactions and softer-than-expected ticket sales quickly raised concerns about the film's long-term performance. Reports suggest the studio also spent more than $100 million on global marketing, pushing the overall investment far higher. The film scored $37.10 million domestically (North America) and $25.50 million internationally in the opening weekend, which is lower than WB's own estimates. Per Variety, the movie now faces an uphill battle to recover its costs. Since studios receive only a portion of ticket revenue after theatres split, analysts believe Supergirl would need to earn well above $400 million globally to approach profitability. Current projections place its final worldwide total much lower, potentially resulting in losses between $100 million and $150 million. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The disappointing performance has reignited debate over superhero fatigue in Hollywood. Industry observers point to increasing audience burnout, heavy summer competition, and the challenge of launching lesser-known comic-book characters as major reasons behind the underwhelming turnout. Some critics have also questioned the film's marketing strategy and tonal direction.

Mumbai, June 29 - Curry Barker's supernatural horror sensation Obsession continues its extraordinary run at the Indian box office and is now inching closer to the 100 crore gross milestone. The indie horror blockbuster, starring Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette, has emerged as one of the biggest surprise success stories of 2026, and is now on course to become the highest-grossing foreign horror title in India.

Multiple international entertainment outlets report that the film is expected to arrive on Apple TV on June 30, 2026. While it is not yet confirmed if it will be available in India on the same day, it is said that the uncensored cut of the movie will stream online. Obsession was earlier supposed to stream online on June 2, but the makers delayed the release due to its unanticipated box office turnaround. Instead of following the usual short theatrical-to-digital window often seen with horror releases, the makers chose to extend the cinema run to maximise theatrical earnings as audience demand remained strong, and continues to bring in footfalls at the box office.

CBFC Cuts 5 Minutes of Spider-Man: Brand New Day India? Here Is The Truth

Mumbai, June 18 - Sony and Marvel's Spider-Man: Brand New Day is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated Hollywood films of 2026. Ever since Spider-Man: No Way Home became a global blockbuster, fans have been eagerly waiting to see Tom Holland return as Peter Parker in the next chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The excitement around the film is especially massive in India, where Spider-Man continues to be one of Marvel's most popular superheroes. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Recently, social media was flooded with rumours claiming that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) had cut nearly five minutes from the Indian version of the film.

However, Sony Pictures India has now dismissed these claims. Responding to discussions on X (formerly Twitter), the studio clarified that Spider-Man: Brand New Day has yet to receive certification in India. This means reports about the CBFC already imposing cuts on the film are inaccurate and premature. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) At present, there is no official CBFC certification record confirming any edits or scene removals from the movie.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day to skip IMAX release in India as Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey secures exclusive screens

July is shaping up to be one of the biggest months for Hollywood releases in India, with two massive titles arriving just weeks apart. Christopher Nolan's period epic, The Odyssey, is scheduled to hit screens on July 17, followed by the highly anticipated Spider-Man: Brand New Day on July 30. While both films are still a few weeks away, the buzz is already reflected in the advance bookings. Tickets for The Odyssey went live on June 8, while Spider-Man bookings opened yesterday, June 17. The response has been overwhelming, suggesting a massive opening for both films at the Indian box office. However, there is a specific detail that has caught the attention of Marvel fans. For the first time in a long while, a solo Spider-Man film will skip an IMAX release in India. While these films are usually a staple for the giant screen format, Sony Pictures India recently confirmed that Spider-Man: Brand New Day will not be available in IMAX. Instead, the studio is steering audiences toward other premium large-format screens like PXL, 4DX, ScreenX, and Dolby Cinema. This decision is not about the film's quality, but rather a strategic screen-locking move by Christopher Nolan. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The reason behind this IMAX absence is the exclusive window secured for The Odyssey. Nolan's latest project was shot entirely using IMAX 70mm film cameras, making it a priority for the format globally. Because of the technical requirements and Nolan's long-standing partnership with the brand, all IMAX screens in India and around the world will exclusively play The Odyssey for a minimum of three weeks. Since Spider-Man arrives just thirteen days after Nolan's film, it falls directly into this lockout period, leaving no room for the web-slinger on IMAX screens. This trend of exclusive IMAX windows is becoming more common as filmmakers push for specific cinematic experiences. We saw a similar situation during the release of Oppenheimer in 2023, where its sustained performance kept other big titles away from IMAX for weeks. It looks like the industry is heading toward more of these clashes, as reports suggest that the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday might also face similar screen issues when it goes up against Dune: Part Three later in the year. To counter this, studios like Disney are even looking into introducing their own premium certifications to ensure their blockbusters still feel like a grand event. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Despite the lack of IMAX shows, the hype for Spider-Man: Brand New Day remains incredibly high. Fans are quickly filling up shows in other immersive formats like 4DX and ScreenX, which offer their own unique viewing experiences. The film also holds a unique connection to its competitor, as Tom Holland stars in both of these July blockbusters. It is a rare situation where an actor will be competing against himself at the box office with two of the years most anticipated movies. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to release in multiple languages including English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. Indian audiences will actually get to see the film on July 30, a day before its global release on July 31. With a wide variety of formats like 3D, Dolby Cinema, and MX4D still available, the movie is expected to dominate the charts, even if the biggest screens in the country are occupied by Nolan's epic journey.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Heads For $200 Million Opening Weekend In North America; But Can It Come Close To Spider-Man: No Way Home?

Los Angeles, June 18 - Sony and Marvel's Spider-Man: Brand New Day is shaping up to be one of the biggest theatrical releases of 2026, with early projections suggesting that the highly anticipated superhero film could open to more than $200 million during its debut weekend in North America.

Fans are particularly excited to see Holland return to the role following the record-breaking success of Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Although Brand New Day may not have the same nostalgia-driven multiverse appeal as its predecessor, the strong pre-release hype suggests that audiences are more than ready for another Spider-Man adventure on the big screen. Positive social media reactions, high trailer engagement, and strong ticket demand have only added to expectations surrounding the film.

Christopher Nolan in Mumbai? The Odyssey Set for its First-Ever India Premiere with Major Hollywood Stars

Christopher Nolan is scheduled to visit Mumbai this July for the premiere of his upcoming epic, The Odyssey. This event marks a shift in how major Hollywood productions are rolled out, as it is the first time a Nolan project will hold an official premiere in India. Universal Pictures has positioned Mumbai as a key stop on the film's global tour, alongside cities like London, Paris, and New York. Nolan will be joined by lead actors Matt Damon and Tom Holland, as well as producer Emma Thomas, ahead of the worldwide release on July 17. Joining Nolan for this historic visit will be two of the film's lead stars, Matt Damon and Tom Holland, along with Academy Award-winning producer Emma Thomas. The choice of venue is just as significant as the guests, with the premiere scheduled at the PVR Icon IMAX at Phoenix Palladium. Given Nolan's well-known preference for the format, this location serves as the perfect backdrop for a film that is breaking new ground in technical filmmaking. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Speaking of technology, The Odyssey is not just another big-budget release. It is being billed as the first feature film ever to be shot entirely using IMAX cameras. Nolan has always pushed the boundaries of film stock, but by using brand new IMAX technology for the entire runtime, he is offering an experience that literally cannot be replicated on standard screens. This technical milestone is a major reason why the global anticipation for the July 17 release has reached such a fever pitch. The story itself is a reimagining of Homer's foundational saga, focusing on the decade-long voyage of Odysseus following the fall of Troy. To bring this massive tale to life, Nolan has assembled an incredible ensemble cast. Beyond Damon and Holland, the film features Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Zendaya, and Charlize Theron. For a single production to boast this many A-list names is rare, and it explains why Universal Pictures is treating the marketing tour as such a high-profile event. Watch The Trailer Here (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) From a business perspective, the buzz in India is already translating into record-breaking numbers. Advance tickets for IMAX screenings went on sale on June 8, and the pricing has become a major talking point. In cities like Mumbai and Pune, premium seats are being listed for as high as 3,000 to 3,300 rupees. While these are among the most expensive tickets ever sold in the country, the demand remains remarkably high, with many late-night shows selling out almost instantly. It shows a clear trend where the Indian audience is willing to pay a premium for a unique, event-style theatrical experience. Ultimately, this visit signals a shift in how Hollywood perceives the Indian market. By bringing the director and the lead stars for a full-scale premiere ahead of the July 17 worldwide launch, the studio is acknowledging the massive and growing loyal fan base Nolan has built here. It is no longer just about the box office collections; it is about establishing a direct connection with one of the most passionate movie-going audiences in the world.

Obsession Box Office: Three Horror Films That Grossed Over $100 Million Worldwide With Less Than A $1 Million Budget

Mumbai, June 9 - The horror genre has long been known as one of the safest bets in Hollywood. While big-budget blockbusters often require hundreds of millions of dollars to break even, several horror films have delivered extraordinary returns despite being made on incredibly low budgets. The remarkable box office run of Obsession has once again highlighted how low-cost genre films can generate massive profits when they connect with audiences. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Over the years, a handful of horror movies have achieved what seemed impossible, crossing the coveted $100 million worldwide mark despite being produced for less than $1 million. These films relied on strong concepts, innovative storytelling, and word-of-mouth publicity rather than expensive visual effects or star-studded casts. The most famous example remains The Blair Witch Project (1999). Made for an estimated budget of around $60,000, the found-footage horror phenomenon became a global sensation and grossed approximately $248 million worldwide, as per Box Office Mojo. Its unique marketing campaign convinced many viewers that the events depicted in the film were real, helping it become one of the most profitable movies ever made. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Another remarkable success story is Paranormal Activity (2007). Produced for just $15,000, the supernatural thriller revolutionised modern horror and eventually earned more than $193 million worldwide. The film's minimalist approach, combined with audience-driven marketing campaigns, transformed it into a cultural phenomenon and launched a major franchise. Obsession is the third film to join this rank. Made on a budget of $750,000, the film continues its impressive theatrical run, already grossing over $225 million worldwide, including $5 million in India. These examples serve as a reminder that in the horror genre, creativity often matters more than budget. While blockbuster spectacles dominate headlines, films like The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity, and Obsession show that a modest investment can sometimes yield extraordinary box office results.
