The trailer for DC, also known as DC: The Bloody Valentine, has finally landed, and the buzz on social media suggests that the audience is ready for something very raw. This project is particularly interesting because it features Lokesh Kanagaraj, the mastermind behind the Lokesh Cinematic Universe, stepping in front of the camera as the lead actor. Directed by Arun Matheswaran and backed by Sun Pictures, the film promises a gritty experience that is quite different from the usual commercial fare. The strategy behind the release date is quite logical. Initially planned for a late-July slot, the makers decided to move the film to August 7, 2026. This was done to ensure that Thalapathy Vijay's massive release, Jana Nayagan, which hit theaters on July 23, had enough breathing room at the box office. Interestingly, Lokesh himself made a cameo appearance in Jana Nayagan, showing the strong camaraderie between the director and the actor-politician before he prepares to lead his own film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the trailer highlights, the story follows two outcasts, Devadas played by Lokesh and Chandra played by Wamiqa Gabbi. They find themselves on a violent run after a police officer seeks revenge for a fallen colleague. The narrative also introduces a gang of criminals who have stolen a stash of discarded weapons, a theme that feels very familiar to fans of Lokesh's previous works like Vikram. To elevate the intensity, director Arun Matheswaran has opted for high-contrast black-and-white visuals for the action scenes, which has earned the film an A certification from the censors due to the raw action sequencing. The musical score is handled by Anirudh Ravichander, who seems to have delivered a high-energy background that matches the film dark aesthetic. Lokesh is currently in a very busy phase of his career. Having delivered the Rajinikanth starrer Coolie in 2025, he is now balancing his acting debut while preparing for his official Telugu debut with Allu Arjun in a project currently referred to as AA23. Watch the trailer here: Public interest is already visible on digital platforms. Ahead of its August 7 release, over 14,000 users have already marked themselves as interested on BookMyShow India. With the heavy competition from July now starting to settle, DC: The Bloody Valentine is well-positioned to attract the target audience that enjoys intense, stylised action dramas. It remains to be seen if Lokesh the actor can match the massive success of Lokesh the director.

Mumbai, July 30 - The highly anticipated trailer for Ramayana Part 1 has received a positive response from audiences, with fans praising its stunning visuals, grand scale, and impressive casting. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the epic has generated massive excitement ahead of its release, with many calling it one of the most visually ambitious films ever produced in Indian cinema. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Among the biggest highlights of the trailer are the lead performances. Ranbir Kapoor has earned widespread appreciation for his calm and divine screen presence as Lord Rama, while Sai Pallavi's graceful portrayal of Sita has also impressed viewers. Yash's menacing avatar as Ravana has created significant buzz and left audiences eager to see more of the antagonist in the film. However, one notable omission from the trailer has disappointed a section of fans –– Sunny Deol's Hanuman. Despite being one of the film's most anticipated characters, Hanuman does not make an appearance in the trailer. Many viewers took to social media to express that even a brief glimpse of Sunny Deol in the iconic role could have elevated the trailer to an even greater level. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) That said, the makers may have deliberately chosen to keep Hanuman's look under wraps. According to reports, Sunny Deol will have a limited role in Ramayana Part 1, reportedly appearing only during the film's climactic portions, while Ramayana Part 2 will feature the full-length role of one of the Chiranjeevis. By withholding his first look, makers may be preserving one of the franchise's biggest reveals for the theatrical experience and building anticipation for the sequel. Overall, the trailer has achieved exactly what it set out to do –– ignite excitement for Ramayana with its breathtaking visuals, faithful casting, and epic storytelling. While fans may have hoped for a glimpse of Sunny Deol's Hanuman, the decision to keep the character a surprise could ultimately make his on-screen debut even more impactful when the film arrives in cinemas. Part 1 is scheduled to release on Diwali this year. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})

The latest Spider-Man adventure has stormed the global box office with record-breaking debuts in several key markets, putting it firmly on course for one of the biggest worldwide opening weekends in cinema history.

After rewriting booking records for a Hollywood release, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is now tracking for a phenomenal $7 million (around 65+ crore gross) opening day on Thursday. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) These numbers will comfortably help Brand New Day register the biggest opening ever for a non-Indian film in the country and set a new benchmark for Hollywood releases at the Indian box office. With massive numbers already coming in from Asia and Europe, the Marvel-Sony blockbuster is on track to exceed $500 million in international opening weekend over its first five days. With North America also expected to deliver one of the biggest debuts over the weekend, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is now looking at an $800+ million worldwide opening. Combined with its domestic performance, the film is well-positioned to challenge some of the biggest global opening weekends ever recorded. The initial word of mouth seems to be excellent everywhere, making Brand New Day an unstoppable global box office force.

The global box office is currently witnessing a rare cinematic phenomenon with The Odyssey, which has officially transitioned from a big-budget spectacle into one of the legliest earners in modern history. As it concludes its 13th day, the film has achieved a staggering worldwide gross of 6,900 crore rupees, driven by a North American rampage that is currently outperforming some of the biggest blockbusters of the last decade. Let us look at the logic behind these historic holds and how the film is performing across India and the international circuit. In North America, according to Venky Box Office, the film is operating on a different level of audience retention. On its second Tuesday, the film recorded a gross of 16.36 million dollars. To give you some context on how massive this is, it comfortably beat the second Tuesday collections of Barbie (15.3 million dollars), Top Gun: Maverick (13.8 million dollars), and even the mighty Avengers: Endgame (12.5 million dollars). With a domestic total of 320.5 million dollars after just 12 days, it has already surpassed the final lifetime runs of Christopher Nolan classics like Inception, Dunkirk, and Interstellar. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Closer to home, the India box office for The Odyssey remains rock solid. On its second Wednesday (Day 13), the film collected a net of 4.25 crore rupees. This represents a very minimal drop of 10.5 percent from the previous day, a trend that is typical for high-quality IMAX releases that benefit from mid-week premium format viewing. The cumulative India net collection now stands at 132.50 crore rupees, with the total India gross reaching 158.20 crore rupees across more than 91,800 shows to date. The language-wise breakdown reveals that the English version continues to be the primary engine in India, contributing 3.75 crore rupees to the daily net. The Hindi version added 40 lakh rupees, while the Tamil and Telugu versions contributed 5 lakh rupees each. In terms of occupancy, the English 2D version saw an overall percentage of 19.11 percent on Wednesday. Regionally, Bengaluru remains a major stronghold with 22.8 percent occupancy across 208 shows, followed by Hyderabad at 17.5 percent. Interestingly, while Mumbai and the National Capital Region (NCR) have the highest show counts, their occupancies settled at 11 percent and 8.8 percent respectively, suggesting that the South Indian metros are providing the strongest per-screen support for the film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Logically, the global trend indicates that the film is not just relying on a big opening but is sustaining through powerful word-of-mouth. With an overseas gross of 3,800 crore rupees and a domestic North American total that is tracking alongside all-time greats, the 7,000 crore global milestone is now just a few hours away. The film is currently trending towards a massive third weekend, where it will likely rewrite several more records for the month of July. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Frequently Asked Questions: The Odyssey Day 13 Box Office What is the worldwide gross collection of The Odyssey after Day 13?

As Jana Nayagan heads into the final stretch of its opening week, the Day 7 numbers indicate steady hold for Thalapathy Vijay's cinematic farewell. With the Wednesday results now in, the movie has not only breached a significant global milestone but has officially claimed the title of the biggest overseas grosser of 2026. The One Last Vibe is resonating across domestic and international markets. On its first Wednesday, Jana Nayagan collected a gross of approximately 7.06 crore rupees in India. When we look at the net figures, the film earned 6.10 crore rupees, which reflects a 23.8 percent drop from the previous day. While a mid-week dip is expected, the film has managed to maintain a consistent run across over 10,000 shows nationwide. This takes the total India gross collection to 174.63 crore rupees, while the cumulative India net stands at 149.50 crore rupees. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The regional performance continues to be driven primarily by the Tamil version, which contributed 4.60 crore rupees to the daily net. In terms of occupancy, the Tamil 2D version saw an overall percentage of 20.75 percent on Wednesday. Chennai remains the strongest market with 34.5 percent occupancy across 752 shows, followed by Coimbatore at 23.3 percent. Other regions like Madurai and Bengaluru reported occupancies of 19 percent and 13.8 percent respectively. It is clear that the home territory is providing the necessary cushion as the film enters its second week. In the national cinema chains—PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis—the film saw a decent turnout for a weekday. The three chains combined sold approximately 28,000 tickets, resulting in a gross of 45 lakh rupees. Breaking this down, PVR led with 18,000 tickets generating 29 lakh rupees. INOX followed with 8,000 tickets worth 13 lakh rupees, while Cinepolis added 2,000 tickets amounting to 3 lakh rupees. While these numbers are modest compared to the opening weekend, they show a stable interest among urban audiences. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The digital momentum on BookMyShow remains significant, although the film missed out on a top-five spot for first-Wednesday ticket sales. With 101,490 tickets sold on Wednesday, it followed behind films like The GOAT, which had 139,000 sales, and Coolie, which recorded 116,000. However, the cumulative total on the platform is staggering, with over 35.19 lakh tickets sold to date. This indicates a very high volume of viewers even with the natural weekday trend. The most impressive story for Jana Nayagan is unfolding in the international market. On Day 7, the film added another 2.50 crore rupees from overseas territories, bringing its total overseas gross to 81 crore rupees. This performance has pushed the worldwide gross collection to 255.63 crore rupees. Logically, the film is now on the verge of shattering the record held by Karuppu, which has an overseas gross of 81.15 crore rupees. By achieving this, Jana Nayagan has officially become the highest overseas grosser of 2026. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Data shared by Venky Box Office provides further insight into the North American market. On Tuesday, the film recorded a gross of 85,000 dollars, taking its total in the region to 1.45 million dollars. While it faces stiff competition from Hollywood releases like The Odyssey, which has a massive cumulative total of 320.5 million dollars, the Spiderman-level interest in the Indian diaspora is keeping the numbers healthy. As the film heads into its second weekend, the focus will be on how much further it can push its record-breaking overseas run.

The final advance booking numbers for Spider-Man: Brand New Day are in, and they reinforce the fact that the web-slinger remains the primary driver of the Indian box office for solo superhero releases. Although the film did not quite reach the monumental milestone established by Avengers: Endgame in 2019, its performance has been nothing short of exceptional. Starting with BookMyShow, the film has achieved a milestone by becoming the first Hollywood release to sell over 50,000 tickets in a single hour. This is a significant data point because it reflects the peak momentum just before the first show starts. Since the introduction of the real-time trending feature in August 2023, no other international film has shown this kind of hourly velocity. The total ticket sales on the platform have officially crossed the 2 million mark. To give you some context on the growth, the film had sold approximately 1.39 million tickets between June 17 and July 28. However, on July 29 alone, it added another 615,000 tickets, showing a massive late surge in interest. Top 10 Hollywood Pre-Sales on BookMyShow (Since Aug '23): 1. Spider Man Brand New Day - 2M 2. Deadpool And Wolverine - 505K 3. Avatar Fire And Ash - 474K 4. The Conjuring - 443K 5. TheOdyssey - 340K+ 6. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning - 248K 7. Godzilla x Kong - 193K 8. Mufasa The Lion King - 152K 9. Jurassic World - 124K 10.F1 - 113K (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) When we look at the performance across the National Chains in India—which include PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis—the numbers are very strong, though they do highlight where the current ceiling for solo releases sits. For the opening day of July 30, 2026, the three major chains combined have sold approximately 6 lakh tickets in advance. This has resulted in a gross collection of roughly 27.50 crore rupees from these chains alone. Looking at the individual breakdown, PVR led the charge with 3 lakh tickets sold, generating over 14 crore rupees. INOX followed with 1.95 lakh tickets and 8.35 crore rupees, while Cinepolis contributed 1.05 lakh tickets, adding another 5 crore rupees to the total. The average occupancy across more than 7,700 shows in these chains remains at a very healthy 37 percent, showing that while the demand is massive, there is still room for walk-in audiences to fill the remaining seats. It is interesting to compare these figures with the all-time records. Even with this massive push, the record held by Avengers: Endgame remains untouched. Back in 2019, Endgame sold a staggering 10.25 lakh tickets in national chains for its opening day. That film benefited from a unique cultural moment where the Indian government allowed 24x7 screenings for the first time to meet demand, and A.R. Rahman even composed a special Marvel Anthem for the Indian audience. While Spider-Man: Brand New Day has outperformed Spider-Man: No Way Home, which stood at 5.50 lakh tickets, and Avengers: Infinity War at 4.86 lakh tickets, the Endgame milestone is a different beast entirely. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The buzz is not restricted to India. Detailed data shared by Venky Box Office provides a clear picture of the film performance in North America. The domestic opening day pre-sales reached 67.8 million dollars. This was part of a larger 100 million dollar plus pre-sale figure for the entire opening weekend. In the domestic circuit, the AMC chain alone contributed 20.8 million dollars from 1.13 million tickets. Other chains brought in 18.9 million dollars, while Regal and Cinemark added 12.1 million and 11.7 million dollars respectively. Canada also showed strong support with 4.3 million dollars in pre-sales. In total, nearly 3.95 million tickets were sold across North America before the first screening began. Logically, the trend shows that while the solo Spider-Man brand is growing, the collective hype of an Avengers finale creates a level of urgency that is hard to replicate. However, ranking as the second-best Spider-Man opening and the fourth-best Hollywood opening in India is no small feat. The film is currently trending at the fifth spot for overall BookMyShow pre-sales since late 2023. With a 300 million dollar domestic opening weekend now being a realistic possibility in the US, the film is set to be one of the biggest commercial successes of the year.

Dhamaal 4 is showing surprising resilience as it moves through its third week. For a comedy franchise that relies on repeat value and family audiences, the film is holding its ground despite newer competition. On its nineteenth day, which was its third Tuesday, the movie brought in a net collection of 2.10 crore. This is a notable 31.3 percent jump from Monday's 1.60 crore, suggesting that the film is benefiting from mid-week theater-goers and perhaps a steady word-of-mouth trail. This growth is particularly impressive because the film is currently navigating a market with strong holdover like The Odyssey, which continues to see good traction in India. While it currently sits as the fourth highest-grossing Bollywood film of the year, catching up to Bhooth Bangla will be a challenge. The road ahead is packed with upcoming releases like Batwara 1947 and Awarapan 2, plus the major Hollywood arrival of Spider-Man, which will make securing screens much tougher in the coming weeks. If we look at the broader picture, the India gross collection has now reached 182.32 crore, which translates to a domestic net total of 153.35 crore. The film has also found some traction abroad, adding 0.25 crore on Tuesday to bring its total overseas gross to 29.45 crore. Combining the domestic and international business, the worldwide gross for Dhamaal 4 now stands at 211.77 crore. This milestone is significant because it puts the film in striking distance of some of Ajay Devgn's biggest career hits. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ticket sales on BookMyShow reflect this late-week surge. On Monday, the film sold about 27,900 tickets, but that number climbed to 39,250 on Tuesday. In total, the film has sold over 26.56 lakh tickets on the platform since its release. In the national cinema chains—PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis—it currently stands as the third highest-selling movie, trailing only behind the massive holdover of The Odyssey and the recent hit Jana Nayagan. Looking at the daily advance figures for these chains, the film generated a gross of approximately 32.3 lakh. This came from around 16.7 lakh at PVR, 11.1 lakh at INOX, and 4.5 lakh at Cinepolis, totaling roughly 23,400 tickets sold across these venues. The regional occupancy for the Hindi 2D version shows that the National Capital Region (NCR) remains a stronghold with 21.3 percent occupancy across 620 shows. Mumbai followed with 17.8 percent occupancy across 405 shows, while Pune recorded a healthy 17.3 percent. Other regions like Ahmedabad and Surat saw lower overall occupancy but maintained strong night show turnouts, often peaking near 26 to 29 percent. This trend of evening and night show growth is helping the film sustain its daily numbers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In terms of annual rankings, Dhamaal 4 is currently the fourth highest-grossing Bollywood movie of the year. It trails behind Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, Border 2, and Bhooth Bangla. While it is performing well, surpassing Bhooth Bangla might be a tall order. The upcoming schedule is crowded with major releases like Batwara and Awarapan on the domestic front, alongside Hollywood heavyweights like Spider-Man. Additionally, the continued dominance of The Odyssey makes it difficult for any holdover film to claim more screen space. For Ajay Devgn, this film is another strong addition to his box office portfolio. It is currently very close to surpassing Singham Returns, which earned 216.56 crore worldwide. Once it crosses that mark, it will cement its place among his most successful leading roles. To give you some context on where this film stands compared to his other major solo hits, here is the ranking of his top movies based on worldwide gross collection.

Chennai, July 29 - Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan has reached another major milestone at the box office, crossing 250 crore worldwide while also surpassing 100 crore gross in Tamil Nadu in 7 days. After opening below the sky-high expectations associated with Vijay's farewell film, the H. Vinoth directorial has displayed good staying power, posting a solid first week despite the usual weekday slowdown. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Jana Nayagan has grossed around 246 crore worldwide in its first six days of release, with Tamil Nadu leading the charge with around 97 crore gross. The film has now crossed the prestigious 100 crore gross mark in the state, making it Thalapathy Vijay's ninth film to achieve the feat in the state, while also topping 250 crore worldwide in just 7 days. The milestone once again highlights Vijay's extraordinary dominance at the Tamil Nadu box office, where he continues to set benchmarks unmatched by any contemporary Tamil star. The film's performance becomes even more impressive considering the challenges it faced before release. Jana Nayagan arrived in cinemas after a release delay, suffered an online leak, and was awarded an 'A' certificate, factors that could have significantly affected its commercial prospects. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) However, strong fan support and Vijay's immense popularity ensured a solid opening weekend, while the surprisingly steady weekday hold has kept the collections, despite outright negative reception. The focus now shifts to the film's second weekend, which is expected to determine its long-term theatrical run. A strong hold over the weekend could comfortably push Jana Nayagan beyond the 300 crore worldwide milestone, which will be a massive win given the circumstances.
