Top 5 Box Office Weekend Grossers (June 12-14): Haunted 3D and Obsession Emerge Winners As Ram Charan's Peddi Sees A Drop

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, June 15 - The Indian box office witnessed a competitive weekend from June 12 to 14, with a mix of holdover releases and new arrivals attracting audiences across the country. While Ram Charan's Peddi comfortably retained the top position, the biggest success stories of the weekend were Obsession and Haunted 3D, both of which delivered impressive numbers and continued the recent dominance of horror films at the box office. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Peddi emerged as the highest-grossing film of the weekend, collecting an estimated 26.30 crore during the three days. Although the film experienced a noticeable drop from its opening weekend, it continued to attract audiences in Telugu states and remained the top choice among moviegoers. The sports-action drama has already established itself as one of the year's biggest box office successes and is continuing its run despite growing competition. Hollywood horror thriller Obsession secured the second spot with an excellent 17.70 crore weekend. The film once again demonstrated extraordinary staying power, registering strong occupancy across major urban centres. The horror title has become one of the biggest surprise successes of the year in India and is steadily moving toward the 100 crore milestone. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Among the new releases, Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past delivered the strongest performance. The horror sequel collected approximately 11 crore over its opening weekend and emerged as the best-performing newcomer. The interest in the horror genre helped the film overcome limited screen presence and establish itself as a successful theatrical release. Varun Dhawan, Pooja Hegde, and Mrunal Thakur's Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai put up a decent performance in the second weekend, though the overall collection is still underwhelming. Rounding out the top five was Steven Spielberg's sci-fi Hollywood thriller Disclosure Day. The film found a niche audience in multiplexes and performed reasonably well considering the crowded marketplace.

Cocktail 2 Box Office Projection: Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, Rashmika Mandanna's Sequel Eyes Double-Digit Opening

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, June 15 - Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna's much-awaited romantic comedy drama Cocktail 2 is showing promising signs at the box office ahead of its release on June 19. The film's advance booking commenced on June 14, and the initial response from audiences has been encouraging, indicating healthy anticipation for the sequel. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In the first 24 hours of advance sales, Cocktail 2 sold approximately 11,000 tickets (without block seats) for its opening day nationwide. While the numbers are still in their early stages, the response suggests that the film has managed to generate considerable interest among moviegoers, particularly in urban multiplex circuits where romantic entertainers traditionally perform well. The positive booking trend has strengthened trade expectations for the film's opening day collection. According to early projections, Cocktail 2 is expected to open in the 12 crore to 15 crore net range in India, which would comfortably place it among the better Bollywood openings of the year. If the film manages to sustain its current booking momentum over the coming days, the higher end of that range could also come into play. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Cocktail 2 First Day Advance Booking Report The original Cocktail, released in 2012, had opened to 10.95 crore net at the Indian box office and went on to emerge as one of the most successful urban romantic dramas of its time. Based on the sequel's early pre-sales performance, Cocktail 2 appears well-positioned to surpass the opening-day collection of the first film and set a new benchmark for the franchise. Importantly, the film still has four full days remaining before release. Industry trends suggest that advance booking activity for major Bollywood releases typically accelerates significantly during the final 48 hours, particularly with spot bookings and last-minute ticket purchases contributing heavily to overall sales. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Homi Adajania, Cocktail 2 brings together Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna in a fresh romantic tale while carrying forward the brand value established by the cult 2012 hit. The film's music, star cast, and promotional campaign have all contributed to building awareness among audiences. With encouraging advance bookings, strong urban appeal, and a popular franchise name behind it, Cocktail 2 is currently on track for a double-digit opening. The next few days of pre-sales will determine whether the film can push beyond expectations and emerge as one of Bollywood's biggest romantic-comedy openings in recent years.

At the end of its third weekend, Obsession has already scored 77 crore gross in India and is now firmly on course to become only the second Hollywood horror title to enter the 100 crore club in the country. The film's third weekend collection remained remarkably strong, hinting that its run is far from over. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film's success is not limited to India.

The horror sensation has also become the highest-grossing film in Focus Features' history, cementing its place as one of the most profitable movies ever made. With its remarkable staying power and growing momentum, Obsession is now chasing even bigger records in India. If current trends continue, the film could soon become the highest-grossing Hollywood release of 2026 in the country and set a new benchmark for the horror genre that may stand for years to come.

Ken Karunas' Youth Becomes More Than A Box Office Success As GV Prakash's Music Strategy Makes Headlines

BY SACNILK

Sometimes, the biggest success stories at the box office are not only about opening numbers or star power. They are about taking the right risks at the right time. Ken Karunas' Youth has now become one such example, with the film emerging as a strong performer despite being made on a limited budget.The Tamil coming-of-age comedy-drama, directed by and starring Ken Karunas, was reportedly made on a budget of around ₹6 crore. The film has gone on to deliver a strong theatrical run, collecting a reported ₹71.73 crore worldwide, making it a major overperformer compared to its production scale. Adding another interesting chapter to Youth’s success story is GV Prakash Kumar's involvement with the film's music. As per reports, GV Prakash composed the entire soundtrack without taking any remuneration, supporting the project after director Ken Karunas approached him to bring more visibility to the film. The decision came as a gesture of goodwill, with Prakash reportedly believing in the film despite its limited scale. The film's music journey also reportedly had its share of challenges. Major audio companies were said to have shown limited interest initially, citing the absence of a major lead actor and doubts over the album's commercial potential. Instead of settling for a low-value deal, GV Prakash reportedly chose to release the songs through his own independent music label. The strategy gained momentum after the single Mutta Kalakki became a viral success, turning the album into an important part of Youth's overall success story. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As per the box office figures, Youth has earned ₹60.33 crore gross from India, with the overseas market contributing ₹11.40 crore. The film's India net collection stands at ₹52.62 crore, showing that the audience response has remained strong throughout its run.But beyond the theatrical numbers, another interesting success story connected with Youth is GV Prakash Kumar's approach towards the film's music album. As per reports, music labels initially offered around ₹50 lakh for the album. However, GV Prakash reportedly believed in the potential of the music and decided to release the album under his own label instead of accepting the initial offer.Following the album's positive response, reports suggest that music labels later offered around ₹5 crore. The album has reportedly already generated around ₹2.5 crore for GV Prakash, with expectations of reaching around ₹7 crore revenue in the long run. This becomes an interesting comparison when you look at the overall scale of Youth. A film made on a reported ₹6 crore budget has not only crossed ₹70 crore worldwide but has also created additional value through its music. The journey of Youth also highlights a growing trend in Tamil cinema. Films with controlled budgets are increasingly finding success when the content connects with audiences. Instead of depending only on huge investments, these films are proving that smart decisions, strong word of mouth, and confidence in the product can create bigger-than-expected results.With a reported worldwide gross of ₹71.73 crore against a ₹6 crore budget, Youth is now being reported as a super-hit/blockbuster success and stands as one of the notable surprise winners of 2026.

Shahid Kapoor's Cocktail 2 Gets A Certificate; 150-Minute Sequel Sets Kriti Sanon Milestone Selling 10,146 Opening Tickets

BY SACNILK

The upcoming cinematic window is looking particularly packed as we approach some of the most talked-about releases of the season. At the center of this excitement is Cocktail 2, a project that has caught everyone's attention by pairing Shahid Kapoor with two of the most successful leading ladies today, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna. While sequels often carry the burden of expectation, this one is making headlines for reasons that go far beyond just its franchise name. With its scheduled release on June 19, the conversation around the film has shifted from its chart-topping soundtrack to its surprisingly bold stance with the censors. In a surprising development, the Central Board of Film Certification has cleared Cocktail 2 with an Adults Only certificate. This rating suggests that the sequel might explore much more mature themes compared to its predecessor. Along with the rating, the official runtime has been locked at 150 minutes, which translates to exactly 2 hours and 30 minutes. This makes the sequel a slightly longer experience than the original 2012 film, which clocked in at 146 minutes and carried a more family-friendly U/A certificate. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) This certification marks a historic moment for the lead cast, particularly for Kriti Sanon. After spending twelve years in the industry, this is the first time one of her films has received an A rating. For Rashmika Mandanna, this will be her second encounter with an adult-rated Hindi film following the massive success of Animal in 2023. Shahid Kapoor, however, is no stranger to this territory. Cocktail 2 stands as the fifth adult-rated project of his career, joining a list of gritty and intense films like Kaminey, Udta Punjab, Kabir Singh, and his most recent release, O'Romeo. The decision to go with a more mature tone is an interesting shift for the franchise. The first installment was a romantic drama directed by Homi Adajania and produced by Dinesh Vijan, starring Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty. While the original team of Adajania and Maddock Films returns for the sequel, the shift from a U/A rating to an A rating, combined with the slightly longer runtime, indicates that they are aiming for a different narrative depth this time around. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The latest advance booking reports for the opening day are providing a more detailed look at the initial demand for the film. As of Monday, the Hindi 2D version has already generated 40.89 lakh in gross collections, excluding block seats. This amount has been gathered from 3,717 scheduled shows, with a total of 10,146 tickets already sold to eager fans. If we include the block seats, the overall gross figure reaches a much more substantial 1.73 crore. With the average ticket price currently set at 270 rupees, the strategy seems focused on capturing the premium multiplex crowd. These early statistics suggest a solid start, especially considering there are still several full days of booking left before the first show begins. Looking at the initial response from the audience, advance bookings opened at midnight on June 14, and the early numbers are encouraging. As of June 15 morning, the film has already sold approximately 6,950 tickets on BookMyShow. The momentum seems to be building steadily as fans look forward to the chemistry between the lead stars and the youthful vibe the film promises to deliver. When we dive into the data from national cinema chains, the early performance is quite visible. As of June 15 afternoon , the major chains have cumulatively sold about 7,680 tickets, resulting in a gross collection of 33.55 lakh. Breaking this down, PVR leads the way with 4,460 tickets, followed by INOX with 2,700 and Cinepolis with 520 tickets. While these numbers represent the very start of the booking cycle, they show that the urban audience is already showing an active interest. With the release date approaching, these figures are expected to see a significant spike, especially as the promotional campaign enters its final phase. The combination of a well-loved franchise name and a fresh, star-studded cast has created a strong foundation for the film. While the A certificate might limit its audience slightly compared to a U/A release, the youthful appeal and the curiosity surrounding the mature content could very well work in its favor. As it stands, Cocktail 2 is positioning itself as a major contender for the mid-year box office crown.

Peddi Box Office: Ram Charan's Sports Action Drama Beats Karuppu To Become Highest-Grossing South Indian Film of 2026

BY SACNILK

Hyderabad, June 15 - Superstar Ram Charan's sports action drama Peddi continues its decent run, and in this process, it has achieved a notable milestone at the worldwide box office by overtaking Tamil blockbuster Karuppu to emerge as the highest-grossing South Indian film of 2026. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi opened to strong numbers in the Telugu states and delivered a solid first weekend. However, the film has experienced a noticeable slowdown on weekdays, especially outside Telugu states, resulting in a decent rather than blockbuster theatrical run so far. In 11 days so far, Peddi has grossed 308 crores worldwide, and by the time of penning this piece, it has outgrossed Karuppu (308+ crore) to become the biggest South Indian grosser of the year. While the collections have remained steady enough to cross the 300 crore mark and Karuppu's running total, the film is still some distance away from achieving the larger milestones that many had initially projected. Despite the moderate trend after the opening weekend, Peddi deserves credit for becoming the year's top-grossing South Indian release and delivering much better numbers than Ram Charan's disastrous Game Changer. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Peddi benefited from Ram Charan's star power, positive audience reception in its core markets, and the lack of major competition during its first week. These factors helped it edge past Karuppu and claim the top spot among South Indian films released in 2026 (so far). The achievement is significant for Ram Charan, who adds a decent performer to his filmography after back-to-back box office duds, in the form of Game Changer and Acharya (extended role). However, Peddi's journey is far from over. With a reported break-even target considerably higher than its current worldwide total, the film will need to maintain a respectable hold in the coming days to improve its theatrical outcome. For now, Peddi can celebrate an important record. By crossing the 308 crore worldwide mark and overtaking Karuppu, the sports action entertainer has officially become the highest-grossing South Indian film of 2026, even if its overall box-office trajectory has been steadier than spectacular.

Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past 1st Weekend Collection: Rs. 9.35 Cr Net; Misses Top 10 Spot By 7.88%

BY SACNILK

Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past has completed its opening weekend at the box office, bringing in steady numbers that reflect a focused interest in the horror-mystery genre. As a spiritual successor to the 2011 hit Haunted 3D, this new chapter entered the theaters with a reported budget of 15 crore. After three days of play, the film has managed to secure a net collection of 9.35 crore in India.

Following a Friday opening of 2.50 crore, the collections jumped by 30 percent on Saturday to reach 3.25 crore. Sunday saw a further growth of 10.8 percent, bringing in 3.60 crore. This cumulative performance has pushed the total India gross to ₹11.03 crore, keeping the worldwide gross at the same ₹11.03 crore mark. Given the production scale, reaching nearly 10 crore net in three days is a respectable start, though it still has some ground to cover to reach the break-even point. In terms of occupancy, the 3D format has clearly been the preferred choice for the audience. In the National Capital Region (NCR), the 3D version maintained a consistent overall occupancy of 32.8 percent across both Day 1 and Day 3. The evening shows on Sunday were particularly busy in this region with 44 percent occupancy. In Mumbai, the 3D shows saw an even better response on Sunday with a 35 percent occupancy rate. On the other hand, the 2D version struggled to match these heights. For instance, in Ahmedabad, the 2D version saw 8.3 percent occupancy on Friday, which grew slightly to 10.8 percent by Sunday. These numbers suggest that the 3D gimmick continues to be the primary draw for the franchise. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With its opening weekend total of 9.35 crore, Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past currently sits at the 11th spot for the highest opening weekends of 2026. The film narrowly missed entering the elite Top 10 list by just 80 lakhs. Here is the list of the top 10 opening weekend performers of the year so far: Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge – ₹290.94 Cr Border 2 – ₹121.00 Cr Bhooth Bangla – ₹54.25 Cr O Romeo – ₹30.15 Cr Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai – ₹24.00 Cr Mardaani 3 – ₹17.50 Cr Pati Patni Aur Woh Do – ₹17.50 Cr Ikkis – ₹13.15 Cr Chand Mera Dil – ₹11.00 Cr The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond – ₹10.15 Cr National chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis contributed significantly to the Sunday totals. On Day 3 alone, these chains sold approximately 11,300 tickets, generating a gross of 36 lakh. PVR led the pack with 16 lakh in gross from 393 shows, followed by INOX at 11 lakh and Cinepolis at 9 lakh. Across the entire weekend, over 23,660 tickets were sold through these major national chains. Ticket sales on BookMyShow also stayed healthy, with 51,450 tickets booked in the last 24 hours of the weekend, bringing the total platform sales to 174,150 tickets. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Comparing this performance to the original 2011 Haunted 3D provides an interesting perspective. The first film was a certified hit, ending its run with an India net of 25.37 crore and a worldwide gross of 34.25 crore. While Echoes of the Past has a ways to go before matching those lifetime figures, its current weekend net of 9.35 crore puts it at about 37 percent of the original film's total domestic earnings. For the sequel to replicate the hit status of its predecessor, it will need to maintain a strong grip over the weekdays and avoid a significant Monday drop. The total show count for the weekend reached 10,807 shows, indicating a wide release for a film of this size. The film stars Mimoh Chakraborty alongside Chetna Pande and is billed as a spiritual successor that leans heavily into the gothic horror elements established by Vikram Bhatt. While the niche genre usually sees front-loaded performance, the growth seen on Saturday and Sunday offers a glimmer of hope for a steady run in the coming days.

Peddi Box Office: Ram Charan Starrer Beats Mana ShankaraVaraprasad Garu To Become Highest-Grossing Telugu Movie of 2026

BY SACNILK

Hyderabad, June 14 - Superstar Ram Charan's Peddi has scripted a major milestone at the box office by overtaking Mana ShankaraVaraprasad Garu to become the highest-grossing Telugu film of 2026 worldwide. The sports action drama has enjoyed a good theatrical run since its release and has now surpassed the lifetime worldwide gross of Chiranjeevi's blockbuster entertainer, taking the top spot among Telugu releases this year. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Buchi Babu Sana's directorial crossed the crucial milestone after moving past the 301.50 crore worldwide gross collected by Mana ShankaraVaraprasad Garu during its theatrical run on its 11th day, at the time of writing this piece. With strong collections from the Telugu states and decent performance in the rest of the markets, Peddi has managed to edge ahead to become the biggest Telugu grosser of the year. The film took an excellent opening at the worldwide box office and followed it up with a good opening weekend. Driven by massive anticipation and solid audience interest in the Telugu states, Peddi quickly emerged as one of the biggest openers of the year. Its impressive start laid the foundation for a successful theatrical run and helped it race past several major milestones within its first two weeks. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) However, the film's trajectory has not been uniform across all markets. While Peddi has continued to collect decent numbers in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana during the weekdays, its performance in the rest of India and overseas territories has been comparatively underwhelming. The Telugu version remains the primary driver of the film's business, with other language markets contributing only modestly to the overall total. Despite crossing 300 crore worldwide and emerging as the year's biggest Telugu grosser, the film is still some distance away from achieving full commercial success. According to trade estimates, Peddi carries a break-even target of nearly 500 crore worldwide, meaning the film remains well short of the mark required to recover its overall costs through theatrical revenues alone. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Nevertheless, becoming the highest-grossing Telugu film of 2026 is a major achievement for Ram Charan and director Buchi Babu Sana. The film has managed to set a new benchmark for Telugu cinema this year, even as it continues its box office journey with the aim of reducing the gap towards its ambitious break-even target.

Peddi Box Office Collection Day 10 Live Update: Ram Charan Film Surpasses They Call Him OG India Gross by a 2.6% Margin; Eyes Global Record Next

BY SACNILK

Global Star Ram Charan's sports drama, Peddi, has entered its tenth day at the box office with its sights set on a major domestic milestone. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana and featuring Janhvi Kapoor, the film has already established itself as a significant solo success for the lead star. After a resilient performance on its second Friday, the movie is now leveraging the weekend surge to solidify its position in the 200 crore club. If you have been tracking the numbers closely, you will notice that the film's stability in its home territory has been the primary reason it remains a top choice for the audience into the second week. Live Now The transition from the first week to the second has been smooth for the project. By maintaining a steady pace even during the working days, Peddi has managed to stay ahead of several other big-ticket releases from the current year. As we move into the second Saturday, the booking trends suggest a notable jump in footfalls across urban centers and mass circuits alike. The film is not just holding its ground in the Telugu states but is also showing a consistent, albeit smaller, presence in neighboring markets like Karnataka and the Hindi-speaking belts. Reflecting on the Day 9 performance, Peddi managed a domestic gross of ₹6.03 Cr, bringing its total India Gross to ₹235.98 Cr. The film recorded a manageable 18.3% drop from Thursday, which is a standard trend for big-budget entertainers entering their second week. The Telugu version remains the primary engine of growth, with healthy occupancy reported in major urban centers and mass circuits alike. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Globally, the film has achieved an early estimate total of ₹285.98 Cr in worldwide gross. With the second Saturday and Sunday expected to see a significant spike in footfalls, the film is poised to breach the 300 Cr worldwide mark shortly. As of Day 10 morning, the momentum indicates another strong day at the ticket windows across the domestic market. LIVE BLOG: PEDDI DAY 9 UPDATES 16:45 (IST) 13 JUN 2026 Peddi Day 10 Live Update: Afternoon bookings see massive 84% spike; India Gross reaches ₹239.80 Cr Currently screening across 2,015 shows, Peddi has recorded a live net of ₹3.24 Cr today. This brings the cumulative India Gross to ₹239.80 Cr and the total India Net to ₹201.94 Cr. The film is experiencing a strong weekend surge, as evening and night shows across the Telugu states and major urban centers expect significantly higher occupancy rates compared to the first week. The booking trends reflect a significant weekend surge. Between 3 PM and 4 PM, the film sold 7,370 tickets on BookMyShow, nearly doubling yesterday's 4,080 sales in the same window. The daily total from 7 AM to 4 PM now stands at 65,540 tickets, compared to 35,650 on Friday. In terms of 2nd Saturday momentum, Peddi recorded 49K tickets sold between 6 AM and 2 PM, ranking it alongside recent major hits like Salaar and Kalki 2898 AD for the same tracking period. 15:45 (IST) 13 JUN 2026 Milestone Alert: Peddi officially enters the ₹200 Crore India Net Club; Ranks 9th Fastest in Tollywood History It is now official—Peddi has breached the prestigious ₹200 Crore India Net milestone on its tenth day. As of Saturday afternoon, the film is dominating across 1,779 shows and has added a live net of ₹1.87 Cr today. This brings the cumulative India Gross to ₹238.19 Cr and the total India Net to ₹200.57 Cr. With this achievement, Peddi has secured its place as the 9th fastest Telugu film to hit the 200 crore domestic net mark. 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 13:15 (IST) 13 JUN 2026 Peddi Overseas Milestone: Film Chases $3.48M North America Record of Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu In the North America market, the film has officially crossed the $3.23M mark. It is now setting its sights on the lifetime record of Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu (#MSVPG), which holds a gross of $3.48M in the region. Currently, Peddi needs approximately $250K more to surpass the #MSVPG record and move higher up the all-time list. With a jump in the second Saturday and Sunday collections, the film has a very high probability of achieving this target by the end of its second weekend. 12:30 (IST) 13 JUN 2026 Peddi Day 10 Live Update: Film Ranks 8th in All-Time First 9 Days Net; India Net hits ₹199.52 Cr As of Saturday afternoon, Peddi is witnessing a strong jump in footfalls across 1,049 shows. The film has added a live net of ₹0.82 Cr today, taking the total India Gross to ₹236.95 Cr and the total India Net to ₹199.52 Cr. The film is now just a few lakhs away from officially breaching the prestigious 200 crore domestic milestone. Historically, the film continues to solidify its position among Tollywood's biggest earners. In terms of First 9 Days net collections (Telugu version), Peddi has secured the 8th spot in history with ₹159.00 Cr, performing better than hits like Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy and They Call Him OG. With matinee and evening shows showing higher occupancy, a massive jump is expected by the end of the day. 11:15 (IST) 13 JUN 2026 Peddi Day 10 Live Update: Film Ranks 6th in All-Time 2nd Friday BMS Sales; Total India Gross reaches ₹236.23 Cr The film's second-week sustainability is further highlighted by its performance on BookMyShow. With 92K tickets sold on its second Friday, Peddi has officially secured the 6th spot in the all-time Tollywood list for highest BMS sales on a second Friday. It sits just behind Devara (98K) and ahead of several other major blockbusters, underscoring its consistent appeal at the ticket windows. 11:00 (IST) 13 JUN 2026 Peddi Day 10 Live Update: Second Saturday begins on a positive note; Total India Gross reaches 236.23 crore On its tenth day, Peddi has commenced its theatrical run across 675 tracked shows for the morning slots. The film has already added a live net collection of 0.21 crore today, bringing the cumulative India Gross to 236.23 crore and the total India Net to 198.91 crore. With the current momentum, the film is expected to officially cross the 200 crore India net milestone during the afternoon or evening shows today. Footfalls in the Telugu states remain encouraging as the weekend audience begins to turn up in larger numbers. @keyframes pulse { 0% { opacity: 1; } 50% { opacity: 0.2; } 100% { opacity: 1; } } .blinking-dot { height: 7px; width: 7px; background-color: white; border-radius: 50%; display: inline-block; animation: pulse 1.2s infinite ease-in-out; } { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "LiveBlogPosting", "headline": "Peddi Box Office Collection Day 9 Live Update", "description": "Live updates for Ram Charan's Peddi Day 9 box office collections and gross reports.", "liveBlogUpdate": [ { "@type": "BlogPosting", "headline": "Peddi crosses 229 Cr India Gross", "datePublished": "2026-06-12T10:00:00+05:30", "articleBody": "Peddi has officially reached a cumulative India gross of 229.97 Cr as of Day 9 morning updates." } ] }

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.
