Dhamaal 4 is moving through its first Wednesday with a typical mid-week dip in numbers. As the film hits its sixth day in theaters, the focus is on how it compares to other recent releases in terms of daily engagement. While the initial rush has slowed down, the film is still managing to hold a steady position in the current market. Dhamaal 4 has secured the second spot for ticket sales on BookMyShow during the 8 am to 3 pm window of its first Wednesday. With 33K tickets sold in this period, it stands ahead of other major 2026 releases like Bhooth Bangla, which recorded 31K sales out of its 93K daily total, and Welcome To The Jungle, which also saw 31K sales against an 87K daily total. Border 2 remains the leader in this specific comparison with 61K tickets from a daily total of 171K. Overall, the market is experiencing a quieter day, with the cumulative 24-hour ticket volume for these tracked films expected to stay below 100,000.This specific comparison tracks major releases where the overall 24-hour ticket volume on BookMyShow remained below the 500,000 mark for their first Wednesday (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Font style fo Looking at the specific hourly trends on BookMyShow, the film saw 33,110 tickets sold by 3 pm today. This is a noticeable decrease from yesterday's 45,210 tickets during the same period. A similar trend was observed in the 2 pm to 3 pm window, where the film sold 6,930 tickets compared to yesterday's 8,870. This downward trajectory is common for a first Wednesday, indicating a settling period as the film moves toward the end of its first week. The live box office data for Day 6 shows that Dhamaal 4 is currently running across 5,815 shows. So far, the film has collected a net of 1.54 Crore today. This brings the cumulative India net collections to 84.79 Crore. A major milestone has also been crossed on the gross front, as the total India gross collections have now officially surpassed the 100 Crore mark, currently sitting at 101.26 Crore. Final reports for the day are expected to push these figures slightly higher as the evening and night shows conclude.

Crossing the 100 Crore gross mark in India is a significant psychological win for the makers as the film heads into its second weekend.

Mumbai, July 15 - Shraddha Kapoor's much-awaited biographical drama Eetha might no longer hit theatres on its originally announced release date of August 28, 2026, according to a report by Bollywood Hungama. The Laxman Utekar directorial is now expected to arrive on a new date, with the makers reportedly evaluating whether to prepone the film or push it further into the year. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As per the report, Maddock Films is actively discussing multiple release options and is expected to announce a revised date in the coming days. One of the primary reasons behind the move is the crowded release calendar in late August, particularly the arrival of Yash's pan-India action entertainer Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, which is scheduled to release on August 26. Trade circles believe a direct clash could impact the box office potential of both films, especially in Maharashtra, where Eetha is expected to enjoy strong traction due to its subject. The report further states that both preponement and postponement are on the table. If the makers opt to bring the film forward, the Independence Day weekend or August 7 are among the possible windows being explored. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The development comes at a time when several Bollywood release dates are being reshuffled. Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia's Vvan, which was also slated for August 28, has already moved to September 25, opening the door for further adjustments across the release calendar. Directed by Laxman Utekar, Eetha stars Shraddha Kapoor as legendary Marathi Tamasha artiste Vithabai Narayangaonkar, with Randeep Hooda and Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub playing key roles. While the makers are yet to make an official announcement, all eyes are now on Maddock Films as it finalises the film's new theatrical release date.

As Alpha completes its twelfth day in theaters, the box office performance reflects a quieter run compared to the usual high-stakes expectations associated with the YRF Spy Universe. Despite the novelty of being a female-led entry in the franchise featuring Alia Bhatt, the film is currently navigating its second week with modest figures. Let us take a look at how the latest numbers and occupancy trends are shaping up for the film. On its second Tuesday, Alpha recorded a net collection of 0.85 Crore across 2,344 shows. This marks a 13.3 percent growth compared to Monday's 0.75 Crore, though the daily earnings remain on the lower side for a project of this scale. With these latest numbers, the total India net collection has reached 55.20 Crore, while the domestic gross now stands at 65.77 Crore.

When we combine the domestic and international figures, the worldwide gross collection for Alpha has now reached 92.47 Crore. This has been achieved through a cumulative total of 65,445 shows scheduled since the release. A closer look at the North American market via data from Venky Box Office shows that the film earned 9,000 dollars on Monday, taking its total in the region to 910,000 dollars. The film is now very close to the 1 million dollar milestone. If this is achieved, Alpha will become Alia Bhatt's 10th film to reach this mark in North America. This is a significant achievement for her as a solo female lead, following the success of her previous hits: Gully Boy, Gangubai Kathiawadi, Raazi, Dear Zindagi, Kalank, 2 States, Badrinath Ki Dulhania, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, and Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.

Morning shows started slowly at 7.00 percent, but the numbers improved as the day went on. Afternoon shows recorded 17.54 percent, followed by 20.54 percent in the evening.

Mumbai, July 15 - Netflix has released its latest Global Top 10 Non-English Films rankings, and Indian cinema continues to enjoy a strong presence on the platform. A total of five Indian films found a place in the weekly chart, led by fresh OTT releases and recent theatrical titles. Among them is Ram Charan's Peddi, which made its streaming debut with a relatively modest start despite arriving with considerable buzz following its theatrical release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to Netflix's weekly viewership rankings, Peddi garnered 1.9 million views in its first tracking week after premiering on the platform on July 9. It was the 5th most-watched non-English title during July 6-12. The sports drama managed to enter the Global Top 10 Non-English Films chart, but its opening viewership is on the lower side compared to several recent high-profile Indian releases on the streamer. Peddi had an average run at the box office, and its digital debut has followed a similar trajectory, opening without a major surge in viewership. The Hindi version of the film is yet to premiere, and it would have helped it score much better viewership data had it been streamed simultaneously, which is not the case. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Apart from Peddi, four other Indian films also secured places in Netflix's weekly global rankings, including Sunny Deol's direct digital release, Ikka (4.4 million) at 2, Daadi Ki Shaadi (2.1 million) at 4, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do (1.8 million) at 6, and Blast (1.1 million) at 8, underlining the consistent performance of Indian titles across languages on the streaming platform. The latest chart features films from different genres and industries, showcasing the diversity of Indian cinema and its growing appeal among international audiences. Having five Indian films in the same weekly chart is another indication of Netflix's increasing investment in Indian content and its worldwide consumption. Streaming viewership often builds over multiple weeks through positive word of mouth, and the coming weeks will determine whether the Ram Charan starrer can improve its performance. For now, Netflix's latest weekly rankings reaffirm the strong global footprint of Indian cinema, with five homegrown films earning a place among the platform's most-watched non-English titles.

Comedy sequels often carry a certain level of expectations at the box office, and Dhamaal 4 seems to be finding its rhythm as the first week progresses. With a legacy built on ensemble slapstick humor, the buzz around this fourth installment has been focused on whether it can recreate the madness of its predecessors. Let us dive into the numbers to see how the film is holding up after its first five days in theaters. Most films typically experience a downward trend on their first Tuesday, but Dhamaal 4 has managed to pull off a surprise. The film earned 9.50 Crore on Day 5, marking a growth of 8.6 percent compared to Monday's collection of 8.75 Crore. This slight uptick during a weekday is a positive indicator of audience interest. This performance was recorded across 11,077 shows on Tuesday, bringing the total India net collection to 83.25 Crore. In terms of gross figures, the domestic total has now reached 99.44 Crore. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The global footprint of the film is also expanding. Based on early estimates, Dhamaal 4 added 1.50 Crore from overseas markets on its fifth day, taking the total international gross to 16.00 Crore. When we combine the domestic and international numbers, the early estimates for the worldwide gross collection currently stand at 115.44 Crore. So far, the film has played across a cumulative total of 54,779 shows since its release. Providing some specific context for the North American market, data from Venky Box Office shows that the film collected 67,000 dollars (approximately 56 Lakhs) on Monday. This brings the total North American gross to 575,000 dollars (approximately 4.83 Crore). The film is now steadily nearing the 1 million dollar mark. If this milestone is achieved, it will mark Ajay Devgn's 17th film to cross 1 million dollars in North America, highlighting his consistent appeal in the international circuit alongside the film's domestic run. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the digital footprint through BookMyShow, the film has crossed a significant milestone of 1.5 million tickets sold on the platform. The daily booking trend reflects the growth seen in the collections, as Tuesday saw 133,650 tickets booked, an increase from Monday's 124,050. However, in the context of the 2025-26 records for first Tuesday ticket sales, Dhamaal 4 narrowly missed a spot in the top ten. With 134K sales, it sits just behind Cocktail 2, while Dhurandhar 2 remains the leader of that list with 680K tickets. The overall occupancy for Day 5 was 20.78 percent. As is common with family entertainers, the night shows were the busiest with 29.31 percent occupancy. Morning shows started at a modest 9.31 percent, while the afternoon and evening slots saw a steady rise to 19.69 percent and 22.46 percent respectively.

Mumbai followed with 21.8 percent occupancy from 839 shows. Other major regions like Ahmedabad and Bengaluru hovered around the 19 percent mark. Pune saw 16.0 percent occupancy, while Surat recorded a lower 14.3 percent. Looking at how the film performed in the major national chains, the figures show a steady level of support.

Welcome To The Jungle, the third installment of the celebrated comedy franchise, has officially secured its status as a clean hit at the box office. With a production budget evaluated at a highly reasonable 125 crore, the film has navigated its theatrical run effectively to ensure profitability for its makers. As of its 18th day, the movie has achieved worldwide gross collections of 187.48 crore, which includes a domestic gross of 154.63 crore and an overseas contribution of 32.85 crore. The total India net collection has now reached 130.10 crore across a cumulative 130,251 shows. On its third Monday, Day 18, the film recorded a net collection of 0.55 crore from 1,917 shows. This figure represents a 71.1 percent drop compared to the Sunday net of 1.90 crore. While the film had a strong run over its first two weeks, it is now facing significant competition from the recent release of Dhamaal 4. Since both movies cater to the same comedy-loving audience, the market has seen a visible shift in preference toward the newer title. Due to this genre-specific clash and the resulting weekday depletion, initial trade projections that targeted a 150 crore domestic net have been adjusted. The film is now expected to wrap its lifetime theatrical lifecycle at approximately 135 crore domestic net.

INOX followed with approximately 640 tickets sold, earning a gross of 1.4 lakhs from 282 shows. Cinepolis contributed around 210 tickets and a gross of roughly 46.8 thousand from 152 shows. These numbers reflect the movie entry into the final phase of its theatrical journey in urban centers.
