Drishyam 3 Box Office: Mohanlal Starrer Struggling To Reach 250 Crore Worldwide

BY SACNILK

Kochi, June 4 - Superstar Mohanlal's much-awaited crime thriller Drishyam 3 continues to perform well at the box office, but its pace has slowed considerably during the second week of its theatrical run. Despite emerging as one of the biggest Malayalam hits of 2026, the film is now facing a challenge in reaching the significant 250 crore worldwide gross milestone. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the third instalment of the iconic Drishyam franchise opened to a sensational response worldwide. The film crossed the 100 crore mark globally within just three days and entered the prestigious 200 crore club in 9 days, reaffirming the massive popularity of Georgekutty's story among audiences. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) However, the momentum has slowed noticeably in recent days. At the end of the 14th day, Drishyam 3 has grossed approximately 229 crore worldwide, with daily collections witnessing a steady decline during its second week. The film's India gross collections are around 118 crores, while overseas markets have contributed approx 111 crores so far. The slowdown comes after an exceptional opening phase that saw the film become one of the fastest Malayalam releases to cross major box office milestones. While the franchise's loyal fanbase ensured a blockbuster start, sustaining the same momentum has proven difficult as weekday collections continue to soften due to mixed word of mouth. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Drishyam 3 India Gross Collection 1st week - 95.10 crore (8 days) 2nd Friday - 5.00 crore 2nd Saturday - 5.90 crore 2nd Sunday - 6.20 crore 2nd Monday - 2.55 crore 2nd Tuesday - 1.80 crore 2nd Wednesday - 1.45 crore 2nd Thursday - 1.25 crore (expected) Total (15 days) - 119.25 crore (expected) With around 20 crore more needed to hit the 250 crore worldwide benchmark, the coming days will be crucial. The film still has realistic chances of reaching the milestone, but it looks unlikely to beat Mohanlal's Empuraan (266+ crore) as the second biggest Malayalam grosser. At one point, it was expected to enter the prestigious 300 crore club, but now, that mark is looking like a far cry. Nevertheless, Drishyam 3 remains a major commercial success for Malayalam cinema and another significant achievement for Mohanlal. While it may or may not cross Empuraan, the crime suspense thriller will be beating Vaazha 2 (235.25 crores) to become the highest-grossing Malayalam film of the year (so far).

Peddi Box Office: Ram Charan's Sports Action Drama Off To Excellent Start In Previews with 20+ Crore Gross In India

BY SACNILK

Hyderabad, June 4 - Superstar Ram Charan's much-awaited sports action drama Peddi has opened to an excellent response at the box office, delivering one of the strongest premiere performances for an Indian film. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the film has generated impressive numbers across domestic and overseas markets even before the completion of its first full day. According to early trade estimates, Peddi grossed in the range of 40 crore worldwide from premiere shows alone, including around 22 crore gross at the Indian box office. The film witnessed outstanding occupancy across Telugu-speaking regions, while overseas markets, particularly North America, contributed significantly to the opening tally. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Telugu states emerged as the biggest contributors to the premiere business, with the film collecting an estimated 18.50+ crore gross. Strong fan enthusiasm and extensive bookings helped the film post impressive numbers across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Karnataka also delivered a solid start, contributing approximately 3.10 crore in gross from premiere screenings, while the rest of India added around 30 lakh in gross from premiere screenings. Top premiere days in India (approx.) 1. Dhurandhar 2 - 51.60 cr 2. They Call Him OG - 25 cr 3. Peddi - 22 cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Overseas, Peddi enjoyed a sensational start, led by North America. The film crossed the $1.5 million mark from premiere screenings in the region, making it one of Ram Charan's biggest overseas openings. Strong advance sales and positive audience reactions helped the film comfortably reach the milestone before the end of its opening day. The strong premiere numbers indicate substantial pre-release buzz and audience anticipation surrounding the film. The initial word of mouth in India also seems to be on the positive side, which is a good sign for the film's box office prospects. Featuring Ram Charan in a rugged and intense role, Peddi has been promoted as a high-energy sports action entertainer with emotional drama at its core. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With worldwide pre-sales finishing around 75 crores, including premieres, Peddi is on course to score 100+ crores opening day+premiere, with around 40 crore worldwide already in the bag from early shows. It is an important film for Ram Charan, who has been under pressure due to recent box office failures.

Peddi Box Office: Ram Charan Starrer Sets 500 Crore Worldwide Target

BY SACNILK

Hyderabad, June 3 - Superstar Ram Charan is all set to return to the big screen with Peddi, one of the most anticipated Telugu films of the year. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the sports action drama carries enormous expectations, not just because of its scale and star power, but also because of the box-office target it reportedly needs to meet. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to trade estimates, Peddi has a break-even target of around 500 crore worldwide gross, making it one of the riskiest and most ambitious projects in Ram Charan's career. As a result, the film cannot afford to finish below that figure if it hopes to emerge as a successful theatrical venture. Crossing the 500 crore mark would be a significant achievement for the actor. It would become Ram Charan's second film after RRR to enter the prestigious club. More importantly, it would be the first solo-led film of his career to reach the milestone, as RRR was a multi-starrer featuring Jr. NTR alongside him. The Path To 500 Crore Worldwide Is Anything But Easy (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While the makers are confident about the film's prospects and the promotional material has generated considerable excitement among audiences, the outcome will depend on audience reception after release. Strong word-of-mouth, repeat viewership, and sustained collections beyond the opening weekend will be crucial if Peddi is to achieve its ambitious target. The pressure on Ram Charan is also considerably higher than usual due to the performance of his recent films. His last release, Game Changer, was expected to be a major blockbuster and capitalise on the goodwill generated by RRR. Instead, the film failed to meet expectations and ultimately became a box-office disaster. Before that, Acharya, which featured megastar Chiranjeevi in the lead role with Ram Charan playing an extended role, also underperformed at the box office despite carrying significant hype before release. The back-to-back setbacks have increased expectations surrounding Peddi, with trade observers viewing it as a crucial film for the actor's box office standing. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Fortunately for the makers, the film has several factors working in its favour. Ram Charan continues to enjoy massive popularity across domestic and overseas markets following the global success of RRR. The film's rural sports backdrop, large-scale production values, and music by A. R. Rahman have also helped generate strong pre-release buzz. Nevertheless, buzz alone will not guarantee success. The film must convert anticipation into sustained ticket sales if it wants to justify its massive theatrical valuation. With a reported ₹500 crore worldwide target against the budget of 350 crores, Peddi faces one of the toughest box office challenges of any Indian film this year. For Ram Charan, the stakes could not be higher. A successful run would not only give him his first solo 500 crore grosser but also provide the blockbuster comeback he has been seeking since Game Changer. Failure, on the other hand, would raise fresh questions about the commercial viability of big-budget star vehicles in the post-RRR era. The film is scheduled to release on June 4.

Peddi Box Office: Ram Charan Starrer's Worldwide Pre-Release Theatrical Business Details and Break-Even Target

BY SACNILK

Hyderabad, June 1 - Superstar Ram Charan's upcoming pan-India entertainer Peddi has turned into one of the biggest pre-release business ventures in Telugu cinema. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana and backed by massive buzz across domestic and overseas markets, the film has secured a huge theatrical valuation even before hitting the big screens. Peddi Gets 220 Crore Pre-Release Theatrical Business According to T2BLive, Peddi has closed its worldwide theatrical business in the 220 crore range, placing it among the highest pre-release deals ever for a Telugu film outside the RRR and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion league. The film has been carrying solid buzz; the business details indicate the same. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In Telugu states (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana), the rural sports action drama has reportedly secured 135 crores in business, including 48 crores for the Nizam area.

Distributors are banking on strong openings, premium pricing, and sustained audience reception to recover the investment comfortably. Also starring Janhvi Kapoor, Shiva Rajkumar, and Jagapathi Babu, with music composed by A. R. Rahman, Peddi is scheduled for a grand worldwide release on June 4, 2026. Trade analysts expect the film to register one of the biggest openings of the year and potentially challenge several existing Telugu box office records.

Obsession Box Office: $750K Budgeted Horror Thriller Tops $100 Million Worldwide

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 29 - Hollywood has found its latest surprise blockbuster, and it comes from the horror genre once again. Obsession, the low-budget supernatural thriller directed by one-film-old Curry Barker, has crossed the remarkable $100 million (950 crore) mark at the worldwide box office against the reported budget of just $750,000 (7+ crores). The film's extraordinary theatrical run has turned it into one of the most profitable movies of 2026 and one of the biggest breakout horror hits in recent years. Released by Focus Features in the US and Universal Pictures internationally, Obsession started as a relatively small horror release with limited expectations. However, the film quickly exploded through strong audience reactions and overwhelmingly positive word-of-mouth. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The supernatural horror thriller has especially connected with younger audiences, with many viewers praising its unsettling atmosphere and disturbing storytelling. The film stars Michael Johnston as Bear, a lonely music store employee obsessed with reconnecting with his childhood crush Nikki, played by Inde Navarrette. After using a mysterious supernatural toy to manipulate fate and make Nikki fall in love with him, Bear's life slowly descends into terrifying chaos. The film blends psychological horror with supernatural elements, creating an eerie experience that audiences have embraced worldwide. One of the most shocking aspects of Obsession's box office run has been its rare second-weekend growth. While horror films usually witness drops after opening weekend, Obsession jumped by more than 30% in its second weekend. The film continued to dominate multiplexes through consistent weekday collections and repeat audiences. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) So far, Obsession has minted over $100 million, including $73+ million at the domestic (North America) box office. The movie has been released in India today (May 29), with paid previews on May 28. Due to positive worldwide reception, it minted approximately 50 lakh gross in previews, and is set for a good weekend at the Indian box office. Trade analysts are now comparing Obsession to legendary low-budget horror success stories like Paranormal Activity, The Blair Witch Project, and Smile. The film's massive profits once again prove that horror remains one of the safest and most rewarding genres in the theatrical business when backed by strong storytelling and audience engagement.
