Michael Continues Strong Run At Indian Box Office With Rs. 60.75 Crore Total

The Hollywood film Michael continued its stable performance at the Indian box office during its third weekend. The film collected Rs. 3.75 crore on its third Sunday, showing a slight jump compared to Saturday. With this, the movie ended its third weekend with a total collection of Rs. 9 crore. The film is now expected to finish its third week with collections in the range of Rs. 13 crore to Rs. 15 crore. At present, the total gross collection of Michael in India stands at Rs. 60.75 crore. Trade expectations suggest that the film will comfortably cross the Rs. 65 crore mark by the end of the third week. Based on its current trend, the biographical drama on Michael Jackson is expected to complete its full theatrical run with an estimated gross collection of around Rs. 75 crore in India. Michael has now emerged as a “Clean HIT” at the Indian box office. This also marks the third successful Hollywood release of the year after Project Hail Mary and Lee Cronin’s The Mummy. Interestingly, all three films have achieved success within a short period of around one month. Another Hollywood release, The Devil Wears Prada 2, is also showing decent performance in India. While the film may not reach HIT status, it is still expected to end its run as a successful venture. What makes these performances notable is that none of these films belonged to the kind of major franchise or established intellectual property that usually performs strongly in India. The Indian market has traditionally been driven by big Hollywood franchises and familiar brands. However, these recent results indicate that audiences are also supporting content driven films when the reception is positive. Several major Hollywood franchise films are scheduled for release later this year. If more films continue to surprise with strong performance, 2026 could become one of the strongest years for Hollywood cinema in India. The box office collections for Michael in India are as follows: Week One: Rs. 31.25 cr. Week Two: Rs. 20.50 cr. 3rd Friday: Rs. 1.75 cr. 3rd Saturday: Rs. 3.50 cr. 3rd Sunday: Rs. 3.75 cr. Total: Rs. 60.75 cr.
