Box Office Report — 26 June 2026
Today's top theatrical earners with India net and worldwide gross figures, as of 26 June 2026.
Let’s break down the numbers shaping Indian and global cinema as of 26 June 2026. The top spot is a clear debut winner, while a pack of eight-day-old holdovers proves that theatrical legs are very much alive.
A debut that roars
The latest chapter in a beloved franchise storms the charts. Welcome To The Jungle (Welcome 3) opens with a commanding ₹3.75 Cr India net and ₹4.50 Cr worldwide gross in just a single day. That’s a strong start for Bollywood’s biggest new release, especially given the competition it faces from established mid-runners. The question now is whether it sustains momentum into the weekend — early indicators suggest word-of-mouth could drive steady growth.
The eight-day club: who’s still standing
Eight films have now been in theatres for over a week, and the table reveals a fascinating split between blockbusters and specialised hits.
Cocktail 2 remains the overall powerhouse with ₹70.50 Cr India net — a figure that already signals a major success. Its worldwide haul of ₹109.07 Cr shows strong overseas appetite. Meanwhile, Maa Inti Bangaaram is holding its own for Tollywood, collecting ₹35.85 Cr domestically and crossing ₹59.53 Cr globally. Both films are proving that word-of-mouth can extend a theatrical run well beyond opening weekend.
Balan: The Boy (Mollywood) and Toy Story 5 (3D) represent the quiet achievers. The former has pulled in ₹11.29 Cr India net and ₹21.93 Cr worldwide — an impressive feat for a regional title. The latter, despite being a 3D re-release of an established franchise, has managed ₹6.86 Cr India net, suggesting family audiences are still hungry for theatrical experiences.
Surprises and speed bumps
Nooru Saami (Kollywood) and Ghabadkund round out the bottom of the top ten, but with ₹5.77 Cr and ₹4.04 Cr India net respectively, both are performing modestly for their budgets. The real outlier? The two FIFA World Cup 2026 entries — Portugal Vs Uzbekistan and Argentina Vs Austria — each earning just ₹0.01 Cr. These are niche live event screenings, not traditional films, so their numbers aren’t a concern, but they do highlight how sports events are still a marginal box office draw in India compared to narrative cinema.
