Lee Cronin's The Mummy Concludes Theatrical Run in India with Rs 35 Crore Box Office Earnings Lee Cronin's horror film The Mummy has concluded its theatrical run in India, achieving a total box office collection of Rs 35 crore. The film, which opened with a relatively modest performance, managed to build momentum over its six-week run, ultimately securing its place as a notable success for Clean Hit, the production company behind the project. The final tally of Rs 35.25 crore, as reported by trade estimates, reflects the film's ability to sustain audience interest despite its initial underwhelming start. The movie's box office trajectory followed a distinct pattern. Its first week grossed Rs 17.25 crore, setting the stage for a gradual but steady rise in earnings. The second week saw an addition of Rs 11.75 crore, while the third week contributed Rs 4 crore. Following this, the film continued to draw audiences, adding nearly Rs 2.25 crore in the subsequent weeks. These figures underscore the film's resilience in a competitive market, where horror films often struggle to maintain consistent viewership. While The Mummy did not match the box office dominance of recent Hollywood releases like Project Hail Mary or Michael, its performance was deemed satisfactory for a mid-sized horror film. The film's ability to generate revenue over an extended period highlights the potential of genre-driven projects in India, particularly when they align with audience preferences and marketing strategies. Having said that, Hollywood films are witnessing a glorious run in India this year, with back-to-back successful ventures. While the second half of 2026 is full of big titles, it will be interesting to see whether more small or mid-sized titles can surprise at the box office.#box_office #india #lee_cronin #the_mummy #clean_hit
