Thamma worldwide box office collection day 2: It may not be a juggernaut, but Maddock Films’ Thamma is rolling on unhindered at the box office. After a strong start on Diwali, the horror comedy from the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU) barely showed a drop on Wednesday, maintaining its momentum, and also crossing ₹50 crore in the process.

Thamma box office collection

Thamma earned ₹24 crore net in India on its opening day. On day 2, Wednesday, the film rallied on after a slow start in the morning to see 200% increase in collections over the evening and night shows. This meant that the film was able to collect ₹18 crore net on its second day, seeing a drop of just 25% after a festive break. This has taken the film’s total domestic haul after two days to ₹42 crore net ( ₹50 crore gross).

Overseas, the film hasn’t been able to set the cash registers ringing as much, but that is largely because most foreign markets do not observe Diwali as a holiday. Internationally, the film is a mid-week release, and may only pick up pace over the actual weekend beginning Friday. Even then, Thamma has earned over $400k internationally. This has taken its worldwide haul close to ₹55 crore after two days. Thamma has now surpassed the lifetime collection of Maddock’s only unsuccessful horror comedy, Roohi ( ₹31 crore), and Dharma’s recent romantic drama Dhadak 2 ( ₹40 crore).

Given its momentum on Wednesday, the film now looks well set to cross ₹100 crore worldwide during its first weekend.
