Our monthly feature The India Box Office Report tracks the performance of the various films released every month at the Indian (domestic) box office. Monthly reports are published on this website in the third week of the following month. This is the July 2026 edition of the report. You can access the previous reports in the Insights section of this website.

Cumulative Box Office: July 2026

Films released in July 2026 grossed ₹1,582 Cr at the domestic box office, including projected future collections of July releases. Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Jana Nayagan, and The Odyssey were the major contributors, followed by the Hindi film Dhamaal 4. Together, the top four films accounted for 81% of the month’s total gross collections, with Spider-Man: Brand New Day contributing 40% of the month’s total collections alone.

International films have grossed over ₹1,424 Cr so far in 2026, and the year is poised to become the best-ever year for International films, a record currently held by 2019 (₹1,595 Cr).

The cumulative box office of 2026 stands at ₹8,147 Cr, which is 13% higher compared to the same period in 2025.

Top 10 Films

The chart below lists the top 10 films released in July 2026, based on their box office performance in India, including future projected collections for films still running in theatres.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is now the second-highest grossing film of the year in India, after Dhurandhar: The Revenge.

Hindi films continue to dominate the list with four titles in the Top 10, while two  International, Telugu and Tamil films each complete the list.

Language Share

For language share calculation, language-wise box office of films releasing in multiple languages is assigned to the corresponding language. However, for International films (Hollywood and other global markets), the data for all languages is reported under the language head ‘International’.

For the first time in 2026, Hindi cinema’s share fell below 40%, largely as a result of International cinema gaining significant momentum in July, reaching a record-high 17% share, the highest of all time. International cinema's share in 2019 stood at 15%, and the box office performance of Avengers: Doomsday will determine if 2026 can break that record by the end of the year.

How to read the numbers in this report?

Different language industries follow different reporting conventions (Gross, Nett or Share). We have used Gross Box Office as the unified measure for this report. For films releasing in multiple languages, collections are added up across languages to arrive at the film’s Gross Box Office at an all-India level.

Some films may be running in theatres at the time of publishing this report every month. For these films, Gross Box Office is estimated based on the latest trends available. Hence, it is normal that some numbers may be updated in the following month’s report, once actual collections have been estimated.

Numbers for a film are assigned to the month of its release, even if the business is spread over two or more months. For example, Kalki 2898 AD released on June 27, 2024, and a sizeable component of the film’s business was registered in July 2024. However, in the analysis, Kalki 2898 AD’s entire box office has been credited to the month of June.
