  "summary": "Hollywood is poised for a record-breaking year in India, driven by the success of multiple releases in the first seven months of 2026. According to a study by Ormax Media, total collections reached ₹1,424 crore, nearly matching the record high of ₹1,595 crore set in 2019. Films like Obsession, Michael, Project Hail Mary, The Odyssey, Evil Dead Burn, The Devil Wears Prada 2, The Mummy, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day have contributed to this impressive performance. Industry experts predict that the share of international films in India's total box-office collections could reach 20-25%, surpassing the historical high of 15% in 2019. The success of Hollywood films in India is attributed to their appeal across various genres, including biopics, epics, and original IPs. Additionally, franchises with loyal fan bases, such as Spider-Man and Evil Dead, are playing a significant role in the resurgence. Analysts believe that the momentum will continue, with upcoming blockbuster releases like Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three expected to further boost the share of Hollywood films in the Indian box office.",
