Thamma Day 1 Box Office Update: Afternoon Shows Boost Occupancy to 38–42%

Thamma, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, opened in theaters today with a strong buzz across India. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, the film belongs to the popular horror-comedy universe and has been eagerly anticipated by audiences. Early occupancy reports suggest a promising start, with the afternoon shows showing noticeable growth.

Morning Shows: Decent Start at 20% Occupancy

The film began its Day 1 (Tuesday) with morning show occupancy around 20%. While today is a national holiday  typically a boost for box office openings the morning turnout was moderate. Industry analysts note that horror-comedies often pick up momentum as the day progresses, and Thamma’s performance seemed to follow that trend.

Afternoon Shows: Significant Growth to 38–42%

Afternoon screenings have brought a clear improvement, with occupancy rising to 38–42% in Hindi shows. This jump indicates growing word-of-mouth and interest among audiences as more viewers headed to cinemas post-lunch. Overall, the Day 1 occupancy across all shows by 4 PM IST stands at 30%, reflecting a decent early performance.

Evening and Night Shows Crucial for Day 1 Totals

Despite a solid afternoon boost, the evening and night shows will be crucial in determining Thamma’s final Day 1 box office total. Horror-comedy films in this universe often see stronger collections during prime-time slots, and the trend is expected to hold today as well.

Analysts are closely monitoring occupancy trends, with the afternoon surge serving as a positive indicator for the film’s first-day collections.
