After a highly promising opening weekend, the Telugu horror thriller 418, starring Chaithra J Achar, is currently facing the typical weekday blues at the box office. Released in theaters on October 23, 2026, the film explores a terrifying mystery surrounding a locked medical college hostel room where science violently clashes with superstition.
Despite seeing a massive jump in show counts across Karnataka over its opening weekend, the Kirtan Nadagouda directorial experienced a noticeable drop in daily earnings as it entered its first set of weekdays.
Here is the complete box office breakdown for Day 6 of 418, including its total collections and language-wise occupancy rates!
Day 6 Box Office: The Weekday Slowdown
The horror thriller opened to a solid ₹2.65 crore on its first Friday, maintaining a very steady pace over the weekend by collecting ₹2.50 crore on both Saturday and Sunday. However, the film faced a harsh reality check on Monday, dipping below the ₹1 crore mark.
According to live estimates from industry tracker Sacnilk, the downward trend continued on its first Wednesday. 418 collected an estimated net of ₹0.49 crore (₹49 Lakh) on Day 6 (October 28, 2026). The film is currently running across 999 shows nationwide.
With this addition, the Total India Net Collection for 418 stands at ₹9.66 crore. The film is expected to easily cross the ₹10 crore net milestone by the end of its first week. Meanwhile, its Total India Gross Collection has reached ₹11.18 crore.
Language-wise Performance and Occupancy
While 418 was released in multiple languages (Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, and Hindi), the original Telugu version is single-handedly driving the box office numbers.
Language-wise Net Breakdown (up to Day 6):
- Telugu: ₹8.59 Crore (Leading by a massive margin)
- Kannada: ₹0.39 Crore
- Hindi: ₹0.38 Crore
- Tamil: ₹0.30 Crore
On Day 6, the Telugu (2D) version recorded an overall occupancy of 7.50%. Regionally, Bengaluru recorded the highest occupancy for the Telugu version at 15.7%, followed by Mahbubnagar at 15.3% and Vijayawada at 13.0%. The Hindi circuits, including Mumbai and Delhi NCR, recorded negligible footfalls.
Interestingly, while the overall net collections for the Kannada dubbed version are lower (₹0.39 Cr), it recorded a massive 56.3% occupancy on Day 6 across 144 shows, indicating a very strong word-of-mouth in the Karnataka region for leading lady Chaithra J Achar.
The Road Ahead
As the film concludes its first week, it relies entirely on a potential second-weekend jump to maximize its theatrical revenue. Advance bookings for Day 7 currently look steady, with over 47,457 tickets sold (translating to roughly ₹70.46 lakh gross).
Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, 418 will need to maintain its hold in the core Telugu and Kannada markets to emerge as a commercial success before it eventually transitions to Netflix for its OTT premiere.
