Can the Horror Continue? — Dies Irae Box Office Preview for on Its Second Sunday

The Malayalam horror thriller, ‘Dies Irae’, is now in its second week in Indian cinemas. Today, Sunday, November 9, 2025, is a very important day for the film. It is the movie’s second Sunday, a day when collections usually peak. Fans and trade experts are watching closely to see if the film can keep up its strong performance.

The film, which stars Pranav Mohanlal and is directed by Rahul Sadasivan, opened to great reviews on Friday, October 31, 2025. It quickly became a big hit. The movie has already passed the ₹30 crore mark in India, which is a huge success for a Malayalam film. Now, the big question is: can the horror film maintain its box office strength on the second weekend’s biggest day?

Dies Irae Story So Far: A Strong First Week

‘Dies Irae’ had a fantastic first week. This was mainly because of the positive word-of-mouth from the audience.

• First Weekend Boost: The film started strong, collecting around ₹4.7 crore on its first Friday (Day 1). It then saw a big jump over the weekend, peaking at ₹6.35 crore on its first Sunday. This showed that people were eager to see the movie.
• Holding Steady on Weekdays: Even during the normal dip on weekdays, the movie showed good strength. It collected over ₹2 crore on most weekdays. This helped it reach a total of over ₹26.45 crore by the end of its first week (Day 7).

The Second Weekend Jump

The second weekend started very well. This is a very good sign for the film’s long run.

• Day 8 (Second Friday): The film collected an estimated ₹2 crore. This is a good number for the start of the second weekend.
• Day 9 (Second Saturday): The movie showed a big jump again on Saturday. Early estimates suggest it earned around ₹3.50 crore. This increase proves that the good reviews are still bringing people to the theatres. It helped the film cross the ₹30 crore mark.

Will Dies Irae Second Sunday Roar?

Today, Sunday, is expected to bring the highest collections of the second week.

Trade analysts predict that ‘Dies Irae’ will see another solid jump in collections. Given the strong performance on Saturday, a collection close to, or even higher than, ₹4 crore is expected for today (Day 10). If the film manages this, it will show incredible strength.

This sustained success is because of a few main factors:

1. Strong Reviews: Critics and audience members have praised the film’s direction, technical quality, and the intense atmosphere created by director Rahul Sadasivan.
2. No Major New Competition: There have not been many major new movie releases this week. This means ‘Dies Irae’ gets more screen space and fewer competitors for the audience.
3. Positive Feedback: The horror genre is very popular. The movie is being called one of the best Malayalam horror films ever made. This positive talk keeps pulling in new viewers.

For now, all eyes are on the Sunday footfalls. The fate of ‘Dies Irae’ on its second Sunday will decide how long and how far its journey at the Indian box office will go.
