• Box office performance: Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge grossed ₹35–40 crore from paid previews and ₹65–70 crore on its first full day, generating nearly 10 lakh admissions in PVR INOX's circuit on Friday toward an industry target of ₹1,000 crore.
• Multiplex occupancy recovery: PVR INOX expects to close the financial year at 27–28% occupancy—close to the pre-COVID level of 30%—narrowly missing a 150 million admissions target due to film release postponements.
• Screen network expansion: After adding about 96 screens in the current financial year, the chain plans to add over 100 screens in the upcoming year, focusing on South India and undersupplied tier-2 and tier-3 cities such as Agra, Muzaffarpur, Leh, and Shillong.
• Theatrical release pipeline: Industry recovery is expected to accelerate in 2026 backed by a strong lineup of major Hindi, regional, and Hollywood event titles, including Ramayan, King, Alpha, Toxic, and Spider-Man.
