Key Highlight
  • 2018 has grossed Rs 100 crores worldwide in 11 days.
  • 2018 is the third Mollywood film to gross over Rs 100 crores worldwide.
  • 2018 will soon emerge as the highest grossing Mollywood film worldwide.

On Monday, 15th of May, 2023, 2018, led by Tovino Thomas and directed by Jude Anthany Joseph became the third Mollywood film to enter the Rs 100 crore gross worldwide club. It also became the quickest film to enter the Rs 100 crore gross club, that is just in 11 days. The Rs 100 crore gross worldwide club was dominated by 2 Mohanlal films Pulimurugan and Lucifer with Pulimurugan also being the all time highest grossing Mollywood film. After 7 years, 2018, owing to its phenomenal box office trend worldwide, is on course to become the highest grossing Mollywood film.

 

2018 Is Soon Going To Top Pulimurugan To Become The Highest Grossing Mollywood Film

Mohanlal's Pulimurugan had grossed around Rs 135 crores and Lucifer had collected around Rs 125 crores at the worldwide box office. 2018 after 11 days stands at Rs 100 crores and going by the trend, it should become the highest Mollywood grosser worldwide in the third week or latest by fourth weekend. Currently, it is difficult to predict where the film will close since it is still recording more collections than it did on its first day, and that too by a 2 times margin.

 

Mollywood Finally Is Getting An All Time Grosser After 7 Years

Almost every industry has had an all time grosser post pandemic and finally Mollywood is also about to have one with 2018. Since Mollywood films are getting bigger, it is hoped that there are more films that enter the elite Rs 100 crore club.
