Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day has not only crossed the ₹500 crore gross mark in India but has become the highest-grossing Hollywood movie in India, surpassing the lifetime collection of Avatar: The Way of Water.
The Marvel superhero film has had a fantastic run in theaters since it was released and the audience is really loving it in every major Indian market. The film crossed ₹400 crore gross in the first week and is going to be in the top 5 in the second weekend of the month.
One of Brand New Day’s greatest accomplishments is to surpass James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water which was previously the highest-grossing Hollywood movie in India. Avengers: Endgame was another major benchmark in the Indian market, but Spider-Man has since overtaken both films in box office terms.
The movie’s performance is especially remarkable given Hollywood releases in India are often competing with big local-language productions. But Spider-Man's huge popularity, Tom Holland’s fan base, Marvel’s brand power and premium 3D screenings have helped the movie attract audiences across the country.
The movie’s popularity abroad has also been reflected. Spider-Man: Brand New Day reached $1 billion worldwide within six days and its success is also not limited to the Indian market.
In India, the film’s strong weekday collections followed a fantastic opening. It became one of the fastest Hollywood movies to enter the ₹300 crore net club and its performance kept going strong in its second weekend. The film’s growth in numbers has led to speculation of how high it could go before it ends its theatrical run.
The achievement is one more major accomplishment for the Spider-Man franchise which has been one of the most popular Hollywood properties in the Indian movie industry. Brand New Day is finally on top of the Hollywood box office chart in India and will it ever go beyond ₹500 crore?
For Marvel fans, the record is another reason to celebrate. Spider-Man: Brand New Day has not only had a massive box office performance but also has proved the massive commercial potential of global superhero franchises in the Indian market.
