Spider-Man: Brand New Day Smashes Indian Box Office with Record-Breaking Rs 72.44 Crore Opening
MCU’s latest film, Spider-Man Brand New Day, released in India a day before its massive release in the US and it seems like their bets have paid off. On its first day on the Indian screens, the film made a massive Rs 72.44 crore gross in India, and that too, without any block booking or preview shows.
In India, block bookings are often done by producers of stakeholders of the film who buy a portion of the tickets in advance, and this leads to the film getting higher opening day numbers, even if the audience buys fewer tickets. Unlike many Indian films, Spider-Man Brand New Day did not have any preview shows before the release. These shows usually sell tickets at an inflated price.
Spider-Man Brand New Day did no such thing, and has still made history at the Indian box office as it has now become the biggest Hollywood opener of all time in India. The film earned Rs 60.60 cr net in India, and surpassed previous record holders like Avatar: The Way of Water, which made Rs 40 cr, and Avengers Endgame, which made Rs 53 cr.
It has also made more money that many recent big-budget Indian films. It has crossed the opening day numbers of Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Pathaan, which earned Rs 67 cr gross, and Kantara Chapter 1, which earned Rs 73 cr gross upon its release.
With no competition in sight, it appears that the four-day weekend might result in Rs 150-200 cr weekend for the MCU film, which is unheard of for many popular Indian films as well.
The business was well spread across India, be it South or North, unlike other films nowadays which are South-heavy. Most of the circuits did record or near-record business. Mysore and Kerala saw new records by big margins, while several of the Hindi circuits hit the record, including East Punjab, Bihar, Odisha and Assam. Delhi-UP is looking close and could be a record. Tamil Nadu missed the record due to a release issue with the holdover, Jana Nayagan, holding on to many of the high-collecting screens. The two biggest circuits, Mumbai and AP/Nizam, fell short of record figures, with Mumbai finishing behind Avengers: Endgame and AP/Nizam trailing Avatar: The Way of Water by a significant margin.

Spider-Man Breaks Seven-Year Opening Record
The film surpassed Avengers: Endgame, which had held the opening day record for the last seven years. This marks the sixth time since the original Spider-Man (2002) that a Spider-Man film has delivered the biggest Hollywood opening day in India. The web-slinger also featured in the two Avengers films that held the record, taking Spider-Man's tally to an incredible eight opening-day records. Before the rise of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man was the biggest Hollywood IP in India, with the Avengers taking over that mantle. Later this year, Avengers: Doomsday is slated to release, which should aim to take the business to another level.The business was well spread across India, be it South or North, unlike other films nowadays which are South-heavy.
