It's been an ecstatic two days for Spider-Man fans in India as Tom Holland's new superhero film Spider-Man: Brand New Day is continuing to shatter records. Throughout the country, the action-adventure film has amassed over Rs 100 crore within two days of its release, marking an extraordinary feat for not just a Spidey film but also any major Hollywood film in India.
Thanks to the massive anticipation and surprises around the fourth Tom Holland-led Spider-Man film, it opened with a staggering Rs 73.96 crore gross in India with almost a 100 per cent occupancy in the Hindi language besides English.
According to Sacnilk, Brand New Day maintained strong momentum by collecting a net of approximately Rs 50 crore and a gross of around Rs 60 crore across 16,902 shows on the second day. This pushed the total India net collection to Rs 109.95 crore and the total India gross collection to Rs 131.47 crore. Ticket booking apps are reporting a massive surge in fans and audiences booking tickets, with the momentum expected to continue throughout this week. Going by the trends, the film will soon breach the Rs 200 crore mark by the fourth day with favourable reviews from fans and audiences continuing to boost the revenue.
The English version continues to lead the film's box office performance, generating a net collection of Rs 60.25 crore and accounting for the largest share of the overall revenue. The Hindi version has also delivered an impressive Rs 39 crore net. Among the regional releases, both the Tamil and Telugu versions have contributed Rs 5.25 crore each. Meanwhile, the English 3D edition recorded an average occupancy of 49.31 per cent on Friday, with audience turnout climbing to 66.78 per cent during the night shows.
As reported earlier, Spider-Man: Brand New Day begins on the heels of the previous film, Spider-Man: No Way Home, which ended with Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) casting a spell over the world, to make everyone forget Peter Parker (Tom Holland), in order to protect his identity as Spider-Man. This includes his close friends MJ and Ned (Zendaya and Jacob Batalon). Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the film is his second MCU project after Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The cast also features Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Florence Pugh, Tramell Tillman, Marisa Tomei, and Mark Ruffalo. Read our review here.
