Tom Holland's highly anticipated film, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," is already making waves at the box office in India, registering phenomenal advance bookings even before its official theatrical release. The Marvel-Sony production is on track to become one of the biggest Hollywood openers ever in the country, driven by immense fan enthusiasm for Peter Parker's return.
According to trade estimates, the superhero blockbuster has sold approximately 3.69 lakh (369,000) tickets across India's three major national multiplex chains—PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis—for its opening day. Projections indicate the film will comfortably exceed the 4 lakh ticket mark before its premiere, positioning it within reach of all-time Hollywood advance booking records in India.
The momentum extends beyond the opening day, with advance sales for the second day already surpassing 1.97 lakh tickets at national chains, generating over ₹10 crore gross. This strong performance suggests that the film's opening weekend could rank among the largest ever for a Hollywood title in the Indian market. Across India, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" has grossed over ₹46.5 crore in advance bookings, with more than 3.5 lakh tickets secured for opening-day shows across over 4,000 theatres. While English-language screenings continue to lead sales, versions in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada are also seeing robust demand, particularly in major metropolitan areas like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi, and Chennai.
Chasing Historical Box Office Records
At its current pace, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" is projected to sell over 5 lakh tickets at national chains. Should these projections hold, it would surpass "Avengers: Infinity War," which recorded 4.86 lakh advance tickets, making it the third-highest Hollywood advance seller in India. Only "Avengers: Endgame" (10.25 lakh tickets) and "Spider-Man: No Way Home" (5.5 lakh tickets) would remain ahead in this elite category.
Fan Anticipation Fuels Demand
The unprecedented demand for "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" is largely attributed to the intense fan anticipation surrounding Tom Holland's reprisal of Peter Parker, especially following the dramatic events of "Spider-Man: No Way Home." The film's comprehensive promotional campaign, coupled with its release in premium formats such as IMAX and 4DX, has further fueled ticket sales. Additionally, the excitement generated by the reported inclusion of Mark Ruffalo's Hulk in the storyline has significantly contributed to the surge in advance bookings.
