- Spider-Man: Brand New Day has collected nearly Rs 350 crore in India within six days of release.
- The film has become the second-fastest to hit $1 billion globally.
- It recorded the biggest opening weekend in box office history with $360 million.
- The movie has surpassed Toy Story 5 as the year's highest-grossing film.
Box Office Momentum Continues
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is showing no signs of slowing down at the Indian box office. The Tom Holland starrer has maintained strong collections on its second Tuesday, bringing its six-day total to nearly Rs 350 crore. Trade analysts say the film's weekday performance has been exceptional, with footfalls remaining steady across major multiplexes and single screens.
The movie opened to staggering numbers over the weekend, and the trend has continued into the week. Despite the usual post-weekend dip, the drop has been minimal, indicating strong word-of-mouth and repeat viewings.
Global Milestones Tumble
The film's global run has been equally spectacular. Spider-Man: Brand New Day has become the second-fastest film to cross the $1 billion mark worldwide, according to industry trackers. It achieved the feat in record time, trailing only a handful of tentpole releases in box office history.
Variety reports that the movie's opening weekend alone raked in $360 million, making it the biggest debut in box office history. This surpasses the previous record held by Avengers: Endgame, a significant achievement for any superhero film.
Year's Highest-Grossing Film
Forbes notes that Brand New Day has already passed Toy Story 5 to become the highest-grossing film of the year. With its current trajectory, the movie is expected to remain at the top for the foreseeable future, with several weeks of theatrical run still ahead.
Critics have also been kind to the film. A review from Ar highlights that Spider-Man: Brand New Day reminds us that superhero movies can be good, praising its storytelling and character development. This critical acclaim has likely contributed to its sustained box office performance.
What Lies Ahead
With the second weekend approaching, the film is eyeing the Rs 400 crore mark in India and potentially $1.5 billion globally. The coming days will reveal whether it can maintain this pace or if the inevitable slowdown begins. For now, Spider-Man continues to swing high at the box office.
