Few superheroes have grown with Indian audiences quite like [Spider-Man](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man_in_film). Three actors, two decades, and one wildly upward trajectory later, “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” is gearing up to set a new franchise record in India — a projected Rs 400 crore haul.

## Spider-Man: Numbers Tell the Story

| Year | Movie | India Box Office |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2002 | Spider-Man | Rs 26.50 crore |
| 2004 | Spider-Man 2 | Rs 30.00 crore |
| 2007 | Spider-Man 3 | Rs 66.50 crore |
| 2012 | The Amazing Spider-Man | Rs 80.00 crore |
| 2014 | The Amazing Spider-Man 2 | Rs 81.50 crore |
| 2017 | Spider-Man: Homecoming | Rs 74.00 crore |
| 2019 | Spider-Man: Far From Home | Rs 104.50 crore |
| 2021 | Spider-Man: No Way Home | Rs 265.00 crore |

## The Tobey Maguire Era: Where It All Began

Spider-Man first swung into Indian theatres in 2002, with Tobey Maguire earning Rs 26.50 crore. The sequel held steady at Rs 30 crore, but it was “Spider-Man 3” in 2007 that showed real growth, more than doubling collections to Rs 66.50 crore — proof that Indian audiences were increasingly hooked.

## Andrew Garfield Keeps the Momentum Going

When Andrew Garfield took over the mask in 2012, the franchise kept climbing. “The Amazing Spider-Man” crossed Rs 80 crore, and its 2014 sequel edged slightly higher to Rs 81.50 crore. It marked the franchise’s most consistent growth phase yet — right up until the reboot that followed.

## A Brief Dip Before the Boom

“Spider-Man: Homecoming” introduced Tom Holland in 2017, but the film actually saw a dip, collecting Rs 74 crore — lower than Garfield’s outings. It turned out to be a temporary stumble rather than a trend.

## Tom Holland Redefines the Franchise’s Ceiling

“Far From Home” flipped the script in 2019, becoming the first Spider-Man film to break the Rs 100 crore mark in India. Then came “No Way Home” in 2021, which didn’t just beat that record — it obliterated it, grossing over Rs 265 crore and becoming the franchise’s first entry into the Rs 200 crore club.

## Brand New Day: Chasing a New High

That growth story sets up “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” for a historic run. The film is already posting massive advance bookings, and if it performs to expectations, it’s projected to cross Rs 400 crore in India — continuing a nearly 900% growth trend from the original 2002 film to “No Way Home.”
