## The Box Office Mountain to Climb

The film’s goal is to beat *Spider-Man: Brand New Day*, which also had a Thursday release. According to the report, that film opened at **Rs 58 crore nett (Rs 70.50 crore gross)** and finished at **Rs 483.50 crore nett (Rs 643.75 crore gross, including 3D)**, making it the highest-grossing Hollywood movie ever in India.

Those figures are trade estimates, so treat them as projections rather than certified numbers.

## Why It Won’t Be Easy?

Unlike *Brand New Day*, *Doomsday* won’t enjoy a clean run. It will face competition from Shah Rukh Khan’s *King* and *Dune 3*, starting from its second and third weekends onwards. That makes the opening weekend even more important.

## The Star-Studded Cast

The ensemble includes Pedro Pascal, Paul Rudd, Anthony Mackie, Florence Pugh, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Wyatt Russell, Channing Tatum, Simu Liu, Ian McKellen, Tom Hiddleston, James Marsden, Patrick Stewart, Joseph Quinn, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Letitia Wright, Lewis Pullman, Kelsey Grammer, Kathryn Newton and many more.
