Tom Holland’s Spidey is about to swing past three MCU giants at once. With advance bookings already outpacing Doctor Strange 2, No Way Home, and Avatar: The Way of Water, India’s biggest Hollywood opening in years might just be days away.
Spider-Man: Brand New- Presale Snapshot
| Detail | Figure |
|---|---|
| Total Advance (4-Day Weekend) | Rs. 40 crore (USD 4.5 million) / Rs. 33 crore nett |
| Day One Advance Alone | Rs. 16–17 crore |
| Tickets Sold (Day 1, National Chains) | 2,25,000 |
| Tickets Sold (Full Weekend, National Chains) | 5,50,000+ |
| Projected Final Advance | Rs. 75–85 crore |
| Projected Opening Day (Nett) | Rs. 50 crore+ |
Already Ahead of Three MCU Blockbusters
The current pace already matches the final advance totals of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Avatar: The Way of Water, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. By the end of the day, Brand New Day is expected to overtake all three, landing in second place behind only Avengers: Endgame’s all-time opening-day record.
Spread Across the Country, Not Just the South
What’s notable this time isn’t just the size of the numbers — it’s how evenly they’re spread. Mumbai and the Delhi-UP circuit are leading, followed closely by the southern markets, Mysore, APTS, and Kerala. Even West Bengal, usually a slow starter on advances, is showing unusually strong numbers. And this is all happening before a major market like Tamil Nadu has even opened bookings, meaning there’s still real upside left before Thursday’s release.
Why This Opening Matters
Hollywood tentpoles have had a rough couple of years at the Indian box office, with several recent MCU releases underwhelming on advances. Brand New Day breaking that pattern — and doing it with genuinely national reach rather than relying on southern markets alone — suggests audiences may be resetting their appetite for big-budget Hollywood spectacle again.
Box office figures are trade estimates based on advance booking trends and are subject to change once final numbers are certified.
