Global blockbuster ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home‘ recently hit the 263 CR (GBO) mark in India and is showing no signs of slowing down. The Tom Holland and Zendaya starrer is 2021’s highest grosser in India and fans are still going back to cinemas to watch the movie multiple times. The entertainer will continue to exclusively play in cinemas for at least the next 2 months, since the film is made for big screens and is best enjoyed as a larger-than- life experience. Multiplex chains too have gone all out to ensure the safety of all the movie-goers and are continuing to adhere to the highest standards of cleaning and sanitization. If the uproarious audience response is anything to go, the film is all set to enjoy an extended theatrical run.
Vivek Krishnani, Managing Director, Sony Pictures Films India says, “The fact that this is the biggest post pandemic global hit indicates that the audiences are ready to return to theatres if the film in question offers them everything they are looking for. ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ did exactly that. Even though the franchise already had an enviable fan base, the film exceeded everybody’s expectations with a staggering star cast, scaled up, breathtaking action and multiple twists that took the fans by complete surprise and took their breath away. The film will hence continue to stay in theatres because it is still attracting diehard fans for repeated viewings.”
