Spider-Man: Brand New Day To Challenge Avengers: Endgame For The Biggest Hollywood Opening In India?
Mumbai, July 21 - Marvel Studios and Sony's Spider-Man: Brand New Day is shaping up to be one of the biggest Hollywood releases ever in India. The Tom Holland starrer has generated unprecedented pre-release buzz, with exhibitors and trade circles witnessing demand levels that are rarely seen for an international title. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) More than a week before its July 30 release, the film is already dominating ticket sales across the country, raising expectations of a historic start at the Indian box office. According to trade projections, Brand New Day is expected to collect a massive 50-60 crore gross on its opening day in India, easily among the biggest for a foreign title. If the film opens on the projected lines, it will put it within touching distance of Avengers: Endgame, which still holds the record for the biggest opening day by a non-Indian film with around 65 crore gross. If the current momentum continues through release week, Brand New Day could become the first Hollywood film in years to seriously challenge that historic benchmark. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film's booking trends have been nothing short of extraordinary. Despite being over a week away from release, Brand New Day has been selling around 2,000 tickets every hour on BookMyShow since last week. Such sustained demand is almost unheard of this far ahead of release, with booking momentum remaining remarkably consistent day after day instead of relying on short-lived spikes. What makes the trend even more impressive is that even major Indian blockbusters rarely witness such consistent ticket sales more than two weeks before release. The response highlights the immense popularity of Spider-Man among Indian audiences and suggests that the film is on course for an event-level opening. Should bookings continue at the current pace before accelerating closer to release, Spider-Man: Brand New Day will have a realistic opportunity to challenge Avengers: Endgame for the biggest opening ever by a Hollywood film at the Indian box office.
