Mumbai, December 17 - Tom Holland's "Spider-Man: No Way Home" has had the second-biggest opening in India during the covid-19 pandemic era, netted a massive Rs. 32.67 crores ($4.30M) on Thursday (December 16). Despite being a working day, the superhero movie was all over from East to West, North to South, registering the biggest ever day 1 for Sony Pictures in India.

The Jon Watts-directed released against no significant challenge at the box office. With the release of Allu Arjun's keenly awaited "Pushpa - The Rise" on Friday, "No Way Home" faced tough competition, especially in the South. However, despite the "Pushpa - The Rise" juggernaut, the Marvel/Sony/Columbia movie remained rock solid on the first Friday, grossing an estimated Rs. 20.50 crores ($2.70M), for a 2-day estimated total of Rs. 53.17 crore ($8.88M).



The 3rd and last film in MCU's Home Coming trilogy, "No Way Home" is heading towards a legendary 4-day opening weekend total of Rs. 110 crores ($14.46M) gross. That will put "Spider-Man: No Way Home" to the first positive in India during the pandemic, and is likely to remain on that positive by the end of 2021.

Meanwhile, at the global box office, "No Way Home" is equally strong. It had the strongest start in Korea since "Avengers: Endgame's" $8.2M, grossing $5.3M on Wednesday (Dec. 15). Among the other territories, it opened to the best Wednesday launch ever in the UK with $10.1M. In Mexico, where it also debuted on Wednesday, "No Way Home" grossed a mighty $9M, topping "Avengers: Endgame", for the biggest-ever opening day in the market.

"No Way Home" stars an ensemble cast including Tom Holland as Peter Parker / Spider-Man alongside Zendaya, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jacob Batalon, Jon Favreau, Marisa Tomei, J. B. Smoove, Benedict Wong, Jamie Foxx, Alfred Molina, Willem Dafoe, Thomas Haden Church, and Rhys Ifans, among others.
