MUMBAI — Web-slinging madness has officially taken over the Indian box office. Tom Holland’s highly anticipated superhero spectacle, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, has unleashed an unprecedented storm in advance bookings. Box office tracking reports confirm the film has crossed a staggering ₹60 crore gross ($6.3 million USD) in presales across India ahead of its release, positioning it as a serious challenger to long-standing Hollywood records in the country.
Out of the ₹60 crore total, opening-day pre-sales account for roughly ₹24 crore, while the remaining ₹36 crore comes from tickets booked for the remainder of its extended four-day opening weekend.
Chasing Marvel’s Ultimate Milestone
For seven years, Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame has held an almost untouched record for Hollywood pre-sales in India, accumulating nearly ₹90 crore in advance ticket sales for its opening weekend. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is currently pacing as the second-highest Hollywood advance booking in Indian cinema history. Trade analysts project that if current momentum holds through Thursday evening, total presales could hit ₹85 crore, putting Endgame’s legendary mark within striking distance.
Mind-Boggling Ticket Sales Across Chains
The sheer volume of ticket purchases reflects an appetite not seen since pre-pandemic tentpoles:
BookMyShow: Over 1 million tickets sold, a feat previously accomplished by only three other films.
National Multiplex Chains (PVRINOX & Cinepolis): Over 350,000 tickets booked for Day 1 alone, with total weekend chain bookings surging past 900,000 tickets.
A Mega-Surge in the Hindi Belt
Unlike several recent Hollywood blockbusters that relied heavily on South Indian circuits, Brand New Day is generating extraordinary traction in North India. Major circuits like Mumbai and Delhi-UP are driving the surge, with smaller Hindi territories posting pre-sale numbers nearly double those of previous Marvel hits such as Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Industry trackers anticipate an extended four-day opening weekend total in India that could breeze past ₹225 crore gross.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day stars Tom Holland alongside Zendaya, Mark Ruffalo, Jon Bernthal, and Sadie Sink. With night shows rapidly selling out across major metro multiplexes, all eyes are now on opening day walk-in crowds to see if the webslinger can officially dethrone Endgame.
