‘Spider Man’ box office: The Marvel blockbuster set to create history with Rs.500 Cr in India?

Spider Man Brand New Day is undeniably a blockbuster, having registered as one of India’s largest Hollywood openings. As per tentative numbers shared by early trade analysts, the Marvel superhero film is poised to fetch between ₹275 crore and ₹300 crore during its opening weekend. The sheer magnitude of this haul has already triggered speculations about the film’s potential for grossing an unprecedented ₹500 crores in India, a feat no Hollywood film managed to accomplish till date.

Avengers: Endgame , currently the highest-grossing Hollywood film in India, scored a mammoth ₹450 crores, and the buzz around the latest Spiderman entry appears to be at least as strong.

The film’s opening has been nothing short of spectacular, with tremendous word-of-mouth fueling advance shows and sell-out screens across the country. The superhero film has had an outstanding opening weekend as it captured the hearts of countless Indian movie lovers.

Nevertheless, the road ahead might prove to be slightly challenging for Spider-Man Brand New Day , as some critics have panned the picture, calling it as only moderately entertaining, despite its dazzling action, graphics and visual appeal. It remains to be seen if the opening weekend’s success will be replicated during the weekdays.

In any case, the onus will be on the weekdays’ collections, with a steady hold from Monday ensuring the superhero film’s rich box-office performance. With this in mind, if the early signs of an spectacular opening weekend are any indication of what is in store for the weekdays, Spider Man Brand New Day will most likely go down in Indian box office history as the first Hollywood film to gross close to ₹500 crores.
