The Story in Brief
On its second Sunday, Spider-Man: Brand New Day earned Rs 34.70 crore net from 13,862 shows in India, up 11.9% from Saturday. The Tom Holland-starrer has now collected Rs 415.45 crore net and Rs 496.86 crore gross in 11 days. It has surpassed Avatar: The Way of Water (Rs 391.40 crore net, Rs 477.50 crore gross) to become the highest-grossing Hollywood film in India by net collections.
The film opened on July 30 with Rs 60.60 crore and had a massive first week of Rs 334.75 crore net. Its second weekend held well, with Rs 15 crore on Friday, Rs 31 crore on Saturday, and Rs 34.70 crore on Sunday. Worldwide, the film has earned $1.67 billion, according to Deadline.
The Indian Opinion
The Rs 500 crore gross milestone is impressive, but the film's net collection of Rs 415 crore still trails several Indian blockbusters. Some narratives exaggerate Hollywood's dominance over Bollywood, yet Indian films like Baahubali 2 and KGF 2 have grossed over Rs 1,000 crore in India. The test will be whether Brand New Day can sustain beyond its second weekend and cross Rs 500 crore net, which would truly set a new benchmark for Hollywood in India.
