SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY has taken a huge opening all over and it will be the biggest opening day ever for a Hollywood film in India as its practically certain to beat the long standing record of AVENGERS: ENDGAME, set in 2019. The film looked assured to be among the top openings for Hollywood over the weekend but by Tuesday it looked on target for the biggest ever opening day.

AVENGERS: ENDGAME had collected a huge 53 crore nett plus opening at that time as it sold 9.7 lakh tickets at the national chains before release for the first day. It remains a record for any film released in India, be it a film from India or abroad.

The advance here for SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY is 5.85 lakh which is 40% less than AVENGERS: ENDGAME but with todays pricing, the collections are greater and this is going to lead to the highest opening ever for a Hollywood film. Actually best way to put it is it SHOULD as certainty is only when it happens.

The dynamics have changed since AVENGERS: ENDGAME for Hollywood releases and though the record should come at an all India level, its unlikely to beat ENDGAME figures in the Hindi film circuits. It will probably be that it is less than AVENGERS: ENDGAME  in all of our circuits but the Southern circuits are much higher than the 2019 flick.

Although these South films are talked about being pan India, its Hollywood that is actually REAL pan India as a Hollywood event film is guaranteed to score all over while with the so called pan India films which come from the South, its a HIT and MISS scenario.
-------------------------------------
SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY has set a new opening day record for Hollywood films in India as it beats the figures of AVENGERS: ENDGAME, which was released in 2019. The collections have crossed the 55 core nett mark and may well end up at around 60 crore nett which is a huge number. Not only is this the biggest opening for Hollywood ever but also the second biggest opening in India after DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE and this includes the films from South India as well.

The collections coming from the Hindi circuits are less than AVENGERS: ENDGAME again showing how the audience is lesser than before the pandemic especially for films more targetted towards the bigger centres. Rajasthan, CI, West Bengal and East Punjab, whichever circuit has come in, is less than AVENGERS: ENDGAME and in some the margins are there even though this is seven years later.

The South is different as all markets are higher than AVENGERS: ENDGAME and by good margins. This should change over the weekend as the ratio of the Hindi markets gets better. Its a four day weekend. So no doubt, its going to be huge although there will be a drop today and its about whether the film challenge the lifetime of AVENGERS: ENDGAME or AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER, with the latter having the lifetime record for Hollywood.
-------------------------------------
SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY will turn out to be a BLOCKBUSTER film as expected as the second day sees a good hold. The first day collected around 60 crore nett and the second day will be around 50 crore nett. There is the weekend to come and with the film only falling 15% on Friday it means the best days are likely to be Saturday and Sunday.

The film already has 110 crore nett up on the board and the weekend is sure to be above 225 crore nett and could even go to 250 crore nett depending on the growth on Saturday. The Hindi circuits are yet to challenge the numbers of AVENGERS: ENDGAME but should happen on Saturday and Sunday.

Its been a huge month Hollywood not just in India but across the world as SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY comes just after another box office BLOCKBUSTER, THE ODYSSEY. This film has seen servers crash overseas due to the public craze to watch the best premium format cinemas. In India, the film has done 135 crore nett business so far and despite the release of SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY, it still holds steady as the week on week drop may be just 50% even with SPIDER-MAN. The film could go towards that 175 crore nett mark.

SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY is on a different level and is pretty much on course to become the biggest Hollywood film ever in India in terms of collections but the target is probably to become the first Hollywood film to hit 500 crore nett. AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER did almost 400 crore nett and that does not look much of a target for SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY  after this day two hold.
-------------------------------------
SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY continued its record breaking run on Saturday as it set a new high for the weekend for Hollywood beating the 157 crore nett of AVENGERS: ENDGAME. SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY has a three day weekend of 175-180 crore nett as it added around 65-70 crore nett compared to the 110 crore nett it picked up on the first two days.

The Saturday is also the highest day ever for Hollywood as SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY beat its own record set on the first day. The Sunday should collect at least as much as Saturday. So, the film is sure to do a 240 crore nett. The target will be 250 crore nett and the film has a chance though growth for Hollywood releases is limited on Sunday.

The film also set a record for the highest ever day for Hollywood in Mumbai and Delhi/UP on Saturday and on Sunday it could be the likes of East Punjab and the Central belts will follow. In the South, all records have been beaten by leaps and bounds and these figures are all coming without the IMAX screens. It is pretty clear the film will be the biggest from Hollywood of all time in terms of collections and if Monday can close at less than 50% down from the Friday, it will have a shot at 500 crore lifetime finish.
