SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME had a huge extended first week as it collected around 148 crore nett. The film had a drop on Wednesday but then on Thursday recorded the same collections as Wednesday to go into week two with rock steady collections.

The film is looking like the first BLOCKBUSTER film in India post pandemic as collections seem to have held up very well on its second Friday despite the release of '83. The way the film is going on Friday morning, it looks like the 200 crore nett mark will be easy for the film and the finish will be more in the 225-250 crore nett range.

The film has done well across the board though the outperformance is in South India with Hindi circuits playing catch up through the week. The Hindi circuits were catching up but now there is huge competition with '83 which may give the Southern circuits an advantage again.

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME saw a drop in collections in Wednesday as it collected 8.25-8.50 crore nett to take its seven day first week total to 139 crore nett. This is the highest first week total seen in India post the pandemic though the Telugu film PUSHPA: THE RISE - PART 01 will be more than this as the six day figure of that film is more.

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME will now end with an extended eight day first week total in the 146-147 crore nett range. The drop has come on day seven; so hopefully the collections will be steady on day eight as the film has been accepted, especially in the metros.

The film is sure to give competition to '83 on Saturday and Sunday as both compete for the same audience. These two days will be crucial if it is to cross the 200 crore nett mark.

In a weird scenario, PUSHPA: THE RISE - PART 01 (Hindi) is now beating SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME in a few of the Hindi circuits but shockingly, SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME is recording better numbers than PUSHPA: THE RISE - PART 01 in some cinemas of Hyderabad which is the biggest city for Telugu films.

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME did well again on Tuesday as it collected another 10.5-11 crore nett taking its six day total to 130 crore nett. The business of the film is around 28 crore nett in Mumbai circuit with Maharashtra on 50% occupancy while Delhi/UP is around 22.50 crore nett which is a superb number and it looks like its on its way to beat SOORYAVANSHI in Delhi/UP.

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME will beat SOORYAVANSHI in Delhi/UP, East Punjab and West Bengal out of the Hindi circuits. In South the film has notched up around 17 crore nett in Nizam/Andhra in direct competition with PUSHPA: THE RISE - PART 01. The collections here have held up very well after the drop on day two.

The film looks on course to becoming the first 200 crore nett plus film in India post the pandemic but a lot depends on the second Friday. The Telugu film PUSHPA: THE RISE - PART 01 is also in this race and that film also depends on its second Friday too. PUSHPA: THE RISE - PART 01 has an edge at the moment but collections are dropping faster than SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME.

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME sustained very well on Monday with collections of 12-2.50 crore nett to take its business to 120 crore nett plus. The drop is 40% from Friday with South showing a better trend and it coming after a four day weekend which makes it even better.

The first week business of the film will be in the 145-150 crore nett region for eight days and the seven day figures of the film will be more than SOORYAVANSHI. The second week will see Christmas week and the release of '83 in multiple languages but SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME should get its audience especially on Saturday and Sunday.

The film is on course for the 200 crore nett mark which will be a first in India post the pandemic. It will also be that first BLOCKBSUTER in India post the pandemic though it will be second weekend which will confirm that.

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME recorded an outstanding four day weekend of 108 crore nett with a strong performance all over the country especially in the South. The best performing market from the Hindi circuits was Delhi/UP as it clocked up around 18.50 crore nett. The numbers in Mumbai circuit were held back a little by Maharashtra due to the 50% occupancy rule which meant Mumbai city and Pune city were not at optimum pace.

West Bengal also saw outstanding figures and so did East Punjab and both these circuits look on pace to surpass the business of SOORYAVANSHI. SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME had around 35% of its business come from South India over the weekend but on day one it was over 40%. The huge drop in Nizam/Andhra on day two when PUSHPA: THE RISE - PART 01 released made a dent into the business from the South. Nizam/Andhra had started with an all time record on day one for Hollywood releases. 

It is now about the hold on Monday and the target will be to remain in double digits as then the film can benefit next Saturday and Sunday as its a holiday weekend which will ensure good second week numbers. The film also tore apart all post pandemic box-office records across the world as it collected around $600 million. Not only post pandemic, but even before that there are only one or two films which can compete with these sort of opening numbers in the history of Hollywood. The India contribution to the worldwide number was around 3%.

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME is cruising to a $500 million plus worldwide opening weekend which means it may well become the biggest post pandemic worldwide grosser in just a week as the Xmas holidays start on Monday across US and Europe.

These collections are insane and interestingly, they would have been higher as Europe has been affected by the new Coronavirus threat which would have kept some of potential audience away. This threat is likely to get bigger in the coming Xmas and New Year period but as long as cinemas stay open, there is always going to be an audience for such a film.

India recorded the fifth highest opening in International markets though with AVENGERS: ENDGAME, it was the fourth best after United Kingdom, South Korea and Mexico which was one place better. The India business should have been 30% more if Hindi circuits were like pre pandemic and that would have meant $7 million gross instead of $5.5 million. This would have meant third place in international markets.

The South Korean box office seems to be suffering even worse than India while UK has also been hit despite huge numbers as pre pandemic it would have led the international markets by a margin. 

The top ten openings of SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME in overseas markets is as follows. All figures are GROSS.

1. Mexico - $9 million (INR 68 crore)

2. United Kingdom - $7.65 million (INR 57 crore)

3. Australia - $6.30 million (INR 47.50 crore)

4. Germany - $5.70 million (INR 43 crore)

6. South Korea - $5.25m (INR 39.50 crore)

7. France - $4.3 million (INR 32.50 crore)

8. Brazil - $3.6 million (INR 27 crore)

9. Russia - $3.5 million (INR 26.50 crore)

10. Italy - $3.4 million (INR 25.50 crore)

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME scored another big day at the box office as it clocked up collections in the 20 crore nett range taking its two day total to around 52.50 crore nett. The film was always going to drop on day two especially as it a big ratio of business coming from the South and these circuits were going to drop.

On day one, the film set an all time record in Nizam/Andhra for Hollywood beating the numbers of AVENGERS: ENDGAME but that circuit has been hit worst with a huge drop due to the release of local film PUSHPA: THE RISE - PART 01. The drop in business in Mumbai and Delhi/UP is considering a Thursday release which took a huge opening.

The film will pick up well in the Hindi circuits on Saturday and there may be improvement in South also. Nizam/Andhra should do better as it will get more screenings on day three. The four day weekend has a shot of 100 crore nett. The highest three opening weekend post the pandemic in India is SOORYAVANSHI and SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME will have a chance to beat that though the collections in Hindi circuits will not be at the level of SOORYAVANSHI.

West Bengal and East Punjab are the circuits where it will beat SOORYAVANSHI while the others remain below. Obviously there is a huge difference in South and SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME has crossed SOORYAVANSHI there in just two days.

The two day numbers of SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME are as follows.

Thursday - 32,75,00,000 apprx

Friday - 19,75,00,000 apprx
