The film delivers the biggest opening day ever for a Hollywood release in India, the biggest opening in the history of the Spider-Man franchise, and the widest Hollywood release ever across 5,000+ screens.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has rewritten the record books in India, grossing an extraordinary ₹73 crore on its opening day to become the biggest Hollywood opener of all time in the country.
Opening to packed houses and phenomenal audience response across India, the film surpassed the previous opening-day benchmark, while also delivering the biggest opening ever for a Spider-Man film and for any Sony Pictures Entertainment release in the market.
The achievement is particularly remarkable as the film reached these milestones on a working Thursday, underscoring the extraordinary demand for Spider-Man among Indian audiences. The film has also registered the second-highest opening day for ANY film (including local films) released in India in 2026.
Released across 5,000+ screens, Spider-Man: Brand New Day also became the widest Hollywood release in Indian history and recorded the highest number of shows ever programmed for ANY film (including local films) in the country. In collaboration with exhibition partners nationwide, the film launched record screens and shows across multiple circuits, reflecting unprecedented confidence from exhibitors and contributing to its historic opening.
The film has opened to an overwhelmingly positive response from audiences and critics alike, with praise centred on Tom Holland’s performance, the film’s emotional storytelling and its grounded, character-driven approach. Strong word-of-mouth and packed shows across the country are expected to drive continued momentum through the weekend.
The historic opening follows an extensive nationwide marketing campaign that transformed Spider-Man: Brand New Day into the year’s biggest entertainment events. Through a combination of large-scale spectacles, collaborations across sports, music and entertainment, creative partnerships with cricketers and actors, and immersive fan experiences, the campaign generated massive nationwide conversation and helped fuel extraordinary anticipation ahead of release.
Released by Sony Pictures Entertainment India in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is now playing in cinemas nationwide.
