The Hollywood superhero film 'Spider‑Man: Brand New Day' has surpassed the domestic earnings of several high‑profile Indian releases, setting a new benchmark for overseas movies in India.
Spider‑Man: Brand New Day, released in India on 24 October, has crossed the ₹200 crore mark at the domestic box office, eclipsing the earnings of recent Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and Vijay blockbusters. The film’s cumulative gross now stands at ₹215 crore, according to trade analysts.
The record‑breaking performance places the superhero movie among the top‑grossing foreign releases in India, a rare achievement for a Hollywood title. Industry insiders note that the film’s strong opening, coupled with positive word‑of‑mouth, has driven sustained ticket sales across multiplexes and single screens.
While Indian productions continue to dominate the market, Spider‑Man: Brand New Day’s success signals growing appetite for international content. The film’s distributor, Sony Pictures, has announced plans to extend the theatrical run by an additional week to maximise revenue.
The achievement also reflects the broader trend of Hollywood movies gaining traction in the Indian market, especially when they feature globally recognised franchises and high‑budget production values.
