Spider-Man: Brand New Day's Advance Booking Is Chasing an Avengers: Endgame Record

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has sold 2.4 lakh tickets in national chains for its first day alone, with advance booking presales already past 40 crore and trending toward a 50 crore-plus net opening. That would put Tom Holland's film in a category only one other Hollywood release has ever reached in India: Avengers: Endgame's record 53.10 crore opening-day net in 2019, still unmatched by any English-language film here.

The timing is notable. It opens 31 July directly into a market where The Odyssey, Dhamaal 4 and Jana Nayagan are all still running strong, three films that have spent the past week proving the floor can hold more than one hit at a time without anyone losing business. Whether it can do the same to an opening this large, rather than a mid-run comedy or a regional release, is the real test the next few days set up.

For context on the scale being discussed: The Odyssey, currently the best-reviewed film of Christopher Nolan's career, needed nine days to cross 125 crore net. If Spider-Man's presales convert anywhere close to projection, it could get within striking distance of that total in its opening weekend alone.
