Spider-Man Crosses 100 Crore Net in Two Days, the Fastest a Foreign Film Has Ever Done It in India

Spider-Man: Brand New Day added 49.35 crore net on its first Friday, taking the India total to 109.95 crore net in two days on a gross of 131.46 crore. No non-Indian film has reached the hundred-crore mark here this quickly.

The day-two drop of 18.6 percent is the number worth reading. A record opening day usually comes with a steep Friday correction, because the first day absorbs every advance booking at once. Under twenty percent, on a Thursday-to-Friday move, indicates the audience beyond the opening-day rush is turning up rather than staying away. Friday's English shows ran at 49.31 percent overall with night shows at 66.78 percent, while the Hindi version reported occupancy around 90 percent.

Bollywood Hungama is projecting an opening weekend near 235 crore in India, with the possibility of approaching 250 crore if Saturday and Sunday behave as expected. Worldwide the film has crossed 270 million dollars, roughly 2,600 crore, including a 72 million dollar preview figure in North America.
