‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Opens to ₹60.60 Crore in India, Sets New Opening-Day Record for the Franchise
Marvel Studios’ latest superhero blockbuster, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, has made a spectacular debut at the Indian box office, collecting an estimated ₹60.60 crore on its opening day, according to early trade estimates from Sacnilk. The film has not only emerged as the biggest release of the week but also surpassed the opening-day performance of Spider-Man: No Way Home, setting a new franchise record in India.
Released in Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam, the film stars Tom Holland reprising his iconic role as Spider-Man and is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton.
‘Brand New Day’ Beats ‘No Way Home’ Opening
According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Spider-Man: Brand New Day earned ₹60.60 crore on its first day in India.
For comparison, Spider-Man: No Way Home, released in 2021, collected ₹41.51 crore on its opening day in the country. The latest installment has comfortably exceeded that benchmark, highlighting the continued popularity of Marvel’s web-slinger among Indian audiences.
The impressive opening also positions the film among the strongest Hollywood debuts in India in recent years.
Tom Holland Returns as Spider-Man
The latest Marvel adventure sees Tom Holland return as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, continuing one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most successful franchises.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the film has benefited from strong advance bookings, premium-format screenings, and widespread fan anticipation.
Industry analysts expect the movie to maintain strong momentum through its opening weekend if audience response remains positive.
Bollywood Release ‘Bhai Tera Star Hai’ Gets Slow Start
While Marvel dominated cinemas, the Hindi film Bhai Tera Star Hai, starring Raghav Juyal and directed by Vivek B. Agrawal, struggled to attract audiences.
According to Sacnilk estimates, the film collected only ₹25 lakh on its opening day, reflecting the overwhelming competition from the Hollywood blockbuster.
Trade experts believe the limited opening indicates that the film may face an uphill battle unless positive word-of-mouth boosts weekend collections.
‘Jan Nayakan’ Crosses ₹153 Crore
Tamil superstar Vijay Thalapathy’s Jan Nayakan continued its theatrical run despite new competition.
On its eighth day, the film earned an estimated ₹3.98 crore, down from ₹6.10 crore on Day 7.
Its total domestic box office collection has now reached approximately ₹153.48 crore, maintaining a strong performance in the Tamil market.
‘The Odyssey’ Sees Collections Dip
Christopher Nolan’s epic drama The Odyssey also experienced a decline in earnings following the arrival of Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
The film collected an estimated ₹2.75 crore on Day 14, compared with ₹4.25 crore on the previous day.
Its cumulative India box office collection now stands at approximately ₹135.32 crore.
Starring Matt Damon, Tom Holland, and Anne Hathaway, the film continues to attract audiences despite increased competition from Marvel’s latest release.
Did ‘Spider-Man’ Affect ‘The Odyssey’?
The arrival of Spider-Man: Brand New Day appears to have coincided with a noticeable decline in The Odyssey’s daily earnings.
While weekday collections naturally taper after the second week, the release of a major Marvel blockbuster likely intensified competition for premium screens and audience attention. However, a single day’s performance is not enough to conclusively determine the long-term impact, and the coming weekend will provide a clearer picture of how both films perform.
