NEW DELHI — Marvel Cinematic Universe’s latest tentpole, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, has scripted history at the Indian box office on its opening day. Driven by massive fan frenzy, the superhero blockbuster starring Tom Holland and Zendaya registered a historic opening in India, surpassing previous record-holders like Avengers: Endgame, Avatar: The Way of Water, and Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan.

According to box office tracking platform Sacnilk, the Destin Daniel Cretton directorial grossed an astonishing ₹72.44 crore (₹60.60 crore nett) across all language dubs in India on its opening day (Thursday, July 30).

Shattering Hollywood & Bollywood Records

With its Day 1 haul, Spider-Man: Brand New Day now holds the title for the highest opening day ever for a Hollywood release in India.

It comfortably beat the previous records held by:

 Avengers: Endgame — ₹65 crore gross (₹53.60 crore nett)

 Avatar: The Way of Water — ₹48.75 crore gross (₹40.30 crore nett)

The superhero film also outperformed major Indian tentpoles on Day 1, including Pathaan (₹67.19 crore gross). What makes this feat even more remarkable is that Spider-Man: Brand New Day achieved these figures without relying on block bookings.
