Tom Holland starrer remains rock-steady in Week 3 despite ‘Awarapan 2’, with a strong Saturday Sunday jump keeping the blockbuster run alive
The web slinger simply refuses to slow down.Spider-Man: Brand New Day has continued its extraordinary run at the Indian box office, moving towards the ₹475 crore mark despite entering its third week and facing fresh competition from Awarapan 2. With screens and shows also seeing a slight reduction, the film’s ability to deliver a strong weekend once again underlines its remarkable staying power.
According to KBP REVIEW latest trade figures, the Tom Holland-led Marvel spectacle collected ₹3.90 crore on Friday, ₹10.40 crore on Saturday and ₹9.60 crore on Sunday, taking its Week 3 weekend total to ₹23.90 crore. The overall India nett collection now stands at an impressive ₹471.68 crore across all versions.
The most encouraging part of the run is not simply the ₹470 crore plus total but the way the film is behaving in its third week. A film dropping into Week 3 would normally be expected to lose a significant portion of its audience, particularly when a new Hindi release arrives with fresh screens and promotional visibility.
Brand New Day managed to almost triple its Friday collection on Saturday and then maintain a strong ₹9.60 crore on Sunday.That kind of weekend recovery is exactly what gives the film a genuine shot at the ₹500 crore India nett milestone. ₹471.68 Crore After Three Weeks: Here’s The Breakdown
The film’s India business has been remarkably consistent throughout its theatrical journey.Week 1: ₹336 crore – 8 days, Thursday release Week 2: ₹111.78 crore Week 3 Weekend: ₹23.90 crore Total: ₹471.68 crore nett The first week established Spider-Man: Brand New Day as a major theatrical force, while the second week proved that the opening was not merely driven by franchise hype.
Now, the third-weekend numbers are providing the clearest indication yet that the film has developed genuine legs.The Saturday jump from ₹3.90 crore to ₹10.40 crore is particularly significant. It shows that audiences are still actively choosing the film despite newer options arriving in theatres.
And that is where the ₹500 crore target starts looking less like a prediction and more like a realistic next milestone. ‘Awarapan 2’ Couldn’t Stop Spidey The arrival of Awarapan 2 was expected to put some pressure on Spider-Man: Brand New Day, particularly in urban centres and multiplexes where the Hindi film could potentially attract younger and adult audiences.
There has been some reduction in the number of screens and shows for the Spider-Man film, but the response has remained remarkably resilient. The bigger story is that the film did not surrender its audience completely to the new release.
Instead, it bounced back strongly over the weekend. That tells us something important about the nature of its box-office run: this is no longer just an opening-weekend phenomenon. The film has built enough audience good will and franchise pull to continue generating substantial footfalls deep into its run.
Recent trade coverage has also highlighted how extraordinary the film’s Indian performance has become. Brand New Day crossed the ₹500 crore mark in India around its second-week run according to some trade trackers, while the latest figures supplied for its all-version India nett business put it at ₹471.68 crore on the specific reporting basis above.
The ₹471.68 crore figure should be treated as the current figure for this particular trade estimate, A Historic Start Set The Tone The foundation for this run was laid on Day 1 itself. Spider-Man: Brand New Day opened to a thunderous response in India with The Indian Express reporting an opening-day gross of ₹72.44 crore, without block bookings or preview shows.
Advance sales crossed major milestones before release and trade reports indicated that the film was heading towards the biggest Hollywood openings ever recorded, The opening weekend then transformed that anticipation into a genuine box-office event, an India nett opening weekend of approximately ₹257.60 crore, calling it the biggest opening weekend for a Hollywood release in India.
First, Spider-Man remains the most recognisable and universally popular superhero characters in India. The character has managed to connect with audiences across generations, from viewers who grew up with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield to younger audiences introduced to Tom Holland’s version through the MCU.
Second, Brand New Day arrived with the advantage of being positioned as a major theatrical Spider-Man event, rather than simply another superhero release.Third, the film benefited from strong presentation across multiple Indian-language versions, allowing it to reach beyond the traditional English-language Hollywood audience.
The film also had a major promotional advantage: Marvel’s next giant crossover, Avengers: Doomsday, became part of the theatrical conversation. Marvel confirmed that the first Doomsday trailer would play with Spider-Man: Brand New Day in India across English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu screenings.
That helped keep the film at the centre of MCU conversations even after its release. The Hindi Market Has Played Its Part Another important factor has been the film’s Hindi-language performance. Hollywood releases traditionally face a ceiling in India outside the major English-speaking urban audience. Brand New Day.
However, managed to become a much broader theatrical phenomenon.Its accessibility across Indian languages and the strength of the Spider-Man brand helped the film travel beyond metros.The early response was already visible in occupancy trends. Trade reports showed exceptionally strong demand in the Hindi version during the opening period, with the film recording packed shows across major markets.
That broad audience base is now proving useful during the later weeks. The ₹500 Crore Question So, can Spider-Man: Brand New Day cross ₹500 crore nett in India? At this stage the answer looks increasingly positive.
The film needs roughly ₹28.32 crore to move from ₹471.68 crore to ₹500 crore.Considering it has already collected ₹23.90 crore in just the third weekend, the remaining distance is relatively small.The crucial point will be the weekday hold. If the film manages even a reasonable Monday to Thursday run before the next major wave of releases, the ₹500 crore milestone could arrive sooner than expected.
Current international box-office reporting puts the film at around $2.02 billion worldwide, comprising approximately $785.8 million from North America and $1.236 billion from overseas markets. It crossed the $2-billion milestone in just 17 days, becoming only the eighth film ever to reach that level and the second-fastest after Avengers: Endgame.
The overseas performance is being powered by major markets including China, the UK, France, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, South Korea and Germany. China alone has contributed around $210 million, while the UK has crossed $100 million.
Interestingly, India itself has now emerged as one of Sony Pictures’ strongest markets for the film, with Brand New Day reportedly becoming Sony’s highest-grossing release in several international territories, including India.
