'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' Grosses ₹5 Crore Of Pre-Sales In India

A Box-Office Breakthrough

The Tom Holland starrer Spider-Man: Brand New Day is off to a record-breaking start at the Indian box office, just a day after it opened its advance ticket sales.

Though the movie opened its advanced bookings in India just over a week ago, and almost a month and a half ahead of its release, it has managed to sell around 80,000 tickets in the country's leading chains, Cinepolis and PVR INOX, on the opening day itself.

As a breakdown, it sold 70,000 tickets at PVR Inox and the rest at Cinepolis, which makes its advance gross of ₹5 crore at the Indian box office.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has also surpassed the first-day presale number of several major recent superhero releases such as Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which in 2022 debuted with USD 187.4 million domestically.

Presales Soar Despite Restrictions

Reports also suggest that the pre-sales for the fourth installment have been the best since Spider-Man: No Way Home, which collected an estimated USD 78 million in pre-sales before mounting USD 260.1 million in its opening weekend, followed by over USD 1.92 billion worldwide during its run in theaters.

At present, advance releases are strictly limited to premium formats such as 4DX, PXL and ScreenX, which are only available at in limited numbers in PVR INOX and Cinepolis, and in limited centers too. Other premium large formats in India, such as EPIQ and PCX at Prasads, are yet to open too.

Despite lacking access to IMAX, which has been reserved for a three-week screening deal with Christopher Nolan's upcoming action-fantasy, The Odyssey, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has still managed an astonishingly strong entry in India.
