- Spider-Man: Brand New Day overtook James Cameron's 2022 Avatar: The Way of Water as the highest-grossing Hollywood film of all time in India after only 11 days, reaching a cumulative $52.8M
- The Tom Holland and Zendaya-starring film added $10.6M over the weekend in India alone
- Its run comes as India's first half box office shows signs of market recovery, per the source
Why it matters: For Hollywood distributors recalibrating their India strategy, Spider-Man: Brand New Day replacing a three-year-old Avatar: The Way of Water record in just 11 days offers concrete evidence that the territory can still deliver record-breaking theatrical hauls. The source's market-recovery framing gives studios a data point to justify continued tentpole investment in Indian releases.
