Spider-Man: Brand New Day earned Rs 61 crore in India on its opening day, Thursday, 30 July 2026, the highest opening for any Hollywood film in the country and the second-biggest opening of 2026 so far, behind Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Its first four days brought in Rs 257.60 crore, and the first eight-day week reached Rs 336.60 crore, which is the highest first-week total for any Hollywood film in India. The weekend days earned Rs 48.30 crore on Friday, Rs 70.80 crore on Saturday and Rs 77.50 crore on Sunday. The figures come from a trade report dated 8 August 2026, and they placed the film among the leading performers of the year in India.
The argument that this was a record-setting run is based on the daily numbers. The film grew through the weekend, from Rs 48.30 crore on Friday to Rs 77.50 crore on Sunday, which shows that word of mouth and weekend audiences were adding to the opening. The weekdays that followed brought in a combined Rs 79 crore, with Rs 23.60 crore on Monday, Rs 22 crore on Tuesday, Rs 18.30 crore on Wednesday and Rs 15.10 crore on Thursday, and the total for the week of Rs 336.60 crore is a record for a Hollywood film in India. The trade report expected the film to pass the lifetime totals of Avengers: Endgame, at Rs 367 crore, and Avatar: The Way of Water, at Rs 378 crore, possibly by the second weekend, so it was on course to become the biggest Hollywood film in the country.
The counter-argument is that the numbers fell quickly after the opening and that the benchmarks had not yet been passed. The Rs 61 crore of Thursday was followed by Rs 48.30 crore on Friday, and by Thursday of the second week the daily figure had fallen to Rs 15.10 crore, about a quarter of the opening day. A first week of Rs 336.60 crore is still Rs 30.40 crore short of the lifetime figure for Endgame and Rs 41.40 crore short of Avatar: The Way of Water, so records depend on a strong second weekend. A big opening for a Hollywood film also reflects a large release, and it does not say anything about the health of the market for Indian films. In the same period, several Indian releases, including Bhai Tera Star Hai, The Bose Files: Sach Ya Sazish and Dil Deewana Ho Gaya, were reported to have had a poor first week.
The record matters because it shows how large the market for Hollywood films has become in India, and how much a single film can dominate screens for a week. For Indian producers, the week highlights the competition for multiplex screens and the importance of choosing release dates with care. For exhibitors, a film that earns Rs 336.60 crore in eight days fills screens that would otherwise show other releases. The comparison with Indian films that failed in the same week is a reminder of the gap between the biggest titles and the rest.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day broke India’s Hollywood records in its first week. The second weekend, and the lifetime totals of Endgame and Avatar, were the next tests.
