Spider-Man: Brand New Day Beats Avengers: Endgame To Score Record Advance Booking For A Hollywood Film In India

Mumbai, July 29 - Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures' Spider-Man: Brand New Day is rewriting the record books even before hitting the big screens in India. The Tom Holland-led superhero blockbuster has registered unprecedented demand across the country, putting it on course to deliver the biggest opening ever for a non-Indian film. With bookings continuing to surge, the film is now within touching distance of surpassing Avengers: Endgame's long-standing pre-sales record. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to the latest update, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has sold approximately 85+ crore gross worth of tickets for its opening weekend, including around 45+ crore gross for the opening day alone. The film is expected to overtake Avengers: Endgame's estimated 90 crore opening weekend advance booking before the first show begins and could even become the first Hollywood release in India to touch the 100 crore gross pre-sales milestone. These are unprecedented numbers for a non-Indian title and reflect the extraordinary anticipation surrounding the latest Spider-Man adventure. The massive bookings have put Brand New Day firmly on track for a historic debut at the Indian box office. Industry projections suggest the film is capable of delivering the biggest opening day and opening weekend ever for a Hollywood release in India, surpassing the benchmarks established by Avengers: Endgame.

From Ranbir Kapoor To Yash: Ramayana Stars Gear Up For Multiple Releases in the Span of Three Months

Mumbai, July 29 - The cast of director Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana Part 1 is not only gearing up for one of the biggest Indian films ever made but is also preparing for an incredibly busy theatrical window. Several of the film's lead actors have two major releases within roughly three months, either before or after Ramayana Part 1, ensuring they remain in the spotlight throughout the festive season and into early 2027. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ranbir Kapoor, who plays Lord Rama, will first headline Ramayana Part 1, slated for a grand Diwali 2026 release, before reuniting with Sanjay Leela Bhansali for Love & War, which is scheduled to hit theatres on January 21, 2027. The gap between the two releases is less than three months, giving the actor back-to-back event films in completely different genres. Yash, who essays Ravana in Ramayana, will kick off his theatrical run with the action thriller Toxic on August 26, 2026, which will be his first release in 4 years since the mega blockbuster KGF: Chapter 2. He will then return to the big screen during the Diwali season with Ramayana Part 1, making it two of the year's biggest pan-Indian releases within a short span. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Sunny Deol is also set for a packed release schedule. The actor will first arrive with the period drama Batwara 1947 on August 14, 2026, before portraying Hanuman in Ramayana Part 1 during Diwali. He also has the emotional drama, Gabru, ready for release. Similarly, Sai Pallavi will be seen in Dhanush-fronted OM Chapter 1 on October 16, 2026, followed shortly by her portrayal of Sita in Ramayana Part 1. With blockbuster titles such as Toxic, Batwara 1947, OM, Ramayana Part 1, and Love & War arriving within a compact three-month window, the ensemble cast of Ramayana is poised to dominate the box office conversation. It is rare for so many stars from a single film to have multiple high-profile theatrical releases clustered so closely together, making the final months of 2026 and the beginning of 2027 particularly significant for Indian cinema.

From Fauzi, Avengers: Doomsday To King, December 2026 Turns Into Battleground With 7 Major Releases At India Box Office

Mumbai, July 22 - The final month of 2026 is shaping up to be an absolute blockbuster for moviegoers. Bollywood, pan-Indian cinema, and Hollywood are all bringing some of their biggest titles within a span of just three weeks, setting the stage for one of the most competitive months in box office history. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With multiple event films eyeing premium screens, IMAX auditoriums, and the lucrative holiday season, December could witness several high-profile clashes. The action kicks off on December 3 with Prabhas' Fauzi, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi. The pan-India spectacle is one of the most anticipated films, and will be dominating screens nationwide. Just a day later, Ajay Devgn's Ranger arrives on December 4, while Akshay Kumar's upcoming comedy with Anees Bazmee is also targeting the same day release. That means the opening week itself could see three major commercial entertainers competing for audiences across the country, if the release dates remain unchanged. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The biggest Hollywood showdown is reserved for December 18, when Marvel Studios' Avengers: Doomsday goes head-to-head with Denis Villeneuve's Dune Part 3 (Dune: Messiah). Both films are expected to command a massive IMAX presence worldwide, creating an intense battle for premium screens in India as well. The simultaneous release of two of the year's most anticipated Hollywood blockbusters is likely to have a significant impact on screen allocation. Come this Christmas, superstar Shah Rukh Khan's highly-awaited King is releasing on December 24, giving Bollywood another mega event release during the lucrative holiday period. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the action thriller is expected to be one of the biggest Indian films of 2026 and will arrive just days after the Hollywood heavyweights. A day later, Hollywood blockbuster Jumanji: The Open World hits the big screens, making the competition further intense.

Nitesh Tiwari Confirms Cliffhanger Ending For Ramayana Part 1, As New Trailer Release Date Revealed

Mumbai, July 27 - The excitement surrounding director Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana: Part 1 continues to grow as fresh details about the film's ending and its long-awaited trailer have surfaced. During the film's panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the filmmaker confirmed that the first instalment will conclude on a major cliffhanger, setting the stage for the second chapter. While it may not be a shocking part for Indian audiences, it may definitely lead to massive excitement among international audiences. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Comparing the narrative structure to epic two-part sagas, Tiwari explained that the story naturally demanded a split, allowing the first film to build towards an emotionally charged ending rather than rushing through the entire epic. The update comes just days after the film's trailer was unexpectedly postponed from its originally planned global launch. Producer Namit Malhotra had announced that the trailer would be delayed, citing unforeseen circumstances, despite it being scheduled to debut at Comic-Con before releasing online worldwide. The makers have confirmed that the trailer will now be dropped online on Thursday, July 30, at 4:15 AM, and will be attached to Spider-Man: Brand New Day print in cinemas from July 30, giving audiences their first full look at the ambitious epic on the big screen. As already made official, Ramayana will be distributed by Sony Pictures, the studio behind Brand New Day, internationally, while Dharma Production will release it in India. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The two-part format will allow the makers to explore the Ramayana with greater depth, while the cliffhanger ending is expected to leave audiences eagerly awaiting the conclusion. Ranbir Kapoor, who portrays Lord Ram, recently revealed that some of the film's biggest moments, including the face-off between Lord Ram and Yash's Ravana, have not yet been filmed, underscoring the massive scale and ongoing production of the duology. Yash, meanwhile, has described portraying Ravana as one of the most challenging roles of his career, promising a fresh interpretation of the iconic antagonist. Produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash, Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash, Sunny Deol, and Ravi Dubey in key roles. The first film is slated for a Diwali 2026 release, with Part 2 scheduled to arrive during Diwali 2027, making it one of the most ambitious Indian film franchises ever mounted.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day First Reactions: Tom Holland's Film is Grounded and One of the Best Spider-Man Movies

Mumbai, July 28 - Spider-Man: Brand New Day has finally been seen by the members of the press after the worldwide premiere on July 27. The fourth standalone Spider-Man, led by Tom Holland, is one of the most eagerly awaited, and the early reactions from the premiere indicate why it is generating so much hype, not just in North America, but worldwide. The early reactions say that director Destin Daniel Cretton's blockbuster is grounded, emotionally charged, and one of the best, if not the best, Spider-Man movies across all three series. Following the events after Spider-Man: No Way Home, Brand New Day shows Holland's Peter Parker/Spider-Man being vulnerable yet a hope for mankind.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Eyes Avengers-que $800+ Million Worldwide Opening Weekend

Mumbai, July 28 - Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures are on the verge of delivering one of the biggest box office launches in cinematic history with Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The Tom Holland starrer is now tracking for a staggering $800 million-plus worldwide opening weekend, a figure that would rank second only to Avengers: Endgame. The film's advance-booking campaign has exceeded expectations in virtually every major market, signalling unprecedented demand ahead of its global release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The biggest driving force behind these extraordinary projections is the film's phenomenal advance sales. Pre-sales worldwide are reportedly second only to Avengers: Endgame, with an exceptional response not just in North America but also in international markets such as India, China, South Korea, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, and Latin America. China and South Korea, in particular, have witnessed surprisingly explosive ticket demand after a gap. In North America, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is now reportedly targeting a $300 million-plus opening weekend, a feat achieved only once before by Avengers: Endgame. Overseas markets are expected to contribute more than $500 million, taking the global debut beyond the $800 million mark if current trends continue. If these projections hold, the film will register one of the largest domestic and international debuts ever recorded. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) India is also emerging as one of the strongest international territories for the superhero blockbuster. The film is currently expected to open with at least $5 million over its opening weekend in the country, with the potential to climb to $7 million or more depending on walk-in audiences and premium-format occupancy. Strong demand, coupled with robust bookings across the country, has positioned India among the film's top-performing overseas markets. Should these projections translate into actual box office numbers, Spider-Man: Brand New Day will not only deliver one of the biggest openings in cinema history but also reaffirm Spider-Man's status as the world's most bankable superhero franchise. With bookings already approaching historic levels worldwide, all eyes are now on whether the film can come close to Avengers: Endgame's legendary opening weekend record. It is releasing on July 30 in India.

Awarapan 2 vs Batwara 1947 Box Office: Emraan Hashmi's Film Looks Set To Win Opening Day Battle Against Sunny Deol's Period Drama

Mumbai, July 27 - The Independence Day weekend is set to witness an exciting clash at the Hindi box office as Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan 2 takes on Sunny Deol's Batwara 1947 on August 14, 2026. While both films belong to different genres and are targeting different audiences, the early trade buzz suggests that Awarapan 2 has gained a clear advantage ahead of the release. Though the situation could change once bookings begin and marketing campaigns reach their peak, the sequel is currently leading the race. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to early trade projections, Awarapan 2 is expected to open in the 15 crore net range at the Indian box office. The sequel has generated strong excitement thanks to the cult status of the 2007 original, which found a massive fan following after its theatrical release. Its teaser, music, and nostalgia factor have resonated well with audiences, making it the favourite to secure the biggest opening of Emraan Hashmi's career. On the other hand, Batwara 1947 is currently tracking for an opening day collection in the 5-7 crore net range. Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and backed by Aamir Khan, the period drama stars Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta, Karan Deol, and Shabana Azmi. While the film has the advantage of releasing during the Independence Day holiday and could benefit from positive word of mouth, its pre-release buzz is presently behind that of Awarapan 2, resulting in a comparatively modest opening-day projection. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) It is important to note that these are early trade estimates, and the box office scenario can change significantly closer to release depending on trailer response, promotional campaigns, advance bookings, and audience sentiment. However, based on the current momentum, Emraan Hashmi's romantic action sequel is clearly winning the opening-day battle, with Batwara 1947 likely relying on strong reviews and positive audience reception to bridge the gap over the extended weekend.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Chasing These Five Huge Indian Box Office Records

Mumbai, July 27 - Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures' Spider-Man: Brand New Day is shaping up to be one of the biggest Hollywood releases ever in India. With exceptional advance bookings, massive demand for premium formats, and strong trade projections, Tom Holland's superhero film is in contention to rewrite the Indian box office record books. Here are the five biggest milestones it is chasing: (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 1. Biggest Opening Day For A Non-Indian Film The first target is the biggest opening day ever for a non-Indian film in India. The record is currently held by Avengers: Endgame with around 65 crores gross, but Spider-Man: Brand New Day is expected to challenge this massive record. The movie is currently tracking to open in the 50-60 crores gross range, which keeps it in the race to become the biggest non-Indian opener. 2. Biggest Opening Weekend For A Non-Indian Film If the film manages to score a positive reception, it has a realistic chance of delivering the biggest opening weekend for any Hollywood release in India. Currently, Endgame has the biggest weekend with around 200 crores gross, and Brand New Day should easily beat this, given the positive reception. It will have a 4-day weekend, which is expected to be around 225 crores gross or more. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 3. Biggest Opening Week For A Non-Indian Film The film is also eyeing the record for the highest first-week collection by a non-Indian film. With its family-friendly content, premium screen occupancy, and Spider-Man's massive popularity, the opening week could end up setting a new benchmark, beating Endgame's 315 crores gross week record. 4. Highest-Grossing Non-Indian Film In India Beyond the opening week, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has the potential to become the highest-grossing non-Indian film ever released in India. If audience reception remains strong and collections hold well over the following weeks, it could surpass the lifetime earnings of Avatar: The Way of Water's 477.50 crores gross record. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 5. First 500 Crore Grosser Among Non-Indian Films The biggest milestone of them all is becoming the first non-Indian film to cross ₹500 crore at the Indian box office. While Way of Water and Endgame came closest to this milestone, no Hollywood film has ever been able to unlock this prestigious club. If Spider-Man: Brand New Day enjoys a long theatrical run and maintains strong momentum, it could become the first international release to achieve this historic feat in India. With all five records within very much reach, Spider-Man: Brand New Day isn't just aiming for a blockbuster opening - it has the opportunity to redefine what a Hollywood film can achieve at the Indian box office. The film is scheduled to release on July 30 in English, Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil.

Dhanush Breaks Silence After Raayan's National Award Win Sparks Debate

Chennai, July 27 - Tamil star Dhanush has addressed the criticism surrounding Raayan's National Award win, responding with humility after the film's victory sparked a heated debate on social media. Following the announcement of the 72nd National Film Awards, many cinephiles questioned the jury's decision to honour Raayan as the Best Tamil Film, arguing that critically acclaimed releases such as Meiyazhagan and Maharaja were more deserving of the recognition. Rather than dismissing the criticism, the actor-filmmaker acknowledged the differing opinions and offered a measured response. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Speaking at a recent public event, Dhanush admitted that there were "definitely better films" released in Tamil cinema during the eligibility period. He said he understood why fans of other films were disappointed and respected their views. However, he also pointed out that awards are often unpredictable and do not always go to the films or performances that audiences expect. According to Dhanush, every artist experiences both victories and disappointments, and he believes that recognition comes at the right time. The actor reflected on several of his own acclaimed films that many fans believed deserved National Awards but ultimately missed out. He mentioned titles including Pudhupettai, Mayakkam Enna, Maryan, Vada Chennai, Karnan, 3, and Raanjhanaa, saying that despite widespread appreciation, they did not receive the honour. Dhanush noted that he accepted those outcomes without resentment and viewed the awards as part of a larger journey rather than the ultimate measure of a film's quality. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dhanush also urged audiences to celebrate the achievement instead of focusing solely on the controversy. He emphasised that Raayan was made with sincerity and hard work, and that every member of the team had given their best. He added that while criticism is inevitable, it should not overshadow the efforts of the filmmakers and technicians who contributed to the project. His comments were widely appreciated for their honesty and humility, with many social media users praising the actor for acknowledging the criticism instead of reacting defensively. Released in 2024, Raayan marked Dhanush's second directorial venture and emerged as one of the year's biggest Tamil commercial successes. The film was praised for its intense action, emotional storytelling, and strong performances, eventually earning recognition at the National Film Awards. Although the debate over the winners may continue, Dhanush's graceful response has been widely seen as a reminder that awards can be celebrated without diminishing the accomplishments of other deserving films.
