Box Office is considered as the most transparent way to judge the success of a film. With gimmicks like pumping views and likes on videos and posts and bombarding the prospective audiences with positive reviews to form a favourable perception about the movie, the importance of the box office numbers increases even further as it helps to create a clear distinction between which film has been accepted by the audiences and which has not been accepted.
Marvel Studios’ latest offering, Spider-Man: No Way Home took the box office by storm as it managed to become the biggest opener in India this year, surpassing Sooryavanshi by a subsequent margin. Spider-Man: No Way Home opened to an astounding day 1 figure of Rs 32.67 cr all India Nett. The gross figures stand at Rs 41.50 cr. What makes Spider-Man: No Way Home’s opening special is the fact that it has managed to topple a biggie like Sooryavanshi (holiday release) that too on a non-holiday Thursday. With No Way Home, Marvel Studios has achieved a Marvel-ous feat of acquiring the top three spots of Hollywood movie openings in India with Avengers: Endgame managing to top the list and Spider-Man: No Way Home and Avengers: Infinity War managing to secure the second and third spot respectively.
The growth of international films in India is a case study to show how the Indian audiences have embraced popular Hollywood flicks with open arms. The first Spider-Man movie managed a lifetime gross figure of Rs 26 cr and for Spider-Man: No way Home to manage more than that on its very first day goes to show the extent of growth of this popular superhero franchise in India.
