Spider-Man: Brand New Day has crossed Rs 503 crore in India and now ranks as the second-highest grossing release of 2026, moving ahead of Border 2.
The new pecking order
Bollywood Hungama’s latest box office report puts the Marvel release at Rs 503.73 crore in India. Border 2 ended its run at Rs 341.70 crore. That leaves Dhurandhar: The Revenge as the clear market leader with Rs 1108.09 crore.
The gap between first and second is important for anyone planning release calendars or marketing spends. Dhurandhar is not merely ahead; it is running at more than 2x the second-place film. The chart is heavily concentrated at the top, and the fall-off below third place is sharp.
How the film got here
The theatrical pattern is a case study in front-loading plus sustained hold. The film put up Rs 336 crore in its extended first week, then added Rs 111.78 crore in Week 2. By Weekend 6, it crossed Rs 500 crore.
- Extended first week: Rs 336 crore
- Week 2: Rs 111.78 crore
- Weekend 6: crosses Rs 500 crore
- Current cume: Rs 503.73 crore
If you view the first week as roughly two-thirds of the current cume, the takeaway is that opening demand set the floor. But the extra Rs 167.73 crore after Week 1 is what separated the film from a merely successful run. For media buyers, this argues for continuation campaigns and longer in-cinema brand windows rather than a one-weekend spike.
The 2026 top 10
Beyond the top three, the market clusters between Rs 85 crore and Rs 178 crore. The Odyssey is at Rs 178.16 crore, Bhoot Bangla at Rs 168.26 crore and Dhamal 4 at Rs 163.64 crore. Further down, Welcome To The Jungle (Rs 130.79 crore), Awarapan 2 (Rs 108.18 crore), Cocktail 2 (Rs 92.09 crore) and Obsession (Rs 85.27 crore) complete the list.
For entertainment marketers, the shape of this chart is a planning signal. There is one mega-local event, one durable Hollywood franchise title, and a broad middle. Being in the top three requires a different scale of release, but a solid campaign can still land in the Rs 85-180 crore band with the right slot and audience.
Why this matters
The milestone also changes the reference point for Hollywood in India. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the only imported title in the current top three. Its performance suggests that Indian audiences are willing to treat select Hollywood event films as long-running theatrical events, not just weekend curiosities, provided the IP is strong enough and the local release plan supports sustained play.
