Spider-Man: Brand New Day becomes India's highest-grossing Hollywood film ever
Imagine a friendly superhero named Spider-Man who can swing between buildings and save people.
A new movie about him, called Spider-Man: Brand New Day, has become the most popular Hollywood movie ever in India.
More people went to watch it than any other Hollywood film in the country's history.
In just 11 days, the movie earned more than Rs 415 crore, which is a very big amount of money.
It was also the first Hollywood movie to earn more than Rs 500 crore in India.
It broke the old record set by the movie Avatar: The Way of Water.
The film is doing very well all over the world, earning more than $1.6 billion so far.
Only one movie in history reached one billion dollars faster than it did.
Another Avengers movie is coming soon, and this Spider-Man story is the lead-up to that adventure.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has become the highest-grossing Hollywood film ever at the India box office, earning over Rs 415 crore net within 11 days of its July 30 release.
It is the first Hollywood film to cross the Rs 500 crore gross mark in India, surpassing Avatar: The Way of Water's previous record, reported as both Rs 477.50 crore and Rs 484.36 crore in different articles.
Its extended four-day opening weekend of over Rs 257 crore was the biggest opening ever for a Hollywood film in India, despite IMAX screens going to Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.
The film scored the biggest North America opening ever at $360 million and became the second-fastest film to cross $1 billion worldwide, after Avengers: Endgame.
With worldwide earnings of $1.67 billion, the 38th Marvel Cinematic Universe entry ranks 12th highest-grossing all-time and sets up Avengers: Doomsday, releasing December 18.
