Highest-Grossing Hollywood Films At The Indian Box Office: Spider-Man: Brand New Day Storms Into The Top 5

Hollywood has always had an uphill battle in Indian cinemas. Foreign films make up a small sliver of what people here actually go watch, Bollywood and regional blockbusters own the box office, year after year. So when a Hollywood release does break through, it tends to be a big deal: Tom Holland's Spider-Man: Brand New Day has done in days what most Hollywood films never do in India at all, crack the all-time top five. Here's where the country's biggest Hollywood hits stand now.

1. Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)

Indian box office: Approx. ₹390–480 crore (estimates vary by tracker)

James Cameron's return to Pandora remains the benchmark, driven by groundbreaking visual effects and a long IMAX-and-3D run that encouraged repeat viewing for weeks.

2. Avengers: Endgame (2019)

Indian box office: Approx. ₹370 crore

The culmination of 22 Marvel films drew record advance bookings and one of the biggest opening weekends ever for a Hollywood film in India.

3. Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)

Indian box office: ₹336+ crore gross and still climbing (5 days)

Brand New Day opened to roughly ₹61 crore net on day one and crossed ₹200 crore net within its opening weekend, the biggest Hollywood opening weekend in Indian history, and the sixth-biggest opening overall across all languages. Globally, it posted the second-best worldwide debut ever at $927 million, trailing only Endgame.

4. Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

Indian box office: Approx. ₹260 crore

Tom Holland's third solo outing became an instant favourite thanks to its multiverse storyline and the returns of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.

5. Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

Indian box office: Approx. ₹227 crore

Marvel's first grand-finale chapter brought together nearly every major hero to face Thanos, ending on one of the most shocking cliffhangers in blockbuster history.

Brand New Day has already overtaken No Way Home and Infinity War within its first week, bumping The Lion King (2019) out of the top five entirely. If it holds strong through its second and third weekends, the real test for any Hollywood release in India it's on track to challenge Endgame, and possibly Avatar: The Way of Water
