Avatar: The Way of Water has done it. It has stormed into the Top-5 biggest Hollywood openers in India, and that too with style. While it was always going to find the second spot after Avengers: End Game [53.10 crores], it was about how much further ahead of Spider-Man: No Way Home [32.67 crores] it would be. Yes, 35 crores first day was always coming but the real fun would always have been to cross the 40 crores or at least come quite close to that.
Well, this has happened indeed with the film finding a very comfortable second spot in the list. Yes, it is far away from Avengers: End Game but then that franchise is an almost different beast in India and it would require something really special from even Hollywood to surpass that. However, the fact that it has surpassed Spider-Man: No Way Home by a distance is no lesser feat either as that Marvel franchise is very well established in India and that too the oldest ever.
Meanwhile, here is looking at the Top-10 biggest Hollywood openers in India. As can be seen, 7 of these are Marvel flicks which shows the kind of (almost) monopoly that the studio has been enjoying in India.
