“Spider-Man: No Way Home” Will Have a Long and Special Appearance in Theaters

The global blockbuster ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ recently scored 263 CR (GBO) in India and is showing no signs of slowing down. The Tom Holland and Zendaya starrer is the highest-grossing film of 2021 in India and fans are still going back to theaters to watch the film several times. The entertainer will continue to play exclusively in theaters for at least the next 2 months, as the film is made for the big screen and is best enjoyed as a larger-than-life experience. Multiplex chains have also gone all out to ensure the safety of all moviegoers and continue to adhere to the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene. If the overwhelming response from the audience is anything to go by, the film is all set to enjoy an extended theatrical run.

Vivek Krishnani, Managing Director, Sony Pictures Films India says, “The fact that it is the biggest post-pandemic global hit shows that audiences are ready to return to theaters if the film in question offers them everything they are looking for. ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ did exactly that. Even though the franchise already had an ardent fan base, the film exceeded everyone’s expectations with a staggering star cast, great action and many twists that completely took the fans by surprise. Heart won. Stop breathing. Hence the film will remain in theaters as it is still attracting hardcore fans to watch again and again.”

Mr. Kamal Gyanchandani, CEO, PVR Pictures Limited says- “The Winter 2021 season kicked off with ‘Spider-Man No Way Home’ in India, with unprecedented advance bookings a day ahead of its worldwide release. The shows were also programmed at 4.15 am on Thursday and sold out within minutes, prompting a massive craze among Spider-Man fans to see their favorite superheroes on the big screen. The film became the biggest film in PVR cinemas after the pandemic. We are grateful to our patrons who are responding incredibly with love and enthusiasm by watching movies in the safe, secure and hygienic environment of our cinemas.
