Spiderman Brand New Day is closing in on the 500 crore nett mark as it hits 475 crore nett plus in three weeks. Like Avatar - The Way Of Water fell a little short of 400 crore nett this film may fall a little short of 500 crore nett but these are just pointless benchmarks for the media today as it hardly matters if its 490 or 500 crore.

The biggest takeaway from this will be is it will make it difficult for a big Hindi film to release this Christmas as Avengers - Doomsday is a bigger film than Spiderman - Brand New Day. King is due for release for Christmas and obviously huge numbers will be expected but its pretty much impossible to have any chance to meet those expectations if you release with Doomsday looking at the figures of Spiderman Brand New day and where it has accumulated these collections from.. 

Doomsday will also be affected but there the studio will hardly care and India is not so important in the bigger scenario. The problem will be that the best markets of King be it South and the bigger centres will be the best markets for Doomsday also. If the Hindi film was for Gujarat, CI Rajasthan or even Punjab then it would be lesser of an issue but its not the case here as these will be the under performers for King and Doomsday.

At the moment King is set to arrive on Christmas but logically it looks pretty much impossible unless you take the call that Doomsday will fall flat but no one can do that. There is also Dune 3 there on the same day and again its best markets will be same as King and Doomsday. A smaller Hindi film with lesser expectations targetting the Hindi mass belts can come but not a big budget film like King. Basically King should not come but they way this industry is functioning today it does make some very bad decisions.
