Tom Holland’s latest web-slinging adventure is having a superhero moment in Nepali cinemas too. Spider-Man: Brand New Day has officially become the sixth highest-grossing foreign film in Nepal, with its Nepal box office collection crossing Rs 14 crore just 11 days into its theatrical run — a rare feat for a Hollywood release in the Nepali market.

A Rare Hollywood Triumph in Nepal

According to trade reports, the Marvel blockbuster’s gross collection in Nepal surpassed the Rs 14 crore mark by Sunday, the 11th day of its release. This is a significant milestone because Hollywood films have historically struggled to compete with Bollywood and South Indian releases at the Nepali box office. It has been a long time since an English-language film achieved this kind of sustained pull with Nepali audiences.

Spider-Man Beats Dhurandhar, Kantara and Kalki

In its climb up Nepal’s all-time foreign film chart, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has overtaken several major recent releases, including the Bollywood action drama Dhurandhar, the Kannada blockbuster Kantara, the pan-India epic Kalki 2898 AD, and even Dhurandhar’s own sequel, Dhurandhar 2. With this jump, only five films now stand ahead of it on Nepal’s highest-grossing foreign films list: Jawan, Animal, RRR, KGF Chapter 2, and Pushpa 2.

The achievement is notable given that big-budget Hindi and South Indian films typically dominate Nepal’s box office charts. Foreign (non-Nepali) films collected over Rs 1.11 billion in Nepal in the last fiscal year alone, with Hindi-language titles accounting for the bulk of that revenue, according to data from Nepal’s Film Development Board reported by Rising Nepal Daily. A Hollywood film breaking into the top six is therefore an unusual and headline-worthy development.

Worldwide, Spider-Man: Brand New Day Has Already Crossed $1 Billion

While its Nepal numbers are impressive on a local scale, the film’s global performance is staggering. Spider-Man: Brand New Day has already crossed the $1 billion mark worldwide, cementing its place among 2026’s biggest theatrical releases. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando, and Mark Ruffalo, the film has also emerged as one of the highest-grossing Hollywood films ever released in India, according to a Business Today report, where it topped Rs 400 crore within its first week alone.

Set to Enter the All-Time Top 3 Worldwide Openings Club

Industry trackers project that Spider-Man: Brand New Day is on course to become the third highest-grossing film of all time for a second weekend worldwide, with projections estimating an additional $145 million in its second weekend globally. That kind of second-weekend hold is virtually unheard of for a film already past the billion-dollar mark, and it signals unusually strong word-of-mouth and repeat viewership across major markets.

Why Nepali Audiences Are Flocking to Theatres

Trade observers point to a mix of factors behind the film’s strong Nepal run: high anticipation built up over months of promotion, strong reviews from early audiences, limited competition from other big-ticket releases in the same window, and the enduring popularity of the Spider-Man franchise among younger Nepali moviegoers. Multiplexes in Kathmandu and other major cities have reported consistently high occupancy for English-language shows of the film since its release.

No Signs of Slowing Down

With its momentum showing no signs of stopping, trade analysts expect Spider-Man: Brand New Day to continue climbing Nepal’s all-time foreign film charts in the coming weeks. If the current pace holds, the film could inch closer to the Rs 15–20 crore range domestically, further cementing 2026 as a landmark year for Hollywood releases in Nepal.

For a franchise that began nearly two decades ago, this latest chapter is proving that Spider-Man’s appeal in Nepal — and across the world — is far from fading.
