Allu Arjun's Pushpa and Tom Holland's Spider-Man are currently enjoying a healthy run at the ticket windows and are likely to have a steady week. Pushpa collected Rs. 12 crore in 3 days and Spider-Man raked Rs. 108.37 crore in its weekend.

With this, Spidey seems to be sitting pretty on top of the box-office, having beaten the Akshay Kumar-starrer 'Sooryavanshi', which netted Rs 77.08 crore in its first three days.

Internationally, the film earned a record $121.5 million on Friday from 4,336 locations and it was projected to net $242 million in its opening weekend worldwide.

For the cinema exhibition business, this calls for celebrations, because for the first time since 'Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker' in December 2019, a movie will cross $100 million in its opening weekend in the US.

The big question now is whether Spidey will be able to cross the total collection figures of 'Avengers: Endgame' (2019), which has netted Rs 446 crore thus far, to become the most successful Hollywood film in India.

'Avengers: Endgame' is at No. 6 on the list of 50 top grossing films in India, which is topped by the multi-language 'Baahubali 2: The Conclusion' (Rs 1,429 crore), followed by Rajinikanth's '2.0', Aamir Khan-starrer 'Dangal', 'Baahubali: The Beginning' and 'PK', which also had Aamir playing the lead role.

Three other Hollywood films figure in the Top 50 -- 'Avengers: Infinity War' (No. 21), 'The Jungle Book' (No. 28) and 'Lion King' (No. 47).
