The Amazing Spider-Man 2 First to Hit India befor US

Indian audiences are in for a treat as 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' is all set to release on May 1 - a day earlier than scheduled. India will thus witness the web slinger's feats a full day before American and Canadian audiences.

Kercy Daruwala, Managing Director – Sony Pictures India said, “The release date will take advantage of the fact that most states have a public holiday on May 1st. As it is, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 releases during the opportune school and college vacation period which is ideal for our audience.”

The Spider-Man franchise has had an extremely successful run at the box office in India. Back in 2012, 'The Amazing Spider-Man' had the widest release of any other Hollywood film in the country and still holds the record for the biggest opening weekend at Rs 34 cr.

The franchise has grown release-on-release with the lifetime box office of The Amazing Spider-Man, which was at Rs. 90.1 cr, being over three times of what it was for the first Spider-Man film back in 2002.

Mr. Daruwala added, “Exciting marketing promotions are being planned for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, including one which celebrates his status as official ambassador of WWF’s Earth Hour on March 29th.”

The second installment of the Andrew Garfield trilogy will release in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu and in 2D, 3D and IMAX 3D. Peter Parker (Garfield) will be seen taking on Electro (Jamie Foxx) and old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan) in the upcoming film.(IT)
