Spider-Man: No Way Home has clocked the third highest advance sales for a Hollywood film ever on BookMyShow. Apart from the English version of the release, the regional dubbed languages of the film are doing tremendously across Hindi, Telegu and Tamil. Telugu and Tamil versions have already contributed twice as many advance bookings as compared to the 2019 release of Spider-Man: Far From Home. The movie’s release in 3D, IMAX and 4DX formats has also added to the traction with audiences across metros rushing to catch the film in these formats.
Not one to be left behind, Pushpa: The Rise released in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Hindi & Kannada has already crossed 1.8 million tickets sold so far on BookMyShow, hitting a peak of 31 tickets sold per second at 9:38 pm on December 16th. With this, Pushpa: The Rise becomes the second highest film in terms of tickets sold per second, only behind Baahubali 2.

Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Visakhapatnam, Tirupati, Vijayawada, Chennai, Kochi, Mumbai are amongst the top cities where audiences are rushing to catch the movie in cinemas.
After a stellar start to the recovery cycle in November, Spider-Man: No Way Home and Pushpa: The Rise have arrived with a bang in December even as we expect a massive surge in bookings during the upcoming weekend for both films.
