The Spider-Verse phenomenon continues with an epic sequel coming to India

Sony Pictures India has announced that Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse will have one of the widest releases for a computer-generated superhero film in India. The film is set to release in 1800 screens, which is double the number of screens for the first part. However, this release size is relatively lower than that of the live-action Spider-Man films due to the Indian diaspora's lesser interest in animated films compared to the West. The first part of the animated film franchise grossed around one million dollars in India, and the makers aim for the sequel to earn at least three times that amount.
