Rs 500 crore and counting: Inside Sony's India marketing playbook for Spider-Man

Sony Pictures India engineered a deliberately localised marketing campaign for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, helping it cross Rs 500 crore in India in three weeks. Director Jimit Kansara says the strategy focused on culture and community through cricket tie-ins, regional music, celebrities, on-ground activations and partnerships, adapting global assets for Indian markets and engaging fans to convert awareness into sustained box-office footfalls.
