Spider-Man: No Way Home to land in Indian theatres a day before US on December 16

Spider-Man: No Way Home, one of the hugely anticipated Hollywood films of 2021, will now release on December 16 in theatres in India. The Tom Holland-starrer was earlier scheduled to arrive on December 17.  

Sony Pictures Entertainment India took to Twitter to announce the new release date of the film, but the studio did not reveal what led the makers to prepone its release in India. The fans of the franchise, however, are overjoyed as they will get to watch the film a day in advance. An early Christmas gift to them from Sony Pictures Entertainment and Marvel Studios, it seems.
