It minted approx. 14.50–15 crore nett on the first day, and also left Bollywood flick Crew behind. The New Empire has also beaten the opening day numbers of big franchise movies like Mission Impossible 7 and Fast X.In the domestic market, the film has taken a very good start, with $10 million gross in preview shows. This is the biggest preview number for any Monsterverse film in North America.
