The fabled Snyder Cut is back at it again, this time dominating a new international market. Just days after the official rollout of HBO Max content in India, Zack Snyder’s Justice League has skyrocketed to the top of the charts. The director himself took a victory lap on social media, confirming that his four-hour epic is outperforming some of the biggest blockbusters in cinema history on the subcontinent.

Zack Snyder’s Justice League hits the top spot in India

The expansion of Warner Bros. Discovery’s partnership with JioHotstar has given Indian audiences their first centralized access to the HBO Max library. While the platform now hosts a wealth of premium content, it is a 2021 director’s cut that is getting the most attention. Zack Snyder’s Justice League has clinched the No. 1 position on JioHotstar’s Top 10 Movies list.

The achievement is notable given the caliber of the competition. The Snyder Cut is listed ahead of perennial favorites like Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, recent hits like The Batman, family fare such as Zootopia 2, and even the Marvel juggernaut Avengers: Endgame. This chart performance is in line with Indian fans’ demand for the director’s unadulterated take on the DC superhero team.

Zack Snyder acknowledged the milestone directly with his fanbase on April 19 via an Instagram post. “Zack Snyder’s Justice League just hit #1 on JioHotstar’s Top 10 Movies — right as HBO Max officially launched there! Beating out Harry Potter, Avengers: Endgame, and more… The real Justice League is finally available in India the way it was meant to be seen. 4 hours of epicness. Black suit Superman. Full Cyborg story. Darkseid tease. Who else is firing up JioHotstar right now?”

This rollout finally has the 2021 version of the film, which restores major character arcs for Cyborg and teases the villain Darkseid, to a market that previously lacked a direct HBO Max portal. For Indian fans who championed the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement from afar, this chart-topping debut represents a long-awaited homecoming.
