‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Heads for $875 Million Opening at Global Box Office
The Sony Pictures movie, the 11th big-budget Spider-Man blockbuster since 2002, was on pace to have one of the biggest domestic first weekends ever.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day had a huge opening weekend at the global box office, with estimated earnings of $927 million. According to IGN, the film brought in $355 million domestically from 4,487 theaters and $572 million internationally. This makes it the second-largest global opening in history, behind Avengers: Endgame, which earned $1.2 billion in 2019.
The film's domestic opening was also one of the biggest, with Forbes reporting it was only $2 million short of the all-time box office opening weekend record set by Avengers: Endgame. Variety described the film's opening weekend haul as "mind-blowing" and "jaw-dropping", noting that few films earn that much by the end of their box office runs, let alone after three days.
Deadline reported that Spider-Man: Brand New Day was screened at 90,000 screens worldwide and had the second-best ever global opening for a movie, ahead of Avengers: Infinity War's $640.5 million in 2018. The film also broke records as the best ever for the Spider-Man franchise.
