Spider-Man: Brand New Day just missed Avengers: Endgame's all-time box office record

Spider-Man: Brand New Day had a strong opening weekend, grossing $355 million in the United States. According to Deadline, its opening day and previews reached $168 million, potentially outstripping Avengers: Endgame's previous record of $157.4 million. However, it narrowly missed becoming the highest-grossing opening weekend of all time in the US, falling short of Avengers: Endgame's record.

The film was leaked online before its release, with a high-quality unauthorised copy uploaded to X, reaching 5.9 million accounts and garnering over 143,000 likes and 10,000 reposts before being taken down, as reported by the Times of India and Live Mint. The leak was attributed to an account identified as Fredrick Bryan, which uploaded the film at approximately 6:05 am Pacific Time. Despite the leak, the film's theatrical performance seemed unaffected, with strong audience interest and significant box office success.

The global momentum of Spider-Man: Brand New Day is expected to be substantial, with early estimates suggesting it could earn between $465 million and $470 million worldwide, according to Live Mint.
