"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" already surpassed the record for the biggest opening day in box office history, with its initial Friday earnings of $168 million, surpassing the record set by "Avengers: Endgame" in 2019.

The film's record-breaking weekend has solidified its position as the biggest opening in Sony Pictures' history and has now made Marvel Studios the holder of four of the biggest worldwide opening weekends ever.
