‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Soars to $355M for Second-Biggest Opening Weekend Ever

Sony and Marvel's "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" has achieved a significant box office milestone with a domestic launch of $355 million from 4,487 North American theaters. According to Variety, this makes it the second-biggest debut in domestic box office history, following 2019's "Avengers: Endgame" which earned $357 million.

The film's success is notable, especially considering the current theatrical landscape. As TheWrap reports, "Brand New Day" may still have a chance to surpass "Avengers: Endgame"'s domestic record, depending on Sunday matinee and evening walk-up sales. However, it's worth noting that "Brand New Day" had Wednesday early access screenings for Prime Video members and a Thursday preview period that began at noon, which may have contributed to its strong start.

The film's achievement is also highlighted by its performance in comparison to previous Spider-Man films. Deadline reports that "Brand New Day" posted an all-time record opening day/previews with $168M, outstripping the previous first day record owned by "Avengers: Endgame" ($157.4M). With a strong overseas demand and a record-setting start in several territories, "Brand New Day" is tracking for a massive global opening, according to Live Mint.
