New Spider-Man film sees second-best global opening weekend ever
Spider-Man: Brand New Day brought in $927m (£687m) of global ticket sales to make it the second-biggest opening weekend ever as it shot past its estimated $225m production budget.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day shattered records with its second-best global opening weekend, grossing $927 million (£687 million) in ticket sales and surpassing its $225 million production budget. The film, starring Tom Holland and Zendaya, fell only behind the record-breaking Avengers: Endgame in 2019. Brand New Day also set a second-best North American record, earning $335 million at the box office.
This strong performance offers a much-needed boost for Disney following a series of underperforming Marvel movies. The sequel, released last week, continues Peter Parker's crime-fighting journey in a world that has forgotten his masked identity. Critics have praised the film, with some calling it Holland's best Spider-Man performance yet.
Following Avengers: Doomsday, the final big-screen installment before Doomsday, Marvel's recent films have struggled to capture the broad audiences of their peak. However, the comeback of big-screen cinema, driven by hits like Toy Story 5, Michael, and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, has seen North American box office takings on track to exceed $10 billion for the first time since 2019.
