the latest summer blockbuster.

Sony and Marvel's "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" debuted with an estimated $355 million at the domestic box office over the weekend, narrowly missing the record-breaking $357 million opening weekend of 2019's "Avengers: Endgame." The film initially raked in $169.3 million on Friday, including presales, and $101.5 million on Saturday.

Sony predicts a $84 million Sunday gross, bringing the total estimated to $355 million. Final numbers will be released on Monday. Only the second Hollywood film to surpass $300 million in domestic opening weekend sales, "Brand New Day" follows "Avengers: Endgame," which shattered records seven years ago. Internationally, the film accumulated roughly $572 million, with $121 million coming from China.

This means the global opening reached $927 million. Paul Dergarabedian, head of marketplace trends at Rentrak, remarked, "This sets up an incredible month of August and increases the likelihood that this summer will be the biggest in terms of revenue since 2019, surpassing the benchmark $4 billion threshold." "Brand New Day" attracted 24.1 million moviegoers in the U.S. and Canada.

Around 21% of tickets were for premium large-format screenings, with an average price of $18.55. Notable premium large-format screenings included Dolby Cinema's highest-grossing domestic weekend ever, earning $10 million, and Screen X and 4DX, which topped $7 million and $5.2 million, respectively. Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige stated, "This debut reflects the enduring power of Marvel's characters and the connection they continue to have with fans worldwide."
